Those On The Fence For Mods (Exhaust,CAI,15% Pulley) DO IT!!
I had an opportunity today to drive a 06 MCS--Bone Stock. Wow. My 15 month old '05 MCS with Magna Flow Exhaust/Alta CAI and just installed Alta 15% pulley makes the stock MCS seem quite mundane, quiet and almost boring. I was amazed at the difference in the driving experience. Not only the performance/but the wonderfully enhanced sounds that emit from the engine (SC whine/wailing) to the fantastic exhaust notes through the Magna Flow trumpets. For $1500 I have the sweetest sounding/performing car I think I have ever had. (That includes and old 911/5.0 Mustang/Z28 Camaro and a C5 Vette)!!
So those of you on the fence: I recommend checking out someones MINI with these mods. It will amaze you and get you off the fence.

In the end, I felt just like the people I make fun of who spend thousands of dollars modifying Civics.
To each their own.

And, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Most folks will only get a glimpse of the front as you pass, and the car will then get rapidly smaller.

Then the Mini Cooper would be the most perfect car on this planet, in my subjective opinion.
But alas, I can't wait on hearsay, and I know it's been a rumor that they're supposedly going to have an AWD variant of the next gen Mini, but we're talking about that supposedly not happening until '08-'09.
Hey, I'm an impatient jerk! Two years? That's an eternity. But hell, if they make it, I WILL buy one.
So if anyone from Mini USA is reading this, just let me say that I'm only leaving the fold for a little while. You make an AWD version of your awesome little razorbox, mark me down.
If you make it, I will come(and so will my checkbook!)
