Re: My Mini Cooper Countryman SD - The Grumpy Kid from Great Britain

Many congratulations Aditya. Your car looks even more awesome after the wheel upgrade.
Especially love the super cool interiors and the union jack taillights.

Mini makes similar Union Jack ORVM covers as well. Do check it out. Should look look nice.
Also how about debugging the rear, just leaving it Mini and Countryman. Can remove Cooper SD. Will look clean.

Personally, avoid the tyre stickers. They get black and dirty with time, and cleaning options are limited. Also once you get bored of them, it is literally impossible to remove them from the tyre. So bad, that the tyre rubber peels off with it as well. Seen it with a few cases here in Calcutta, who sourced these stickers from reputed places around the country.

Servicing/Maintenance to be done by the Patna BMW dealer?

Congrats on the acquisition. This blue suits the characteristics of the car so well. Those alloys.

Hey, Congrats
Have you considered getting one of those MINI LED Aux Lights in the front? Really would complete the looks of the car. Expensive but worth it I feel

Thanks bro! That's enough for the tyre stickers idea to be dropped, you know how much you opinion matters after all. The service would be done by OSL Kolkata mostly. I usually don't miss on excuses to visit the city of joy

I had almost placed an order for them but then I felt the vehicle is too soft / less mature to pull it off. I'm waiting for the new Thar hoping they launch it with better build quality, saving the aux lights desire for that

I paid the booking for a Mini Cooper Countryman JCW and changed it for a 3 Series GT but drove out a G20, 330i M Sport

So the only thing that went according to the plan in your case was the B47 2.0 engine

G20 Uses a B48D, although I don't know what the big difference would be from the B47. From what I can remember the twin turbo for the B48D vs the twin scroll turbo of the B47?

Re: My Mini Cooper Countryman SD - The Grumpy Kid from Great Britain

Absolutely fair decision on changing the alloys there buddy it was an eyesore to say the least to see such a grand car having a thick 5 spoke alloy!

Your car looks absolutely great and my favorite click is from the rear where the car is parked sporting its sexy tail lights!

Wishing you happy miles and stay safe!

Regards
