Finally it is out! Already half a year ago we have in one Preview showed that the Japanese tuner Liberty Walk Performance diligently screwed on the BMW Mini R56 and tried to get the car in about as wide as he is too long. That is exactly what has been achieved and the box looks phenomenal thanks to the famous Breitbau body kit (set, screwed and riveted)! On big vehicles like that Dodge Challenger, the Nissan GT-R or even that Audi R8 we already know the attached body kit. But we have not yet seen a Liberty Walk conversion on a compact one, that will change with immediate effect because the body kit can now be officially ordered. But now to the vehicle ... As I said, a Mini Cooper R56 was used as the base vehicle for tuning.
After the tuning cure that the R56 was allowed to endure, it is now much more exciting, more individual and also more dynamic than the production version and should in fact be as wide as it is long. If you are thinking of buying a BMW Mini in the future or already own one, Liberty Walk Performance is definitely an interesting starting point when it comes to differentiating the vehicle from the production model. As for the changes made to the optics or the technology, we have already been able to find out the first details. As usual, we have listed what we know below in a summary. If you discover any further changes that we haven't listed, just use the comment box and let us know!
