Hi,

I'm looking to buy a 2011 Mini Hatch Cooper D 1.6l with Chilli Pack upgrades and was wondering if this version automatically comes with a "sport suspension" rather than the standard suspension? It has a "sport mode" that tightens the steering and suspension, but can't seem to find much concrete information if these version came with a different suspension too?

Reason I'm curious is that I live in an area with pretty poor quality roads and feel a more solid sporty suspension may be uncomfortable long-term.

Thanks for that feedback. Error in my post title, I didn't mean R56, it's an F56 2011 version. Is that still the engine you mentioned that the timing chain bust on?
