I just could not help my self! I love the look with the areo kit. It is an 03 with the six speed, nav, two tone leather, cold weather package, and premium package (I think). It is unbelivable to me that a car that performs like this gets 30 mpg ( according to computer). Here she is with my e30. Any helpful coments are welcome. Anything I should do to either car?

 

Get rid of the E30. Put the windfall into the MINI. Pulley, intake, exhaust, tune, suspension.....

 

any interior pics

 

How much money do you have and how far down the rabbit hole do you want to go NoE30?

 

Welcome

 

Welcome to the forum NoE30!

 

Nice, love them both.
Welcome to NAM.

Only thing I can think of for you to do is......


Keep them

 

In terms of mods I was just wondering if there was a mod that was like a must have, sometimes for a specific car there is mod that makes a wold of diffrence.

I will post some interior pics later.

 

The one "must have" is a supercharger reduction pulley. Most bang-for-the-buck, and transforms the car.

Love the aero kit, but I am partial And nice E30 too!

 

welcome abaord! love the mirror caps

 

The other must have mod is the cold air intake. (I really miss the whine from my '06 )
It would be helpful if you would fill in your location in your User CP/Profile, then people can help you with where to find what you need. You don't have to put the actual city, you can just put the state or general region.

Here is an interior pic. I like the blue and black two tone, but I have always liked weird interior colors. I did not like the diamond plate floor mats but they are growing on me.

 

I have those diamond floor plates too. I do like them, but winter road salt from one's shoes will permanently tarnish them. I'm going to look for a way to brighten mine. Any suggestions?

I'd recommend a "tune up" kit that others have mentioned. Here's the kit I'm using: http://bit.ly/bs5HNA This plus a high-volume CAI and new cat-back pipes will help your R53 breath harder. These mods alone will put you near the 200WHP mark. Epic fun.

 

Love that car!
Aero Kit, Nav (oem shark fin) Antenna, Auxiliary Driving Lights and No Sun Roof.
Oh, and welcome to NAM

 

The blue/black interior has always been a favorite of mine. SO NICE!

 

i kinda like the blue look and yeah those mats will get dirty fast.. that clear is hard to stay clear

 

I'd switch to the black cocoa mats with blue dots.


Annette

 

is that the seat material?

 

No, that is the black and blue cocomats. I had the black and white ones in El Kabong for at least 4 years and they still looked pretty much like new. I was really peeved when I went to the wrecker yard to clean him out as realized they had NOT put a tarp over him like they said and the cocomats had been soaked and ruined by the time I got there. (We had a torrential storm 2 days after the accident so the mats were basically sitting in water for almost a week ).
Here is a pic of the black and white ones in El Kabong.

Thanks for all the nice coments! It does have a sunroof, Do any of you have the wind diverter for the sunroof? My last car had one and reduced the wind noise alot.

p.s. Where is the best place to get a nav update disc?
