one word: SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSWEEEEEEEEEEEETTTT!!!

it's the S with the premium and sport packages, 18" wheels and complete aero kit.
the car handled like a dream, gripped the road while cornering like spiderman! the sunroof
was awesome except that there was quite a bit of noise while in high speed, but hey, i
can live with that! anyway, by the time i got back to the dealer, almost an hour had passed,
they asked me if i wanted to take it out for another ride cos they said i looked like i needed
more hehehe and they were right but i had to go!

it's such a beautiful thing! =)

 

I felt the same way after my test drive, but i only got about 20 minutes, because they had an actual sign up sheep for test drive times, that was booked solid for some 2 weeks! Glad you like the car, and I take it you put down your deposit?

u betcha! =)
i almost bought the GTI 337 which is a great car, but i am so glad that i waited and
now i will be experiencing this solid-performance piece of art!

 

Just curious - where did you trest drive that let you go for an hour??? And where do I put my name on that list!

 

Where did the 18" Wheels come from ... were they put on by the dealer ?

 

Yeah, they have some 18'' tires that are a half inch wider too! you can check everything out at miniusa.com unter acessories in the gallery

 

The two largest MINI spec wheels available are the R85(S-lite style) and R90's(BBS style)
These are both 17" wheels.

I'm pretty sure the BBS are 17x7 and the S-lites are 17x7.5

By the way thanks for pointing out the accessories area on MINIUSA. I've been on that page several times and never seen that link! Love those aero kits!!!
