Nice car Vinnie, I'm another Corkonian who picked up my new Mini Cooper R56 on Jan 2nd. First time Mini owner so really delighted with it. Had 2 Ford Pumas before this so it was time for a change.

I went for Chilli Red with Black roof and mirrors and black bonnet stripes. I added in the Pepper pack, MFSW, Exterior mirror pack, traction control. Got the tlc thrown in along with some cleaning products and got €250 off the price from the Dealer I ended up going with. I did trade in a 02 Puma so probably had a bit more to play with.

I shopped around a fair bit to get the best deal but it was worth it

I'll try and attach some pictures when I can

R56 December 5th 2006 Build

Drives better every day, average fuel consumption 40+ mpg. Mid range pull is impressive and the flatspot under 2k vastly improving - BMW expect ECU update March. Steering & brakes spot on, suspension settled down nicely. No problems with the radio boost or IPod connection. Big bonus - no rattles or creaks unlike my previous Coopers ( this is my 3rd, had 52 & 04 reg Coopers). This 2nd generation is fun, looks great ( clean it every night) & can't wait for the summer to make full use of the sunroof. Picture of the wheel shows the ugly weights removed & the wheels have been rebalanced.
