@Am Chow Considering its faster than most modern hot hatchbacks i would say its pretty fast. And round a track it would leave alot of cars that cost 10× as much. 211bhp in a car that weighs about a ton and a quarter cant be slow. Ive driven the 170hp cooper s and that was faster than i expected.
take the n18 engine if you want a r56 (2012/13) if you don't care then take a f56 (2013 - until now, they got the bmw engine = very reliable!). i drive a r56 '07 with the n14 engine, it has some problems, but you'll be fine if you maintain it good. I personally can't recommend you the r53, the engine is even worse than the r56 n14s....@JEFFQUICKLE9
2003-2006 are reliable so are 2010+ Cooper s with n18 and 2013-2014 n18 jcw minis as the jcw cars didn't get them til 2013 They are sort've sought after. A clean r53s and r53 jcw are appreciating quickly A more characterful ford fiesta st in my opinion@JEFFQUICKLE9
MINI’s are so much fun to drive. You don’t sit in it, you WEAR it. And I don’t mean that as a styling statement, as a way it handles and responds to every input with lightning quickness. I owned a MINI before my VW GTI and the GTI is boring in comparison. Just as capable mind you, just very insulted from the road compared to the MINI. It’s what attracted me to the GTI after driving the stiff MINI over bumpy roads every day. Now I miss the MINI.
I love the Sound of minis even the lower end engines tend to sound pretty cool but I would not have expected this car to be that cheap from the inside..
All of you that you dont like the interior plastic sounds just dont buy an R53... For those who know what an r53 represents they can understand what it means to drive one...
My second car! After 8 years with a mk2 golf, I bought this beauty almost new in 2005. A true love story, so many trips to the beach, so many girls on the passenger seat 😂 and... oh god THANK YOU AUTOTOPNL🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I own a r53 Jcw (210) but mine doesn't bang and pop like this, it has a nice rumble and a bang now and then (stock car).. this one sounds like a popcorn machine for some reason. Overall proper fun... Best car around to jump from town to town... Was designed for english roads... so I have two of them... :))
Agree with rattle comments for this car but for what it's worth my sisters '04 r50 hardly rattles at all. Owned it since new and never had any major problems either other than slight oil leak..
Zelf heb ik een 2002 r53 met milltek uitlaat maar heb noooit zoveel geluid van dingen die rammelen... beetje raar als ik de eigenaar was zou ik er even naar laten kijken Edit: en een supercharger geluid hoor ik ook wel wat meer, toch leuk als je hem hoort als die erop zit ;)
kaatje floep klopt, ik heb een schroefset eronder die erg stug afgesteld staat. De uitlaat komt nu boven supercharger uit maar met een cai zul je de charger meer gaan horen
Sounds good, but seems to be all exhaust noise and very little supercharger whine until high in the RPM, is the exhaust a JCW, I have an R53 with a reduced pulley, uprated intercooler and custom intake and the charger whine compared to this is so much louder. Love the Recaro seats and official JCW gear knob and handbrake! Very sought after items, Awesome car!
Thats right! The jcw exhaust was lacking a lot of silencers. Now a days the exhaust is quiter and a cold air intake is fitted with a reduced pulley and airtec intercooler. Whines a lot louder now! Also it was lacking some horses at that point, ap coilovers werent set right to. The sparco seats were so nice but to heavy, got some lightweight buckets and rear seat delete and got 40kg out of the interior shaved off!
I remember my 02 plate Cooper s which I spent loads on sounded loads better than than, only had a k&n air filter 17% pulley reduction, new spark plugs remap and a scorpion exhaust
Jean V yeah maybe true... it is surely a car for someone who is single and is a car lover. Then it maybe affordable... But with a family and so on it surely has to high costs for maintenance
Ah the MINI squeaks and rattles! The MINI’s torsional stiffness is so rigid the interior trim creaks and moans. MINI R53 24,500 Nm/in, BMW E36 M3 10,900 Nm/in, Chevrolet Corvette C7 (2014 - ) 14,500, Ferrari 458 Spider 23,184 Nm/in.
Mini coopers aren’t the best when it comes to absorbing bumps in the road. You can feel literally every bump in the road that you go over but they are really fun to drive. They have lots of plastic inside pretty much everything is hard plastic lol.
Als je de auto goed onderhoud hoef je echt niet veel problemen te hebben, ik zou een R53 aanraden vanaf de facelift in 2004. Dan heb je een betere aanjager en een betere versnellingsbak
Huff Huff changed a lot on the exhaust, pre-cat delete, resonator delete, backbox delete, other than that this car is a facelift model and has an other ecu with different software that provides this jcw with a lot of pops 😋
DutchMiniR53 to take of the pre cat did you had to uninstall the stock manifold? Or can a shop get to them with it on? Also, how much did it cost you? Thanks man.
Sounds like a creaky wooden table, but a fast one
it's ridiculously slow

That’s because of the coilovers 😅

Because the old ones were build in GBR and not Germany :D

I have never seen an r53 this mint.
5 minutes of pure enjoyment.
i love Minis
Whys this interior rattle sounds like he removed some of the interior and when reinstalling it didn't purchase new gasket material
Mine doesn't squeak like that from the interior
Ian Blanchet my doesn’t either and I have had it since new all the trim pieces even have a piece of felt where they connect so they don’t rattle
Maybe he removed the door cards and never applied more felt
Perfect timing! Im actually about to buy one right now 😁
In one piece ?

Just bought a r53 and the crackling plastic is a surprise 😂
Just bought mine today!
Love it! Popping like a pan of Reddenbachers popcorn!
Can't tell if it's pops and bangs or a rattling interior? 🤔

Rock sound or interior plastic... makes it sounds cheap yet it has carbon and a decent performance and a nice exhaust note.
Sounds like Popcorn Machine

the fucking loud exhaust destroys the wonderful supercharger sound, i have exactly the same ( 2006 R53 JCW )
Damn imagine how that interior would sound in mi hometown roads.
Sound's like a school bus
Saw you with the car that day . Right now I'm standing there where you often start your videos. Call me stalker but I know where you are ;-)
Klappert wie ein Bus
WTF that sound!
I watched this video in a R53 Mini MINI ONE.
Every bump is inside of the car
He fckin stop in the middle of the road 😂
So much plastic bits of the interior making so much noise and i wish the supercharger whine was louder
An affordable daily sporty car for singles.
I would like to own one but i hate the annoying sounds from the plastice inside...
It's not reliable enough to be called affordable...
Jean V yeah maybe true... it is surely a car for someone who is single and is a car lover. Then it maybe affordable...
