BMW (but not)

[Mnbrennan]

As you all know alongside the M Coupe I also has an E93 M3. Whilst it was a 'great' car I never really gelled with it.

Looking for something more practical I started viewing minis. This inially started with Cooper S's and I saw a few. I eventually went to see one at Berry Heathrow I saw something else in the forecourt...

I was interested in what it was. I was informed it was a Challenge 210. 210 bhp and limited to 210 examples

I took it for a drive and was won over. It has an active exhaust which does this...

When originally sold mini would make owners sign a disclaimer that that mode could only be used on track.

Anyway, I'm really enjoying the car and gave gelled with it much more than the M3

BTW Berry were utterly useless and I hope to never see them again...

Lovely car, we bought a Mini Countryman Cooper SD a year ago, considering it’s diesel it’s mad.....it also drives like a Go Kart

Envious that you can tone the noise down, great cars the mini. Have to compare the sound with the coupe sooner rather than later. I’ll have to pop over when your in.

I love the original minis , I’d definitely have one , They seam so small now , a lot of the new generation won’t fit in one as my grandsons are so tall including their friends
