Living on the cost of SC demands a fun convertible to drive. For the last 5 years I've had a 92 BMW 325iC that I've enjoyed but a good friend had a 2005 Chili Red Convertible Mini that was his toy. He drove it sparingly and garaged it always. He finally decided he wanted a Z4 so I bought the Mini. 28K miles on a 2005! It looks new inside and out. I move from an auto trans and a manual top to a manual trans and auto top plus about 10 more MPG. Driving more with the top down than up now! I like to get my hands dirty on occasion (had to with the 92 Bimmer). I've added stripes to the bonnet myself to see if this is the direction I want to go ($9 clearance item and an hour of time) and I swapped the TSW Kyalami wheels from one side of the bimmer to see if I might want to keep these when I sell it. What do you think?

 

Welcome to NAM and congrats on your new MINI. I'm sure you will get a great deal of enjoyment out of driving with miles of head room. Thanks for including photos. It looks well taken care of. Enjoy.

 

Welcome from Savannah!!! Love the color.

Motor On!

 

I'm def a fan of those wheels from your Bimmer. I lived in Mt. Pleasant for 3 years- just moved to the Upstate a few months ago but still go to CHS every month so make sure you give a wave to the PW/B R53 with viper stripes.

 

Greetings from the Upstate!
