I've seen a lot of mention of other R56-specific rear bars, but I'm wondering if anyone out there has actually installed the H&R #71416-2 *on a R56 MCS*. I've seen it listed in various places for 2002-2007 MINIs (I have one on my R53 that's currently for sale). H&R's own website lists a new R56-specific part #71452 under development, but I haven't heard anything more.

I thought that the 19mm bar was perfectly balanced for my R53 with sport suspension - a little tweaking with tire pressure could get the car to rotate as much/little as you'd want. I also love the no-squeak teflon-lined bushings, so I hope to stick with H&R for my '08 MCS / ss. But, autocross season starts this Sunday & I'm getting itchy....

 

it works fine on an '07. I have the same one. Purchased here:
