2011 Mini Countryman

MINI Clubman StreetWorker by Schmidt Revolution

The MINI Clubman isn't a sight for sore eyes, but the folks at Schmidt Revolution have decided to try their luck with the Cooper XL.

Based on the Clubman S, the laughably named StreetWorker features a matt blue wrap, black accents, and 18-inch Cirrus wheels with Continental tires. Additionally, the company fitted a Streetec air suspension which can raise or lower the vehicle 40mm and 60mm, respectively.

Under the hood, the turbocharged 1.6-liter engine has been tuned to produce 200 hp (149 kW / 203 PS) and 250 Nm (184 lb-ft) of torque. This enables the car to hit a top speed of 220 km/h (137 mph).

MINI Paceman Concept for Production

One of our family favourites was the Mini Countryman. This was the stretched estate version of the classic salon shape. It also had the later 1275 Clubman style front. A lot of changes from the original, but it still somehow looked like a Mini.

Did we love our old Countryman because it was a nice looking car? Well, no not really. We loved it because unlike the saloon version, we could get some luggage in it and go away for the weekend in relative comfort.

The Managing director of BMW UK has stated that the group have seen both BMW and MINI brands outperforming the market this year on the back of a strong new product and a successful market introduction of the BMW 5 series, Scotland has been involved heavily with promotion and sales of the saloon as well as Touring models, the X1 and the MINI Countryman.

The upcoming Mini Countryman

I have always had a soft spot for the original design Mini. It played a part in my childhood and also my youth. Back in the 80's and 90's it seemed like almost everyone had one. Cheap, fun and good-looking little machines. I'd love to add reliable to that list, but they had various issues.

BMW Groups position within UK sales figures looks strong with further models coming into the mix and the increasing popularity of mini car deals, Scotland is adding massively to the sales figures and the BMW Group will be fulfilling their market demand in the lead up to the UK VAT change in January.

The main difference between the 2010 and 2009 Clubman is how the engine gets oxygen. The 2009 model has variable valve timing, or VVT engine and not turbocharged. The engine is still an I4 with 1.6 liters and a fully electric throttle. The VVT engine, however means that the oxygen is less compressed before it reaches the combustion chamber. This cuts down on this small car's "vroom" factor and lowers the reported gas mileage for city driving. The 2009 is rated to get 25 miles per gallon in the city.

Interior and Exterior:

One of the main advantages of Cooper Clubman over regular Mini is its rear seat legroom. Cooper Clubman's rear seat access doors are much easier to reach due to its position. Interior of this sedan is particularly larger for average adults. Luggage compartment of this car is quiet good and 50 percent larger than regular Mini car. However luggage space can be increased by folding rear seat. Like regular Mini car even Cooper Clubman is offered with retro inspired controls and oddly placed stereo control knobs have been rectified which presents attractive looks and easier operation. Some of the convenience features offered with this model are front console with storage compartment, rear and front cup holders. Manual rear seat easy entry, front seat back storage, electric speed proportion power steering and remote trunk release. Interior options available with 2011 Mini Cooper Clubman are cargo net, MINI connected navigation system, color rooster red interior trim, carbon black interior shade, Gravity leather, Punch leather, Lounge Leather and central arm rest.

The 2010 Mini Clubman is Affordable Compact Wagons.

The Clubman has all the features and design elements of the MINI Cooper, yet features a new rear-end design that adds extra overall room to the vehicle. The rear section and roof line have also been extended to allow for increased seating area and cargo space, something the classic MINI Cooper fell short on. The longer wheelbase on the Clubman also enhances high-speed stability for smoother rides.

New Mini Clubman

Inside the 2010 Clubman is a turbocharged 1.6 liter, I4 engine. This car mixes power with power with ease, as the car is started with a push of a button and the throttle is controlled entirely through the vehicle's electronic system. The transmission is a manual six speed Gertag. The turbocharged engine allows for a higher combustion rate, which increases your overall gas mileage. The reported miles per gallon for city driving is 26 and for highway driving it is 34.

Mini Clubman The Luxury Mini cars

In true Mini style, however, this car still tries hard to be fun. Those brilliant Mini genes, whilst not looking quite as tiny and cute, still lend themselves to a car that is nippy and quirky. If it is possible, the Mini is even more fun to drive now that you have air conditioning and a floor that won't threaten to fall out.

The engine in the 2010 model of the Mini Cooper Clubman is definitely an improvement from the model from 2009. While the differences are subtle, they serve to improve the vehicle's power and average city and highway gas mileage.

2010-2011 The Mini Clubman

The Mini as a brand has undergone a massive series of changes in the past few years. What was once a tiny iconic car, back in the swinging sixties, is now rebranded as a compact yet spacious supermini. This hatchback retains that same stylish and famous Mini shape whilst trying to add a hefty dose of modern features and easy comfort to make the ride a little less bumpy.

Mini Coopers are among the most stylish and customizable cars out there. And it doesn't hurt that it's from BMW. But impressive cars need to be accordingly accessorized and 'completed' with impressive accessories, right?

The Mini is known the world over to be chic and stylish all on its own. When you put a touch of your style and personality on it, that's when you need the best of the best accessories to aptly express your style. Among the many things to think about are the Mini Cooper floor mats you're going to install.

The 2010 Paris Motor Show (MINI Cooper brand)

The 2010 Paris Motor Show (MINI Cooper brand)

So when I first started doing research on this car, I didn't know that it was so old. Production on the Mini Cooper & Mini Rims began in 1959. It was manufactured by BMC (British Motor Company) & its successors. If you were to ask someone who just so happens to be British, they'll probably say (in a British accent, of course) that the Mini Cooper & it's Mini Cooper Wheels are somewhat the equivalent to the Volkswagen Beetle that we have here in the United States.. or North America.

The 2010 Paris Motor Show featured a number of interesting models, presenting the latest vehicles offered by European, Asian and American manufacturers as well as several concept designs. One concept present wasn't even a car, rather it was an electric scooter, designed for the niche MINI Cooper brand.

Mini Cooper S 2009 : Mini Sporty

With the support of the original accessory parts imported directly from England and the United States, the Mini Cooper look more sporty. Human complacency, is never-ending, even if what is desired has been established. Like Harry Sjamsudin, although already fulfilled his desire to have a Mini Cooper S type of output in 2009, he was not immediately satisfied with the standard display mounts.

Then, when the car was already in his grasp, RSI Motorsports garage owner was, immediately took him to the shop for additional accessories embellished. By embracing the concept of sporty elegance appropriate to form a terlilhat sporty Mini Cooper, Harry added accessories with plug and play system, so a touch of elegance combined with the aura spoty. "Because of that progress was not too long and not too difficult, because almost all the body kit directly applied, without changing its original form," explained Harry.

Modification
Harry admitted, the length of time working about two months, not because of difficulties in the application, but he must wait for shipment parts accessories directly imported from Texas, USA and England, such as mirror, foglamp and hood. Admittedly, the Mini Cooper accessories in the ground water is very limited. So should an order to the country of origin, or other countries.
Subsequent modifications continues to the interior sector, Harry is trying to provide the best for super-mini vehicles, namely by replacing the original seat of the Mini Cooper replaced with more color and shine compared to model genuine leather upholstery. "For the interior, seats and probably only just that I doortrim change, while others were still in the original design from the manufacturer," added Harry, who felt pity when the need to replace the original interior features of the Mini Cooper he saw was very sporty.

Down reluctant Contests
Vehicles for daily wear this does look different after modification. With a different view of this, many other relatives or friends suggested that his car was involved in the modification contests. However, Harry was never still and never even tempted. Even today, he remains reluctant to show off his car in the event of modification contest.

Settling a short amount of Harry is indeed unsatisfactory, because there are still some accessories that have not diaplikasikannya, because they still have to wait accessories come, himself may not have certainty when they could be accepted. "I'm still waiting for the black headlamp Edition Mini Cooper 50 years that I have a message from the UK," added Harry.

MINI Cooper R57 Cabriolet by AC Schnitzer

With the summer driving season just around the corner, AC Schnitzer has unveiled their new range of accessories for the MINI Cooper R57 Convertible.

On the performance side, the company offers an engine upgrade package which boosts the MINI Cooper S' 175 hp rating to 208 hp (226 hp for export models). Other "go faster" goodies include a limited slip differential, a height adjustable sports suspension, and an aluminum strut brace for the front axle.

In terms of styling, Schnitzer offers a sport exhaust system with chrome accents, several wheel and tire combinations, a new front spoiler, a sporty rear skirt, and a variety of different decal packages. Should owners feel obligated to spruce up the interior, the tuning firm also offers an aluminum gear knob and pedal set as well as several velour floor mats.

MINI Cooper Performance Upgrades by Hamann

In early 2007, BMW Group tuning specialist, Hamann, was quick to produce an aerodynamics styling kit for the new second generation R56 Mini, but took over a year and a half to complete the program with engine performance upgrades mainly consisting of reprogrammed ECUs.

Nonetheless, the Bosch Motrotnic ignition control unit has be remapped, and the 1.6-liter turbo engine in the Cooper S, which normally produces 175 hp / 128 kW, has been increased to 204 hp/ 150 kW at 5,500 r.p.m. and torque of 300 Nm at 1,600 – 5,000 rpm.

However, Hamann offers an even more powerful kit for the Cooper S. Called SPORTKIT CS 230, it adds on top of the ECU upgrade with an improved intercooler and sport muffler making 230hp / 169 kW at 6,050 r.p.m. and 330 Nm torque at 3,860 r.p.m. As a result, top speed increases to 238 km/h and 0-100 km/h increase by at least 0.5 seconds.

For the Cooper D which normally has 110 hp, it now makes 26hp / 20 kW more for a total of 136 hp / 100 kW at 4,000 r.p.m. and a maximum torque of a huge 300 Nm at 1,750 – 2,000 r.p.m.

Mini Clubman by AC Schnitzer

Despite being described by some as “everything you don't need”, the MINI Cooper S Clubman is certainly doing something right on the business end with the launch contributing to record sales for the MINI brand. But at 170hp, surely it is missing something. The John Cooper Works kit went some way to appeasing the power hungry consumers with a package boosting the power up to 211hp, but AC Schnitzer had other ideas with their own package which boosts the Clubman up to 226hp.

Hiding beneath the eye catching body kit which features a new front spoiler and a striking power dome is the 226hp/166KW AC Schnitzer tuned engine which develops up to 285nm of torque. But where there is power - there is noise. So to appease the neighbours, the famed BMW & Mini Tuner has fitted their twin sports rear silencer which plays its role in the orchestral masterpiece coming from chromed tailpipes. Driving performance is further enhanced with the AC Schnitzer spring kit and height-adjustable racing suspension

Optionally you can add the limited slip differential (up to maximum 75 percent) which ensures the raw power is applied to the right wheel through cornering rather than being lost through the exhaust.

The kit is completed with either 17'' or 18'' wheels, specially styled for the Mini.
