just picked up a clubbie!

Greetings from Wisconsin!

I was looking to replace my BMW with another 3 series when I saw a triple black clubman S sitting on the lot. Never driven one, I asked for the keys out of curiosity. An hour later they were prepping it for delivery. I've never received so many compliments on a new car before and the handling/mileage are way better than the 330.

It's a 2009 cooper clubman S with the sport and premium packages. It joins my wife's 2003 honda s2000, a factory five roadster (shelby kit) and the 330xi.

Better pics on the way...

Killer. Hoping to pick up a black clubbie for my wife next year after we pay off her Jeep Commander. She wants the third car in our fleet to be a black MINI.

Thanks! e46fanatics.com was a wonderful resource for modding and maintaining the bmw and I'm hoping NAM can do the same for the MINI.

As for mods, I'd love to put it in the weeds on coilovers, but keep the spring rates comparable to stock. Being able to adjust the ride height for winter is a must. The stock wheels will get snow tires so I'm on the hunt for the perfect wheel. suggestions?

Performance wise, I'll wait till the warranty runs out before put more boost to it.
