R53S with R56 rear trailing arms retro fitted as well as the R56 control arms. Would make the R53 more reliable? Also the Sprintex supercharger system. Aside of that it's lookin like the R56S.
Whoever you spoke to, they're absolutely right.but having recently rung a mini specialist they told me that the r53 was the one to go for. Apparently they have far less issues, the engines will go on forever
yes your totally on the money with that prince engines are fragile for sure,, i like the r53 more and if wanted a track car or something for giggles r53 forged and 250bhp 280 bhp deffo would be what i would buy,,Whoever you spoke to, they're absolutely right.
The Prince engine in the R56 is a total lemon regards reliability.
