Girl I work with has a Cooper S Clubman as a loaner while her X5 is in the shop. Just took it around the block, and the damn thing has balls. Turbo spools almost instantly, I romped on it from a light and it spun through first and it's an auto, lol.

one of my neighbors has one.....and for the longest time i thought he was such a tool because he's this very tall old man.....and i'm thinking...ok he's either an afficionado (his wife drives an A6 wagon) or just super weird...

then i realized he also has an M6 and recently a dark blue Ferrari California...

ughhh now i just want to BE him...lol

parts come in this weekend if all goes right.
and... i have to get new tires fml
and raise my car and put my stocks back on so i can get my 50k maintenance done. bahhh

037

definitely better than 46k. but I assume the options would be pricey and...optional.

Options:
Electronic parking aid
Cruise control
Navigation aid
Front heated seat
Leather seat
Power sunroof
Manual sunroof
High intensity discharge headlights
Heated exterior mirror
Electrochromic interior rearview mirror
Rain sensing wipers


for that price might as well get a 3 series.

hey Solo, what u been up to, how's the bike?

They're made by BMW. Of course the options are ridiculously expensive. Damn you BMW.

037

we need to have a dyno meet, I'm curious about how much power I'm actually putting down to the ground.

CGP CL9

lol leo dont get your hopes up.
a lot of "power" is psychological misbelief lol. unless you're in a high powered exotic.
almost everyone i know except for a certain few have been let down or unsatisfied by dyno runs because they expected more power.

037

no worries Jon, I spend most of my time in reality. After reading up on the RL side of the forum I'm not expecting more than 220whp

TLin401

This is what the RL would do.

don't waste a dyno run on what you have. What, pulleys, and an intake?

JCL622

220 sounds pretty decent at the wheels -

hmm

EX vs RL....lmaoo 2 pigs down a straight

(3.5L 297HP, 262lbs of tq) vs (3.7L 300HP 271lbs of tq)

(.83g's vs .84g's on Skidpad)

3754lbs vs 4080lbs

ATTESA E-TS AWD vs SH-AWD

actually this could be pretty fun....like watching two snails races down a twig....
