Well .. I thought I was going to a thread where discussion centered around the great things about an R56 S. Was even going to put in some of my own comments on what I like about mine. Come to find out, it looks like I'm interrupting some kind of tell-it-to-the-world email exchange.

Here is what I have to add to the list:
- the key fob. Looks cool and unconventional. And I don't have to be afraid that it pokes through a pocket.
- the mood lighting. It sure adds to the cool factor of a MINI
- three nice cup holders!

I suppose that would be a matter of perspective as well.
My Wife already thinks I have transcended all things sane. I think I have a lot more room before I reach the end of any rope I may be dangling from.
Now, I may have a conundrum on my hands soon. I got notice for jury duty. Second week in May. Which is going to be around the time 'Romi' should arrive. So, do I acquit as fast as possible? Or do I proclaim the death sentence as being too lenient during jury selection for a civil matter?

1. I've already caught a few people ogling it, and a neighbor who hasn't said a word to us came by yesterday as I was detailing to introduce himself and chat about the car.
2. The white wheels (that are a joy to clean, because they look so damn good when I'm done).
3. The aggressive front end and that sexy honeycomb grille.
4. The turn signals.
5. It does exactly what I tell it to do; moves through traffic effortlessly.
6. The sunroof.
7. The mood lighting.
8. The desire it instills in me to keep it looking pristine, and how it has me looking forward to driving to work.

Still getting to know my MINI, but one thing I'd add to the list:
(I know R53 fans lament the loss of the burble, but I've never had an R53. I'm comparing with my previous car, a 6-cyl Audi A4. It didn't have a burble or a growl.)
- The engine's "growl"

Okay, my five:
1. Power, raw power
2. Torque (except when I don't want the torque steer!)
3. Quiet sunroof
4. OBC gives great info right in front, along with a digital speedo (I never use the big one). After driving a '94 BMW, this is all new to me.
5. It's red--always wanted a red car. This one's red, REALLY red.
Skuzzy, I think the local fuzz and DPS should be warned about your imbalance--you need to be monitored closely right now!
Poor Skuzzy... :impatient
