I just found out I am a R53 elitist. :)

Like others have said, I thought I would never trade my R53 for an R56. I swore I did not want to do away with the Supercharger whine and that the handling was far superior. Then I got my 2012 and found out how silly I was. The supercharger whine is replaced with a much better sounding exhaust, the turbo produces so much more low end torque than my R53 ever did even with a CAI and 15% pulley. I will conceded that the handling of the standard R56 was way too soft, but the JCW suspension solved that one and then some.
So only thing I have to say is try out an R56 and I am sure would change your opinion like I did.
