Just thought I would share my pic's of my new car with you guys.
I can't believe the difference in the performance between the MC and MCS. the Acceleration is so good compared. And the whole sound of the supercharger and that deeper exhaust note is excellent. the Gravity blue leather seats seem to cup underneath you legs more than the black and grey half leather that i had before. Also feels like I've got loads of gears to choose from and anything from 2nd to 5th pull really well, 1st goes too quick. I'm finding myself block gear changing up the gears just to make the ride smoother for my passenger. All in all i now feel totally happy with my car, the cooper before did feel underpowered and the S was the answer for me.
Enjoy the pictures.

Yes went to a graphic place and asked for some blue reflective sticker, so it will reflect at night like the original red S does. I've also replaced the front bumper indicator bulbs with silvertec ones to give them a clear look.

Hey Boardingdan,

Niiice motor. Pleased with it still?? Novelty worn off yet?

make the ride smoother for my passenger
I bet she'll get used to it!! ;)

Does it play the same tune from the exhaust during engine decelleration (spl) that sounds like a backfire - like those MCS converts. we took out the other day?

Awesome, come and take me 4 a spin in it sum time? C ya

Yeah man it pops, and backfires like a good'un, sounds great, not too sure how loud it is to people out side, hopefully won't awake the the neighbours off nights, nudge nudge wink wink. Haven't had the Harman Kardon on much, maybe waisted money on it, because i can listen to the supercharger all day.
Yeah I'll take you out in it, Saturday curry night run. Or anytime really, best let the engine run in some more before giving it a load of punishment. It's had a bit already and I've only done 376 miles. But you heard the man when i picked it up he said," the engine is already bedded in just don't break the speed limit for the first few weeks". Hee Hee. How wrong he was to say that to me. Shaaron's gonna get and S next, he going to swap his Z4 for one, he likes it and it's a change from 2 seats. reckons there's not much difference from his 2.5 Z4.
My lovely girl had a go in it today she loved it, but was filling her knickers in case she damaged it. I don't mind her driving it just stay away from the KERBS!
Smell you later Dude.

Cheers for your comments guys.
I've had the car a week and the drive is so much better than the cooper, actually feels like a different car because you do have to be careful when you apply the power, only had to think about the corner speed and then stamp on the accelerator half way around a bend in the cooper, but in the S you'll have ASC flashing or if it's off you'll be in the bush. having lots of fun just accelerating in a straight line. mad because that was crap fun in the cooper. Love the car to bits just managing to find a way of driving it smoothly, find the supercharger is happier above the 2000 rev line, seems to bog down a little below that.
