New Mini Clubman Owner - Seattle

Hey All, I recently picked up an '09 dark gray Mini Clubman S. Its my first venture into the Mini world, and at the price I was able to get it for, I had to jump.

Pros: The body, both interior and exterior are in great condition. There are small dings from road driving but thats about it. All doors/latches and switches work perfectly with nothing getting stuck. Sunroof and windows open great, and

Cons: The motor...When I started it up, it sounded like a small diesel truck. It was throwing a CEL, and running the codes all cylinders were misfiring with other O2 sensor errors.

So far since owning it, I changed the oil, ordered some new coil packs(since the wrong ones were on the car) and will change the plugs and add those when they get here.

With those issues being there i'm still amped to own it, and cannot wait to get it on the road and drivable.
