    As an owner of a quality R53, how long does it take to fall in love with a second gen MINI? I do like my car very much, but I am wondering if there is some sort of attachment that I can get to make the car whine like it should.

    It also doesn't pop and crackle so much that people stop and look.

    At the end, I do really like the car. I test drove a number of others (and my wife is on her second GTI) -- I don't think anyone makes a car like the R53 anymore.

    Get an aftermarket intake. The OEM one dampens all the turbo noises.

    Sadly, no. They join the ranks of many other instant 1st Gen classics.

    My wife is getting tired of my high pitch screaming when on the gas followed by farting noises as I slow down.

    An aftermarket intake may be good for my marriage.
