Minicooper i really like minicooper but will it be safe and fastenough in motorway?
My Mini Cooper S CONVERTIBLE, brand new, had exactly 1/2 the insurance rate as my 6 year old hard topped Acura. Yes, it is safe. Airbags, dynamic stability control, roll bar, etc.
And that puppy is fast, take my word for it.
That said, what the guy before me said about buying a larger car holds true. I live in the Land of SUVs, the US. Many folks here don't seem to care much about gas mileage and pollution -- they think bigger is better and indulge in excess. OK, I have rejected that notion. I do so knowing that if I get in a head-on collision with an SUV or pickup, I'll die. However, I think this bigger is better nonsense has to go, and I am being a responsible citizen keeping my wants in check. So if you are looking for safest, buy an 18 wheeler to cart the kiddees to school. If you are looking for relative safety, understanding that bigger can kill, a Mini is a beautiful car.
Data:from year11/'06 , MiniCooper 1.6i with automatic transmission(120HP) Info: All E-Filters are round filters and all 33-Filters are square filters The K&N Filtercharger®A Revolution In Air Filter Technology - High Air Flow with Excellent Filtration - Designed to Increase Horsepower and Acceleration - Washable and Reusable - Will NOT Void Vehicle Warranty - Lasts up to 50,000 miles before cleaning is required depending on driving conditions - 10 Year / Million Mile Limited Warranty - Economical, a K&N Air Filter Will Last the Life of Your Automobile, Motorcycle, or ATV - Works with Original Equipment Manufacturer Vehicle Electronics - Environmentally Friendly, K&N Reusable Air Filters Reduce the Volume of Disposable Air Filters that end up in the Nations Landfills K&N:We Take Air Filters Seriously For over 30 years we ve manufactured serious air filters completely unlike traditional disposable filters. Our air filter is designed to achieve high, virtually unrestricted air flow while maintaining filtration levels critical to ensure long engine life. The secret to our success lies in the unique characteristics of our filter medium that was originally developed by K&N all those years ago in the dust, sweat and tears of desert motocross racing. We just wanted to win races and stumbled on a cotton filtration technology destined to be great. Our high flow cotton gauze air filter is washable, reusable and built to last for the life of an automotive engine. The filters consist of four to six sheets of cotton gauze layered between two sheets of aluminum wire mesh. This media is then pleated and oiled to enhance its filtering capabilities and overall performance. The result is an air filter that allows dramatically more air into an engine, is washable and reusable, and will protect your engine for the life of your vehicle.
Data:from year11/'06 ,MiniCooper 1.6iwith manual transmission(120HP) HORSEPOWER YOU CAN FEEL As with all K&N kits, when you bolt-on a 57i intake, you will notice the difference the next time you drive your vehicle. The 57i Gen I Intake Kits are a great way and in many cases the only way to maximize airflow and engine performance. They will replace the factory air box providing both High-Flow air filter technology and a larger air filter size. This winning combination will increase horsepower and sound great too. BREAK OUT OF THE FACTORY AIR BOX 57i Series Intake Kits are specifically designed for each different vehicle and will free your car from the size restriction that comes with the factory air box. These economical kits can take a variety of different forms based on vehicle characteristics and available space under the hood. Each kit is designed to provide power throughout the RPM range. Gen 2 s take advantage of the added airflow provided by an oversized air filter released from the restrictive factory air box. TECH TALK These kits bring engine airflow out of the factory box by providing a large size open-air conical or round High-Flow Air Filter. The extra surface area of these open-air air filters provide even more airflow at lower restriction than a K&N O/E replacement filter which is always limited to the size of the factory air box. The larger air filter also captures and holds more dirt increasing its service life before a cleaning is required (up to 100,000 miles). The filter is then either directly attached to the engine carburetor or throttle body or indirectly through a tube assembly running from the filter to the engine. All adaptors are made from high quality materials such as steel, aluminum, silicon or reinforced nylon and ensure long life. - Designed to increase HP and Acceleration - Engineered to Specific Vehicle Design - Easy to Install, Usually in 90 minutes or less! - Lasts up to 100,000 Miles Before Service is Required (depending on driving conditions) - Million Mile Limited Warranty - Replaces OEM Filter and Air Box - Air Filter is Washable and Reusable - Works with Original Equipment Manufacturer Computer Systems - Many European Applications include German TUV Approval
Daten: ab Baujahr 11/'06 , MiniCooper 1.6imit Automatikgetriebe (120PS) Info: Artikelnummern welche mit '33' anfangen sind Plattenfilter und mit 'E' sind Rundfilter Der K&N Tauschluftfilter: Eine Revolution der Filtertechnologie K&N ist der Erfinder und Hersteller des ORIGINALEN und immer noch besten auswasch- und wieder verwendbaren Hochleistungsluftfilter. Jeder Luftfilter ist fuer mehr Leistung und eine lebenslange Haltbarkeit entwickelt worden. Die Filterwirkung bleibt ueber den gesamten Zeitraum intakt. K&N gewaehrt eine 1.600.000 km Garantie auf jeden Luftfilter. Eine Reinigung des K&N Luftfilters ist meist nicht vor 80.000 km notwendig. Vertrauen auch Sie auf unsere 35 jaehrige Erfahrung. Wir bieten fuer fast alle PKWs und Gelaendewagen Luftfilter an. Kaufen Sie einen K&N Sportluftfilter und erfahren Sie den Unterschied. - 1 600 000 km Garantie - Leistungssteigernd - der hoehere Luftdurchlass fuehrt zu verbesserter Beschleunigung/Durchzug - 40% mehr Luftdurchlass - Motorsport erprobt - Weltweit die Nummer 1 im Motorsport - 100% Baumwolle, auswaschbar - Optimaler Motorschutz - K&N Filter wurden von neutralen Testinstitutionen geprueft und uebertreffen die von den Motorenherstellern geforderte Filterwirkung - Benzinsparend - der hoehere Luftdurchlass kann zu einer Reduzierung der Verbrauchswerte fuehren - Wartungskostensparend - es muss nicht bei jeder Inspektion ein neuer teurer Werks-Papierfilter gekauft werden - Umweltfreundlich - reduziert durch seine lange Nutzbarkeit den Abfall und schuetzt den Baumbestand Reinigung nur alle 80.000 bis 160.000 km Nie mehr Filterwechsel - das oelimpraegnierte Baumwollgewebe des Filters sorgt fuer eine wartungsfreie Lebensdauer, in der der Filter lediglich ab und zu gereinigt und wieder eingeoelt werden muss. Der Filter muss erst gereinigt werden, wenn sich eine 2-3 mm starke Schmutzschicht auf dem Filtermaterial gebildet hat. Kann ein K&N Tauschluftfilter die Motorleistung steigern? Ja er kann, denn durch den besseren Luftdurchsatz wird das Gemischvolumen schneller aufgebaut und zur Verfuegung gestellt. Der Motor reagiert spontaner beim Gasgeben und setzt die schnellere Fuellung der Zylinder in bessere Beschleunigung um. Zum anderen kann der K&N Filter oft Verluste ausgleichen, die durch komplizierte Luftzufuhrwege und Luftfilterkaesten entstehen, die meist ein Kompromiss zwischen Platzverhaeltnis und Effektivitaet sind. Deshalb solIten Sie zumindest einen optimalen Filter verwenden - eben einen K&N. Testversuche ergaben bei verschiedenen Fahrzeugen einen Leistungszuwachs von bis zu 5%. Wohlgemerkt: Dies ist keine zusaetzliche Leistung, sondern Leistung die bisher durch das unguenstige Ansaugsystem, bzw. durch den Papierfilter, brach lag.

So what does the "BMW" stand for?
Mr. Sandy Wong, 45, was sentenced in November in Edmonton, Alberta, to 90 days in jail for three counts of indecent exposure, including masturbating with his pants down while sitting on the roof of a BMW at a local agriculture fair. According to a psychiatrist, Wong said he is sexually attracted to the BMW's roof because "it's curved like a woman's body," but he also has been aroused by a 1967 Camaro, a 1965 Chevy Bel Air, a 2005 MiniCooper and a 1991 Buick Century.
