Hi! Im Danny and new to NAM and mini coopers Just bought a MCS, 07 through the auction. It has 15,000 miles and everything checked out at the vehicle inspection . It will be a daily driver for now. Any suggestions on upgrades? The color is a metallic grey w/ a black roof.
Thanks for any input, it's greatly appreciated

 

there are limitless amount of upgrades to do. its just up to what you want to do with it and far you want to take it?

and welcome to NAM

 

What would be the best one to start with? Exhaust,cold air, lighter wheels, chip...

 

I say CAI just cause its the cheapest bang for your buck

 

Thanks Achilles , is there a CAI that you would suggest?

 

Alta has amazing reviews. thats the first mod im getting right when my mini comes in

 

Welcome Danny!

 

welcome

 

Thank you

 

Thank you

 

Thanks!! I will check it out.

 

This my new fun!!!

 

If those are run-flat tires, exchanging them for performance tires would be my suggestion for first mod.

 

wuts the difference between the run flats and performance?? is it that noticeable?

 

Not so much difference in performance, but a BIG improvement in ride quality and noise levels with non-run flats. Glad I switched last year!

 

Hi!

 

HI?

 

I have heard nothing but bad about run flats!!!! These are 16" wheels and I'm going to buy some 17" and put non- run flats on those.. And take the 16" wheels and put some good non run- flat snow tires and have two sets for my mini.
Thanks for the suggestion!!

 

is there any place or website where i can trade in my runflats with rims for money or new performance tires with rims?

 

I concur, exchange the run-flats. I switched mine to 17" F1s, check to see if they fit your '07. I have an '05 MCS and man do those tires stick to the road!

 

You could always try Craigslist or Ebay, but then again, if a more knowledgeable MINI owner is looking for tires...it won't be run-flats.

 

i might just try selling them separately run flats by themselves and then the rims.. anyone know places that you sell some barely barely used tires.. ecxpet places like ebay or craigslist.. hate those places

 

Some places that you buy your rims and tires might give you a credit on the tires!!! It probably won't be as much as you would sell them for , but who knows. Most people use the 2 places listed above!! I say google it and you might find something local.

 

im doing so searching right now
