intro

Hey guys,
Just picked up a chili red, fully loaded, 2005 Cooper S w/51k miles and I live in San Diego, Ca.
Im a former honda-nerd, having owned a couple integras and civics, and had owned an E36 Ti previously to this car.

Car is currently stock and wont be for long since i have so much fun driving it everyday. I lurk and search more than I tend to post.


Picture of my dad before driving it down from San Francisco to San Diego for me. Couldnt find a clean, low mileage, reasonably priced Cooper S in Socal.


Front end after washing and waxing. Chrome will most likely be plati-dipped black, too shiny for my tastes.

Past two cars:
1996 318ti


1995 GSR

Nice color choice. Are those mirrors stock or do they have chrome caps on them?

Welcome!
