R60 What did you do to your Countryman TODAY?

Finally finished my 3" exhaust. Running the ATP 3" downpipe and a full custom exhaust from the DP back. No cats, 14" MangaFlow muffler in the mid pipe and a Magnaflow Race muffler on each 2.5" exit pipe.
Low end spool is a lot smoother, a little power did shift to the mid range, but it's feels great. A better flowing manifold and head will help a lot. Mid range hit hard and top end keeps on pulling.
Sound clip coming soon...

Installed powerflex lower torque arm inserts. Boy was it a pain in the a$$. Not as easy as it was in my R53. Needed to trim a little here and there. Having a 1x30 belt grinder made quick work in shaving it down nicely. There's not a lot of room to work with in maneuvering that torque arm and then with the added poly inserts, it doesn't flex much. What I thought would be a 15 min job turned into a all morning job.
A little more NVH but I was used to it since I had it in my R53 before.

Question: What bumper protector lip are you running. Looks nice. My CPO has a bunch of scratches and nicks, this would help a lot.

I got it from Outmotoring, heavy duty rear bumper guard. It helps. Didn't realize how much that top part of the rear bumper gets banged with things...

Yep went with the competition. I went back and forth with the idea of not doing it but for the dollar amount of the up charge and ideas of bigger upgrades down the line i just went with it.
Im impressed with the quality of the intercooler for the price and in general and I have owned several other brands across many cars.

Do you have a full on front shot? I think i like it but need to see more. I think it would look good with my red and black but i would need to black out the chrome rings.

I didn't manage one but I will snap one for you tomorrow. Getting the piano trim is my next thing to do.
