I agree, they look pretty tight, but they do seem kind of femme to me. Too bad my ego can't get past this

I think they would be a blast to drive...

That's why you get them for the wife!

Technically, it's not YOUR car, but you still have driving rights.

I did some searching and found a pic of the blower on a MINI forum.

Here's the link to the thread I pulled these pics from:

B, which is it?? I swear I read somewhere that it had a M90, but I could have been dreaming, or maybe it was wishful thinking.

Something interesting I pcked up from there ...

Also, for the M112, I have recently heard of people actually having custom rotors done that are a screw type, dunno if it's urban legend or not, but it has been discussed by the Lightning community (and no, it's not a case of confusion with the Kenne Bell product). Would be one heck of an enginnering/fabrication job though, I'd imagine.

Would that mean we could make our RADIX's into a twin screw and produce more boost???

TUrns out it is the M45. I think the John Cooper Works package might put on an M62 though. Not sure about that.

I've seen one with a checkered flag paint job on the roof , it looked pretty sick, I wouldn't mind having one to commute to school with. Chicks dig them, but yeah not the manlyest thing around.
