Not sure on the price.

226 HP/ 210 ft lbs torque
New Sports exhaust
18x7.5 wheels available (or 17x7.5)
Lowering springs or adjustable racing suspension
Bonnet bulge

Pretty aggressive delivery car! More room inside for some serious audio upgrades I guess.

 

I'd wish they shot the interior. I like the outside, but there is no shine. Wheels are great.

 

There are some pics around of the interior...worth looking up if only for the amusement. I like the Clubman version personally, especially since it really isn't much a departure from the coupe they also modified. I have to say that I like it a lot more than their efforts on the first gen car w/ that rediculous grill/bumper business, so perhaps that has skewed my view towards the positive.

 

Bonnet bulge is listed.....but is it more bulged than the stock one? I don't see much of a difference from stock....but a bigger bulge would be pretty cool like the M3. My guess is that whoever wrote the article didn't realize that the car came stock with the bulge

 

Does the Big Bulge cover a Big Turbo?
I wonder what modifacations they did to get the 226hp!
It can't be just the exhaust.

 

Has a nice sound to it! http://www.ac-schnitzer.de/en/mini/p...-ac-schnitzer/ also looks like the do some software stuff to get the HP up.

 

Oh no...lots of software business, too. These cars are very sophisticated.
