Well yea it's pricey but I think it's worth it.. Lol. especially after test driving it and seing one up close in the flesh, love the interioir, love the leather recaro heated seats and it goes really well, alot quicker than the 172 (little lighter and 50bhp more and tap from the SC) and SC whine...
Yea it's pricey but my uncle is high up in BMW and is in charge of BMW Mini here In carlisle so I can get good discount and APR% on it, family rates n dicount FTFW!! ;) so when I come to sell it on I shouldn't loose much money after my discount etc.
but I agree on the 200 losing money quickly...
Suprised most people have opted for the 200, would of thought it would be otherway around lol.
Going to have another look at it tommorrow but need to know some info if anyone can help out..
Just how offen does it need serviced etc and Whats the crack with Cambelt changes or any other major...
Tunst, i have a very good friend selling his dci, mint example as he is a granny driver and i must say, his car is spotless, iv never seen it dirty. rly is a clean and mint example. local 2 u aswell!
pm me if your interested.
what would you rather have the new 200 or the Mini GP and why?
GP
-quicker in every area
-SC wine
-better build quality
-rare
-hold its money better i would think
200
-four seats and bit more practicle
-warranty
-brand new

So what can you get away with?
Maby the following minor mods..?
-Remap?
-Lowering Springs?
-Spacers?
-Filter?
-Performance tyres?
-Brake pads?

so spooling noise can be increased by short ram induction / filters etc?
i wouldnt want a dump valve tttssssssss noise.. tooo chavy.. i just like the waste gate cha cha cha noise and turbo spool!! ;)
what turbo additions are needed to create "waste gate chatter" and the "turbo spooling" noise or does it just depend on the turbo itself?
is there any other names these 2 noises are known as?
i had a passanger ride in a P1 and loved the noises it made!

It has user name and password etc in additional netWork settings!? Could that be the key for it once paid as it says on wifi leaflet that login etc is required or would it still not work thru the Xbox n not a laptop???
Lol.. Working away and brought the box along with the wireless adaptor to try to connect to xbox live to pass the time by..
Have got connected to the premier inn's wifi (swisscom router) but I cant connect to the Internet.. Any idea on how to by pass this?
It's got no security or...
Yea I did, alot better ride (bigger profile tyres absorb the road better) turn in was greatly improved also accel felt slightly quicker! Brakes in theory should also be alot better!
Another plus is tyres are alot cheaper to buy aswell!! ;)
playing COD6 then suddenly for no reason at all.. "Diconnected from XboxLive", so went and checked my netwrok and pc etc and all is fine.. so i did the test on the 360 and says i am connected to internet fine but just wont connect to live :S
so i turned the router off anyway and then back on...
handling will be better but wouldnt be noticable on b-roads i would say it would come into play on the track.. i have H&Rs, and ride quality is bang on for coilovers! cant complain TBF
only worth upgrading if u can get ahold of a decent 2nd hand set. i wouldnt splash out on a new set of H&R tbh..
thanks guys, i hope you are right and it does sell well and that the next owner takes as much care if not more than what i do.
but yea best time for me really over winter. i want to move onto a quicker n bigger turbo car for next year which i assume will cost even more to run :( . I can only...
