Quick Carbon Question

[fast fun 2]

Hi all,
I know the 07 and newer S models have issues with the carbon buildup...that being said, do the non S models? If the non S models dont have the problem it would be a better option for me I believe. Im currently looking to purchase my first Mini and dont want any trouble.
Thanks
Johnny

Cooper models have port injection so carbon build up shouldn't be a problem.

Port Injection versus Direct Injection

If you're happy with 60 less horsepower ... go for it

Not sure if there's much in the way of ECU remaps for the 2nd Gen Cooper.

Have you given up on the idea of a 1st Gen MCS?

Not at all, just exploring all options right now. Trust me I would miss the blower whine
