That was a really really good car and do everything I wanted, even the power was ample and loved the sound of it

Really like the contrasting stripes.

First new shape mini I've actually liked the look of mainly due to the colour, but for me the r56 will always be king :) good review.

Thank you glad you enjoyed it and hope some of the excitement of that car came out 😊

The wheels are 18 inch "Double Spoke 534". What makes them special is that they are forged. I have a White Silver Metallic 2019 Cooper S (manual) on order with these wheels without having ever seen a Cooper S in White Silver Metallic nor the wheels in real life. So nice to see a WSM car with those exact wheels in a video. The valve exhaust was outlawed sometime in 2018. 2019 cars have particle filters and can't use the valve exhaust except the JCW which doesn't have a particle filter but is still sold in some markets regardless. You make nice down to earth videos keep it up :o)

Thank you very much for the comments , you are obviously a massive mini fan and know your stuff. Yes was end of 2018 when the particle filters came in. I was told by the dealer they were 19’ wheels but if you have some on order maybe not 😂. Has to be the best mini I have driven in terms of fun factor although the sound of the exhaust was addictive. Got a pov video to put together but no idea how good the footage is. Are you in the uk ?

I'm in Denmark. I wanted a compact fun to drive GTI-style of car. After almost a year I decided on a Mini. It delivers a nice overall package for me. Also I like how Mini owners are enthusiastic. Sadly I came too late for the 211HP upgrade & JCW ProTuning exhaust. This option actually made me notice and want a Mini at first. But now it's not available anymore. The Double Spoke 534 wheels look really nice in your video. They are 7x18 ET54. I've only seen pictures until now, but feel quite confident that I'm going to like them :-) They go well with the car.

I agree mini owners are passionate and care a lot about there cars and the brand in general. You could retro fit the exhaust but I think it would invalidate your warranty so not worth doing. You will not it even so🙌

@@DamoDrives Yeah surprising that they took such a fun little option away, I guess it's something to do with emissions? I was told by MINI that the exhaust system in track mode fuel is injected somewhere into the system to produce the pops and bangs so it does effect mpg. Definitely worth it though, such a fun little car.

@DamoDrives

They don’t even have the normal pops and bangs on the cooper s or JCW and you are right it’s emissions. You can not fit an aftermarket exhaust either as it then effects your warranty but I think the benefits out way the cons of owning 1

Hello. Is the exhaust still available for 2019/2020 cars in UK? Using this exhaust is forbidden in Germany for cars built after November 2017. I just got me a 2016 hatch with the JCW pro exhaust and I can't wait to push it. I didn't know about the exhaust since I found a video on KZread by chance. I tried to get one for my JCW Clubman, but there's nothing comparable to this crazy thing.

This is not a 2019 mate. It is not even a LCI model (since it doesn't have the updated headlights, updated MINI logos and updated infotainment system)... Get your facts right! I'd say this is a 2018 that was produces just before the first LCI cars.
