LOL. I know. It was either R32 and no house, or something more sensible and a house aswell. £500 to insure it. £130 to tax it. 40 mpg. Just ticks all the boxes I wanted.

It's got everything on it bar full leather and Climate. After the 182 I just want something relatively comfy and quiet.

sounds awesome! why so cheap?

and decent mpg? arent these quite powerful?

Love that!

I'm made up mate! Can't wait to pick it up now. 500 mile round trip but should be worth it, nice drive home to get used to it too.

I miss my 182 though. I was properly gutted when the guy drove it off. As it was though it was just a car to put a smile on your face, and I need a little more than that now. Hence why the Mini will probably remain standard. And more importantly quiet.

Insurance group 15 I think, so less than the Clio. I was surprised it was so cheap aswell tbh.

1.6 Turbo. 175bhp / 190(ish) ft/lb. Although from reading up, alotof cars make more than book figures, some more than 190bhp standard, which is why it would be interesting to get in on the rolling road.

I think it will be as quick as the 182, just won't feel it because it is not as raw.

ah sounds brilliant. hopefully its a strong one

your 182 was a bit of a go kart tbh

RDH · Oct 2, 2012

Exactly. The Mini will still be fun. But won't destroy my back or make my head explode after 20 miles.

No No No No. R56 is all about the noise, go watch some YouTube videos of JCW Exhaust and then tell me you want it quiet.

They do sound awesome with the JCW system, but I honestly want it as quiet as possible for normal driving, and hopefully the standard exhaust will do me for when I'm im the mood. The exhaust on my old R53 actually sounded pretty good for a standard system!

JamesBryan · Oct 3, 2012

Even if you did take your bumper off, wouldn't the subframe and other bits still bottom out?

JoeyD · Oct 3, 2012

Don't want to smash my sump. Better not run it actually. I'm out.

Not my fault he's got a low car is it lol

I bet it won't be the only one that struggles to get on.

May as well try though if you've got the means to taking the bumper off.

Jonff · Oct 4, 2012

If joey 's can't make it on there, then nobody will make it on

Christopher · Oct 4, 2012

You'll be fine Joe! Don't stress. lol.

Is EFI wide enough for my car? I'm not bothered about it being a bit lower.
