Been a member lurking here for a few years and have finally gotten a Mini.

Pics below. So far it seems like a nice, well maintained specimen. In fact it has a few months of extended maintenance left. Only thing that hasn't been done recall-wise is the timing chain tensioner so I'll deal with that soon.

Gonna mod it lightly for moar awesome. Mostly tightening up the suspension. Doesn't seem like there's a good chip for the N14 though I could certainly be wrong on that.

 

Congrats! Looks good, now the fun begins as you make it yours!

When you say chip do you mean tuning? If that's what you are referring to I say just watch the classifieds for an Alta Access Port to pop up. Love mine and it came with a ton of maps to support my car as it gets modded further.
