In this video you see and hear the difference between the several driving modes of the MINI Cooper S F56 fitted with a Remus valvetronic sportexhaust, it still has the OEM downpipe in this video. As drive mode you can select GREEN, MID and Sport. As for the valve of the Remus exhaust you can choose closed, 10% opened, 50% opened or 100% opened.

I recently fitted the Goodridge brake lines, you can notice a slightly better brake-feeling.

Also I found an older video in my archive of the Remus V2 catback exhaust with the OEM downpipe, giving an idea of the sound on all different drive and valvetronic modes:

New update for the S; bought the steel brake lines from Goodridge.

Those will fit with the JCW brakes without the spacers. They are the same as shown at the photo where the brakes are installed.

I have the 17" wheels with ET 35 for the JCW brakes. I don't have the brakes yet, but those will come in the future!

And installation of the Fi downpipe:

Over the last year I changed a lot of things to my F56 S.

I've installed an ITG air filter, replaced the OEM exhaust for the Remus V2 Valvetronic exhaust, bit by bit de-chroming, installed the Remus Responder, switched to the 17" BBS SX wheels as wheels for the summer and recently installed a Fi (Frequency Intelligent Exhaust) catless downpipe.

In the next post more photos and videos!

Last year I finally bought a Cooper S. After owning a R50 one for two years, a R56 Cooper (Laurel Sport Edition) for two and a halve years it was time to move on.

My eye caught a good looking and well specced F56 Cooper S at my MINI dealer. The car in question is from 2014 in the color British Racing Green. After the test drive and the negotiatings (which included my R56) I decided to buy the car.

I arranged with the dealer to swap the rims from 18" to 17" black ones. As mentioned the car is finished in British Racing Green, with Dark Truffle leather sport seats and a Cottonwood dashboard.
