Supercharged? You sure about that?

Yes, very sure. The whine it makes at 7000 rpm is somewhat an indicator also.

I'm 33, a planning manager, and my daily drive is a BMW e91 330d touring - makes a good compromise for doing 18k a year, hauling the family around, and being reasonably entertaining to drive

23, Technical Sales, 987 Gen 2 Boxster S. Can also proudly say it's not financed either, 2.5 years of saving every penny I earned over 2 jobs!

Posted to this thread two years ago. Things have moved on career wise but the cars haven't changed much.

Left telecoms and the crushing tedium of commuting 3-4hrs a day. Am now an ADI so spend my entire day in Pug207 diesel .

Still have the S4 and the Spider but both get used less than ever but I really can't bring myself round to get rid of them as then I'd be terminally depressed at the thought of a lifetime condemned to driving a French 70hp tractor

Moved on with the DB9 which has gone into a weekend car now.

25 , Director and running the S500 as a daily.

Nothing is financed for me either nor do I live in a 2 bedroom terrace house

It's a thread about daily drivers, not about your financial position.

Yours is an '08 plate Cooper S isn't it? That's the R56 model with the turbo unit as apposed to the older R53 Supercharged engine. That's what he's getting at.

The older engine stayed in the convertible till 2009 I believe.

Same happened with the F56. The Cooper/S and One all got new engines in 2014 but the other variants retained the older engine (and body style) for a year or two.

Mine is an R52, not an R56. The new R57 convertible with the turbo engine didn't release until Sept 2008, mine is a March 08 car.

The R52 was in production with the supercharged engine up until July 08.

I purposefully wanted one of the last of the supercharged cars Even though the turbo R57 makes more power more easily, the supercharged engine with a reduction pulley, milltek, airbox and a GRS intercooler is a great car.
