ExtremeContact Sport tires are a great dual duty street performance/track tire. I did a bunch of track days on them with my R56 and they always performed great.
I run the Dunlop Direzza on my 2007 JCW - with no complaints.
I use febi or glysantil brands, haven't noticed any difference between cars.
Upgrade to PIAA 2500k fog lights on my r55 MCS.
Dont use the cheap stuff. Liqui moly or Castrol!
This is what I use… with a Fram synthetic oil filter.
R60, I use liqui moly 5w-40. 0w-40 is good too. Flows better at start up. Same viscosity at operating temp.
My mechanic (Gigamot - MINI specialists) here in Germany recommended and swears by 5W40 for my R56s.
I have been using it for 3 years on all 5 MINIs.
No issues, summer or winter.
Borsch Aerotwin. They’re not brilliant, but they’re good.
The brand new Falken tires I got for my 2016 Mini were absolute trash. Garbage tire. Never again.
I bought 2025 Mini Cooper S a month ago and I already have flat tire incident third time. I am a new driver so did hit a pothole at 20ish mph but nothing at a high speed.
