Hello
I am glad I found this forum and joined this community.

I will by my first Mini hopefully bt the end of the month. I am looking at a second hand Mini Cooper S 2006 but I am not able to find any on-line brochure for the 2006. Can someone send me a copy or a scanned images?

I want to checked what was the basic options + the optional items available at that time. I only have a 2002 brochure and 2009-2010.

I hope the adjustable steering weel can move Up and Down and Also back and forth like the new models.

Finally, I do prefer the look of the 2006 and before versus the new bumper they introduce in 2007 and up. Is there significant advantages to go to models 2007 versus 2006? I know they replace the engine with a new model but is it a big plus?

I would love to buy a new 2010 but my job is at risk these days and I just turned 51 so I do not want to invest too much in a new car hoping a Used Mini with 38,000 Km will be as reliable as a new 2010 model.

Thanks for your help.

 

Can't help ya with the brochure, but just wanted to say...

 

Daniel,

Here is a link that details the the 2006 S model specifications: http://www.carsdirect.com/2006/mini/cooper_s/specs Also, go to www.motoringfile.com to read several articles that compare/contrast the 1st Gen (years through 2006) vs 2nd Gen (years 2007 & later). I hope you can realize your MINI dreams!

 

Daniel,

Here is another link for you that also shows the options available for the 2006 Mini Cooper S model: http://autos.msn.com/research/vip/Sp...d=110566#specs

 

Daniel,

One more link that lists the 2006 option packages for the S model: http://www.intellichoice.com/1-12-20...-packages.html OK, that is all from me; maybe others can point you to additional sources.

 

Sorry, only up and down steering wheel tilt for 2006.

The complete MINIUSA order sheet was on MotoringFile: http://www.motoringfile.com/2005/08/...s_order_sheet/. I think I have a copy on my home computer and I can check tonight. Bear in mind that Canadian options and packages may be different from the US.

 

Hello Capt'n Jack
Many many thanks for all your replies. I did find what I was looking for and much more!
As I can see you know well the Mini and all the lovely details.

I am ready to buy my used Mini-next 2006. I just need to do a road test and negociate the price at the dealer!
This Mini was built in April 2006. Can I assumed that they have fixed some little bugs that happens in early models 2006?
Thanks again for all your replies.

Hi,
I can help you on this.
I have a FULL DEALERS BINDER for MINI COOPER (S) for 2005/2006 model year. It's ALL the specs and details regarding those models.
Heavy BINDER:




The only problem is that this is for MINI CANADA dealers. There should not be much difference on important things...

Due to it's size and weight the price shipped to USA would be $50 by Paypal.
Let me know by PM if interested.
Thanks.

 

Hello Tata,
Thanks for ther information. This Binder seems to have lots of details for sure.

I got a link from another member where I did find the information I was looking for.
Thanks for your help
