We are thinking of changing our other car inherited from my father . Looking at adding another mini .

Either f55 cooper sd moonwalk grey , most things ticked apart from heated front screen . 2017 21k miles

Or f56 cooper s orange , same again most things ticked apart from HK . 2018 13k miles

Will we get pops and bangs from standard exhaust ?

both from same mini dealer.

Unless you need the diesel for mileage or the 5-door for the practicality, I'd recommend going for the petrol S.

I can't quite remember if MINI had completely eliminated pops and bangs on the first LCI so I'm not sure if you'll get any pops and bangs. I seem to recall there was also an issue fitting the JCW Pro exhaust to LCI models due to additional filters.

Either way though I think you'll end up with a great car. :thumbs up:

The very first LCI cars weren’t fitted with GPF/PPF’s so you will should still get some nice noises from the exhaust.

Best choice F56 S and if your lucky no PPF and fit the Pro exhaust which will put lots of smiles on your face :yes nod:

My better half has an F55 SD. We needed 5 doors & when this one popped up it had all the bits we needed. Sports button, LED's & full leather. We also wanted something that could easily breeze down south to see family, with another eye on long term ownership (i.e. I want it next). The diesel has plenty grunt/torque & is a hoot to drive. £30 road tax & impressive mpg, what's not to like :thumbs up:

Well . The wife liked the F55 sd ( it will be her daily ) . She said she would take mine if she wanted some fun . A very nice new F55 cooper with JCW pack in the showroom but way to much for us at the mo . So collect the F55 next weekend . Hopefully changing all the chrome to black .

I'd reckon she'll have all the fun she needs in the SD tbh :thumbs up:

Lovely car, I’m trying to work out if it’s the same colour as mine as I’ve not seen another on the road yet..... Emerald Grey ?
