The wheels should add at least another 5-7 hp.

My JCW gear **** added at least 10hp
Don't you know it!
I'm in San Antonio now, killing time at a coffee shop until my 2:00 appointment. Man, it's tough to concentrate on work right now! My mind just keeps saying "MINI MINI MINI MINI MINI!"

That's right, they are 17s. They weigh 21.9 lbs each, where as regular S-lites weigh 25.1 lbs each.
I am not sure how much the wheels I have on now weigh (The 5 spoke). I could be shedding a few pounds.

Nice! My R90's weigh about 10,4 kg

Thanks, everyone! I actually had some lingering concerns about going with red, but after seeing it in person...wow. No more concerns. It just comes alive in the sun!
As for the Clubbie itself...I've found a few minor things I miss about my R53 (one-touch on the sunroof, normal blinkers, the little elastic band on the visor I used to hold my parking garage badge...), but overall I couldn't be happier. I can't believe anyone is really dissatisfied with this car's exhaust note. Okay, so it's missing the burble, but it sounds a lot deeper and throatier than my old MCS. My wife even noticed, and, well, she doesn't notice such things.
The seats are much more comfortable, the cupholders actually hold more than V8 cans, and the AISIN is much, much smoother in the R55. If I didn't know they weren't the same transmission, just programmed differently, I don't know if I'd believe it!
Let's see, what else. I have an actual, accessible secret compartment! My MFSW buttons are silver. And the barn doors are not a visiblity hazard at all. I actually quite like them back there...the extra bits in the rear view make it a lot easier for me to put something between my eyes and that moron behind me with their misaligned headlights!
