well, i am happy for you, but i am sad to see you leave the wonderful community of mini owners. so there are 2 of us left, and i'm now the only one with an S.
Honor. Courage. Commitment. Etcetera.

lower fuel consumption will most likely occur if you would drive the tuned version in exactly the same "normal" way as the non-tuned version. Asking for the added power permanently will see an increase...
and I just quoted the first site I came across, there are many more options...

Congrats Albert.
Do you make long distances now?
With the petrol prices in Spain, it's not an obvious choice unless you really travel a lot.
It's a very nice car.
Money can't buy you friends, but you do get a better class of enemy.
Switchable from inside the car IIRC?
Albert, you might want to consider an ECU remap as Pieter recommends. They are very worthwhile: More MPG (seriously), BHP and lbs/ft, as well as a better spread of that power and torque. It should help to recover some of the driveability that you seem to think you've lost in the transition from the Mini. - and don't forget: You have RWD now .
44k miles in three years actually isn't a lot. Nevertheless, you'll see the benefits of a diesel - so long as the servicing costs aren't as ridiculously high as the Mini One D's my family have.

Yup there's a little button under the radio.
Rear drive. That has been the big change. Yesterday I took the car to Montjuïc, to test the handling a bit and the first thing you notice is how nice the steering is. Unlike the Mini's it's not upset by the power or anything. I was a bit worried because those new BMW's have electric power steering and I thought that would ruin the feel, but I'm happy to report that this isn't the case. It's not as good as the Mini in that aspect but much better than anything Audi can manage that's for sure. It's a very balanced car, this. You can feel in the corners how if you press the throttle it doesn't go wide as the Mini did. The longer wheelbase makes it less agile in the corners but less frantic too. The Mini was a riot, this while not achieving Mini's level can be fun too, but then when you want to relax it can play those cards well too.
Oh and in case you were wondering, yes it can go sideways (Previous disengagement of the DTC ).
Lack of charisma can be fatal.
Visca Catalunya!
Aggreed, the A6 is at 38,000mi in just over 2yrs
but the Mazda is at 42,000mi in almost 15yrs
What milage has your yellow Mini done, something ridiculous wasn't it?
My mates Step-Dad covered 35,000mi in one year in a brand new Toyota Verso 2.2D-4D, and he's just added another 35,000mi to a 3yr old 320d
How does this 'StopStart' thing work exactly..?

So...how does the thing sound on start-up? Does it sound like a truck or more like a gasoline-burning engine?
I've heard it sounds more like the latter now on cars like the Bluetec E320.
I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.
