Awesome - I have a modded JCW. Any chance you could drive the R56 GP2 and compare? Not as special as the GP1 but it did have a full aero pack including flat underfloors and a working diffuser from Williams Engineering.
Hey @AutoTopNL, can you explain your view on the tyres? I got them installed on my R53 (recommended by a mechanic) and in the 30km that I drove, it felt like the sidewall of the tire was super soft and the steering wheel felt numb. If you don't mind can you explain how the tires felt on your side. Thanks Edit : Those are Dunlops Sport MAXX? after i watched the full video i think we got the same point, i'm pissed bc with my Hankook Ventus the compund felt too hard but was ok.
It’s my car. Honestly, when i installed the tires i had the same on the f56 i had at the time and i was driving the GP more in the rain (where this tires are the best). However i now drive the car now more in dry conditions and on track and i cannot agree more with the statement that this car deserves a nice set of Cup2’s😄
I think it looks ugly. It has so much stuff going on and its so small that it one would easily assume the mods are fake 10$ ebay ones even though they're not
this is my car. I have it all the time. When i go to a petrol station, people talk to me and ask me what mods i have done. If i say it’s stock they look confused and usually walk away😂😂
Nobody:
R53 engine: “Gneeeeeeeeeee”
I have driven a Mini GP a couple of years ago.. can still remember the smile on my face. . :)
Love this car so much, i have a r53 170cv it’s allready so much fun ! Can’t imagine the GP 🤤
r53 and its supercharger whinings.. awesome GP.
Some say Mini is for woman and not for men… but imo these cars are really fun to drive and cool looking
💯 and you attract women so win win car
They are for women lol
thanks bro👍🏻

@@SumTingWong-25 bad mood because the period cramps are too much?
A forged engine part will usually be heavier than a stock cast part... thats how its stronger
Hands down a dream car of mine, I cannot wait to make it one day and have one of these bad boys to drive around in!!
Such a fun car to own and drive. Had one of these 10 years ago.
"It's all about weight saving, bro!" 😂😂😂. As an American living in CA, that was pretty flawless execution of the accent
And NO the hood scoop of an R56 is not fake...i have one in my garage...
I have seen some cold air intake kits that make it functional
I have a Cooper S r55 and the hood scoop is open, so the engine can get air from the scoop!!
13:25 i was expecting a little tune humming.😂
Everything is on the right side 💯
"Commercial brake here". No ad for me 😂

Loved it since it came out
Love it. It is so fun compared to the F series
Might be the best car ever made.
That's a SUPER COOPER

No speedo zoom cam ?
Btw may I suggest to put down specs in the written description area pls ?
There is a seperate autobahn video of this car from a few weeks back
5:12 AutoTopNL closed the door by the glass 😭
Did Mini ever fix the melting wiring harness problems?
Never understand people who own nice performance cars and put crap tyres on them.

the supercharger turns the water pump or vice versa I can't remember
If I had the money to buy a Mini Cooper like this.........I'd still buy something else.
you can’t even drive kid 💀😂😂😂
@@SumTingWong-25 "kid"? I got my license in 1981 and I used to own a real Mini Cooper back then.
@@nicomeier8098 well it obviously wasn’t the real mini the r53 u had the 1.6 puddle jumper 🤣
@@nicomeier8098 if you’re on uk let me know i’ll pick u up show u a real toy
What would you get for this amount of money which would give you more fun?
A True MINI, not the Chubby one from nowadays.
@9:26 bridgestone or dunlop?
Probably a mistake because Bridgestones are better than Dunlops.
Dunlop sport maxx. Great in the rain, sh** on track
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Please do Lamborghini revuelto in autobahn
Tritec engine sucks though. N18 4live. This one sounds healthy I have to admit.
should hear mine then 😉
BMW didnt buy Mini, they bought Rover to get rights to the Mini name/brand and then sold Rover on
Left hand drive feels so weird
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
this engine sound...😆
To me it looks like a shoebox, but I’m a Chevy guy so
Pocket Rocket
vw took over? i thought it was BMW
dont they have garbage Brazilian made engines?
Nah thnx....
not sure these are great cars...
Why do you think so?

Womp womp 🤡🤡
Either all minis look ugly or none do
Yes, but it is so 2000's, it's a good vibe nostalgia
@@TheSkyline35 idk not for me personally it feels like something i would build in a need for speed game back in 2003
