I bought a MCS R56

After Months of searching and researching, I finally pulled the Trigger. I bought a 2008, pure silver MCS R56. Finally I am at peace. . Now The Mods begin.......

I agree. Even though every MINI comes with that special "fun package" option, modding does personalize the car a bit and sometimes squeezes even a bit more performance out, which in my opinion makes the car even more fun to drive. I've only done performance mods on my MCS, and at around 200WHP, it's a blast to drive.

Happy motoring (and modding)!

Welcome to the forum, good looking MINI, maybe you could photoshop that tow away zone sign out of the picture, it would be a better shot.

pilot sport stay quiet- others not so much

Put on BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW-2 and can only complain about noise levels after 20000 miles. Priced very well, wet and dry grip and tire wear are excellent, just progressively got louder and louder. Pilot sports on other cars have never gotten so loud. Run-flat tires do not ride or handle as well as non run-flat. Did the car come with the sport suspension option?

My Mini came with Brand New Pirelli Run Flats, So New tires are a little ways off. Yes, My Mini has the Sport Suspension Package
