I'm sure that by now most of you R56 owners have checked out M7's R56 dyno numbers.

I'm wondering if those of us with an automatic transmission will gain power increases close to those of the 6-spd manual. I'm sure somewhere down the road Peter will have an opportunity to put a R56 MCSa on the dyno.

208 HP & 244 TQ at the rear wheel without the head coming off or replacing the exhaust system certainly has my juices flowing... It also further frustrates me that Mini doesn't offer LSD with the auto - all that power can only increase torque steer under hard acceleration.

 

I'd REALLY like the see that at the REAR wheels on a Mini

They need to tune out of the the torqe loss below 2700 RPM to really have a hit. That's the meat of the powerband for daily driving and a HUGE loss on that graph.

 

Damn.. did I do that... Good catch.

 

Where can I get the ECU chips, are they available yet? What's the installation like?

 

They're still working on it. Check the "Second Generation" Drivetrain section for updates.

 

I am happy with 0-60 in 6.2 sec.
