R56 MINI Cooper S
Discussion
Here's my new R56 MINI Cooper S.
Had it for 3 weeks now; has already spent a week in the garage having the timing chain replaced (common problem on these) and a new clutch! All done under Warrenty - big thumbs up to Sytner Chigwell for this.
I know the interior is quite unusual, but I think it looks stunning. The exterior has also grown on me; I'm now waiting for the sun to come out so I can see it sparkle! It's officially called Sparkling Silver, but can look gold in some lights. Think of a champagne-type hue and you're nearly there.
It's a "launch model" so it's pretty fully loaded - Redwood Lounge Leather, Nav, Panoramic Sunroof, Chilli Pack, Cruise, Climate, PDC etc etc...
Love the car, the only dislikes are the harsh ride and the tramlining - I suspect the RFTs cause both of these issues to a degree!

The brand of tyres will have an impact on tramlining, if you have pirelli euforias that could be the issue.
Agreed, just binned the Pirellis on mine and fitted some Avons instead and it's miles better.I really like the interior on that car, a bit different to the normal
