Hello all I recently became the proud parent to brand new (to me! :P) 2007 Mini Cooper!! Well not me but my fioencee haha. She has wanted one forever and I was not upside down only nitro so I took her corolla and she got the Mini! There are some concerns like the built in gas pedal side foot warmer :P and it coming from the north east...(I'm in north TEXAS) so seeing the signs of road salt is a little alarming. Also getting a spare key disk thing is a priority (only got 1). we pulled the carfax and it was a one owner lease and everything was good on the report so my question after ALLLLL that is what are some things I need to look for just a general mantance also what are some performance things I can do that's not serious like adding a turbo. It's a 2007 Automatic Hardtop.

Thanks and i look forward to hearing from you all!
