Hey everyone, thought I would re-introduce myself. I say "re" because my wife and I almost bought a Mini a couple years ago and I spent a lot of time on the site. We got blindsided by a major move shortly thereafter and it never happened; but we're back! We're going to go shopping south of the border this week to pick up an MCS. We're looking at '05/'06 MCS's, we drove a few '05's and '07's today and prefer the previous engine.

I'm own & operate a professional detailing business in the GTA, and she works in the music industry. I am sure I will spend a lot of time here; I've modded the snot out of my current car (http://gtaindetail.com/fp/335i/kevin/bethpics/5.jpg) and expect I will do the same to the Mini, despite trying not to.

So, where do I buy parts for this thing? :p

 

OMG!! your BMW is beautiful!!! i loves it!!! sorry i cant answer your question about where to buy parts for the mini. i dont have one....yet! i just wanted to tell you your BMW is beautiful. and welcome again to NAM.

 

Thanks! I'm totally in love with my car, best I've owned by far.

 

first place for information about toronto MINIs check out www.somc.on.ca, southern ontario owners congregate there

parts? locally try coopersport.ca, they can get you most basic parts

welcome to Nam! ill be seeing more of your new car i guess here!
and i can say with some confidence... im an amateur detailer too

 

Welcome back!

You have one of the most striking recent BMW's I have seen...

 

Are you on any detailing forums, autopia, detail university, etc?


Thanks!

Well, car is purchased. I am flying to New Jersey to pick it up tomorrow!
