Thanks NAM for the helpful posts, write ups, picture sharing, and theatrical online debates that have kept me entertained for the last 3 years.


Unfortunately, I had to get rid of my R56S this past Saturday and so have moved on! During the last 3 years, I only had one issue which was addressed under warranty. That being said, the next 44,400 miles was trouble-free. Some (maybe many) of you may disapprove of this, but all maintenance done on the vehicle was per the OBC. Perhaps, this is a warning for the next person who is looking to buy her LOL. In all seriousness, she ran well and never had any issues other than the initial issue I stated above. I hope whoever picks her up that she will fare well with the new owner and beyond.


I'll surely miss the go kart feel, the harsh ride of the run-flats, the pop pop exhaust sound, and most of all the turbo!!!!!! (and maybe my tints and xenons I put on too)


See ya!


P.S. Anyone looking for CooperS All Weather floormats (front only) or R56 OEM headlights, let me know.

 

are the oem headlights black? if so I am interested

 

Nope, not black.

 

I might be interested in the headlights. Any fading, scratches on lenses, or broken pieces? Can you send a few pics?

 

What car did you replace it with?

 

Hey there renchjeep. Sorry about the late reply, got a bit busy here with the holidays.

Here are links to the headlight pics. No scratches, fading, or broken pieces. I bought the OEM xenon retrofit kit and removed these. Everything is in tact.

 

Karl - I might get frowned upon by the community here if I disclosed what I replaced my R56 with

 

Who cares, they'll get over it. Lets hear it.

 

this will be the 5th person in 10 days ive seen going away from MINI
(Others for GTI's, and 3 series)

 

Could be a sign of things to come !

Karl - I went back to a Subie. Truth is, I needed a car better suited to accept an infant car seat without having to twist and turn too much every time I have to put the carrier in and take it out.
