Video of BLUE R56 MCS - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting (http://s161.photobucket.com/albums/t210/speed3985/?action=view&current=BLUER56MCS.flv)



I know it ain't funny if your new S does this but OMG you just have to give a wee chuckle when you listen to this.

I've heard a Fordson Major sounding better. Maybe John Deer designed the engine and not some "French Dude" was it a french dude.??

Oh my god.....

If that was my car I think I would just be handing it back to the dealer and getting my pennies back.

Thankfully my R56 S has never made sounds like that.

yeh I know.

I don't mean it is funny having that sound.

I mean it is funny the way Mini are dealing with it.

Spend all this money on the new Mini and what do they end up with a car that sounds like it's been on the shandy for two weeks.

A Cooper S Works passed me this morning just as i had parked up at work and a lovely popping/crackling could be heard coming from the Exhaust. I wonder if my JCW Exhaust on my Cooper makes the same noise since it is the same kind of exhaust system albeit the S has 2 back boxes. A great sound.......
