It is very interesting! :thumbs up:

I just hope it feels as much of a brute as my R56, that's the only thing I'm worried about because I didn't feel I was grinning ear to ear in the F56 like I do when I get in my car or even an R56 S. The F56 isn't a bad car, it just feels more BMW than MINI to drive, which again isn't a bad thing, but if I wanted to drive a BMW I'd buy a BMW. So at the moment I'm keeping my options opened for my next car. I can only wait and see what it's like :) .

There are more things I like about the F56 than I dislike thankfully. Because it feels like a BMW to drive, it feels totally planted and flat through the bends with EDC. It's got lots of toys thanks to BMW and the quality of the interior is top notch.

Oh decisions decisions :lol:

I'm really looking forward to this! Those front brakes look huge, 6 pots maybe?

The brakes are more like the original BBK that I have fitted to the GP but like William says they're not the same as the R56 callipers ..
