Here is my first Mini, R56 S, bought on January 31 and brought home on Feb 11. Manufactured in Oct. 2010, but sold in January 2011. It has about 25,000 miles. I am getting used to it and really liking the drive.



I removed the Union Jack from the roof. I like being able to see the sky...



This still has Union Jack seat covers. I found out that they are made in Japan and are really good. I will eventually replace them with a more conservative design.



I also just put on Michelin tires.

Thanks!
bc racing br’s.
7k springs in the front 6k in the rear.
Adjustable rear lower control arms
17x7.5 45mm Koenig featherlights
bf goodrich g force comp 2s sport 225/45/17

It was horrible to daily drive and didn’t stay that way for long. I ended up bringing it up about 1 1/4 inch.
Now it’s a lot easier to maneuver the potmarked post apocalyptic road system that is Central Fl.
You’ll catch air on I-4 in Orlando with a mildly stiff setup.

I've done everything possible to love looking at my car while the regret of not buying an S is always in the back of my head...

Well alright understood. Your current mini has a great look to it. You have tastefully adorned it to be an eye catcher.
