    I believe it is the same engine as the 2011 hatch, but not the same as the other 2nd Gen cars.

    That's a very good question Kyle. & one I don't have an answer for. I'd recommend calling Chad at Detroit Tuned. He is a very good tech on all things MINI.

    Most of the mods that work on the 2011 will also work on a Countryman, but some require modifications to make them work. More mods are in the works, it will just take some time of the cars being out.

    Do the simple ones first...Stubby Antenna, GOMINIGO Pulsating Third Brake Light, SS Exhaust Tips, and maybe a drop-in air filter panel like ITG...

    Maybe some exterior mods...stripes, tint...etc...

    I'm not going to do to much engine mods since I'm still under warranty...I'm still working on R52 mods currently.

    I pulled all my amber bulbs ...removed the amber coating with laquer thinner and put them back in. Instant clear bulbs.

    There are a few mods out there, and I'm itching to see more come (especially waiting for the ECU to open up). My current list of installed mods are:

    * Mini Do More hitch
    * VIP Custom Parts Air Intake
    * VIP Custom Parts Strut Bar
    * VIP Custom Parts Heat Shield
    * Deyolked front turn signals
    * Craven Speed stubby antennae
    * Mini Mud Flaps
    * Forge Blow Off Valve

    Planned (in the next week) are:
    * NM-Eng Torque Arm Bushings
    * VIP Custom Parts full exhaust
