Hey guys, owned several E30 (non M3) E36, E46 M3s and never was in the market for a Mini. Long story short, I'm now the proud owner of an '02 MCS with 195whp worth of engine mods (and suspension, LSD to go with it). It's been two days but I love this car! (my other car is an E46 M3) and look forward to learning from and contributing to this forum. Cheers!

 

Congrats, and post up some pics when you can!

 

Thanks for the welcome!

 

Nice, that is a sharp looking ride, congrats!

 

nice car! post pics of the m3 too!

i'm another guy that started with the mini as a "side" car (other car is an '06 evo mr) and i've loved it too - so much that i ordered a brand new 2013 mini. you'll be surprised how quickly it can become the main focus though!

 

Thats funny-- I sold my 428 whp Evo 8 to buy the M3...

 

lol small world. i love my evo, it's a blast, but i think the mini handles better dynamically

 

I can't wait to explore my Mini dynamically!! Just got her. Here's my real honey:

 

I love her rear view but here she is head on

 

very nice! try using the [IMG]link[/IMG] code to embed the pictures
