Whats up Drivers! Just picked up my new (to me), used, 05 r53 mcs. I have dubbed him, the dark knight since he' s triple black, black trim, black paint, black interior...the 2nd r53 i've owned and I just keep falling deeper in love with this motor! Supercharger for the win! If your in the northside of Chicago and you see me, give me a wave!

Welcome and congrats. Don't forget to post up some pics of your new R53 .

 

Pics, pics, pics!!!, and welcome thedarkknight enjoy NAM

 

Welcome to NAM, thedarkknight and congrats on your new MINI. Where are the pics?

 

Sorry, hadn't figured yet out how to do the pic thing...

 

You new MINI looks fantastic, thedarkknight.

 

Love this beautiful lump, he's not perfect, need to source a few parts here and there without dropping stealership style money to get him to perfect. Anyone have a lead on driver door lock actuator, rear parcel shelf, and an air intake boot?

See you all out in the streets!

Happy motoring!

 

Looks nice, black on black.

Looks like front and rear badges need replaced. Hair drier or heat gun and some dental floss to peal it up then just line up the new ones and press down, they have little alignment pins. You can mark off the old ones with painter tape.

Thanks

 

I've purchase here and there from you when I used to run a c36 amg...that car was such giant pia...this car so much better.

Do NAM members get a discount on parts?

 

Thanks,

Glad you got the MINI.

Currently no NAM discounts. But does not hurt to ask.

Let me know if you need anything else. I am here to help.
