New R56 owner/prestige experience

Hey guys and gals..newbie here.. i just a pre-owned 2007 Sparkling Silver Cooper with 10,800 miles last week. I traded in my 2008 Lancer for the Cooper, so far i think i've made the right decision, i made my decision based on the rising fuel costs... my Lancer's avg mpg was 25, with the Cooper i stay around 37!.. already got the mod bug, looking to get some rims, and other goodies.

Just wanted to give kudos to the guys at Prestige MINI specially Dan my MA and Dave. I would highly recommend this dealership to anyone, everyone there is just awesome.. plus you get free car washes for life!

I will be going to the Movie event next thursday, hopefully i'll see some of you there.

welcome aboard!

Prestige in NJ? nice looking service area.

justaCoopers are momentum cars. Out of the box, it's great for the street. careful suspension sorting will do wonders. Front camber can be adjusted to about negative 1 without aftermarket parts.

Motor on!

Congrats! I had a great experience over at Prestige myself and although I don't know Dan, Dave was certainly a pleasure to talk to. My SS/B MC gets off the boat on Saturday and I hope it looks as good as yours does! I actually saw your car there....did it have the cold weather package?
