Just purchased my first Mini, a black 2012 MCS Hardtop. Lurked for a couple of months - helped a lot while I was researching. Saw a couple others on the road today, but no waves.

Any Mini veteran tips always appreciated.

 

Welcome to NAM and congrats on your new MINI. Thanks for the pic right out of the gate but how about a little bigger view. Happy motoring and please don't forget to promote the MINI wave. Don't worry about those who don't, just keep on waving.

 

Hi and welcome to the NAM family, Trey!
Congrats on your awesome find!
You really latched onto a nice one! and one know to this site!

 

Depending on the miles keep a eye out for worn control arm bushings, leaking thermostat, and the cowls that butt up to the windshield (for rotten rubber)..... and have FUN driving it!

 

Welcome that is a good year. Important thing is the run premium fuel, and change the oil every 5k miles.
