As the title states, I'm a first time Mini owner. Residing on the MA/RI line. Purchased an 09 Clubman S back in September and got to enjoy this last record breaking winter in my first ever 6 speed lol. One previous owner, sitting at 68k when I bought her and 77k currently. In the short amount of time since purchase I've put in a K&N open intake w/ heat shield and put some nice 17' Sparco wheels on.

Nice wheels! It's a super fun car. Love my 09 S too.

Please be sure to keep an eye on the engine's oil level. I suggest checking it every fill up until you get a sense of how quickly it consumes oil. (Or you may have lucked out.)

Next suggested mods: stiffer rear sway bar will transform handling. Also at this age the shocks are probably quite far gone. Consider replacing them; Koni Yellows are good if you plan to lower, and Koni FSD's are just fantastic if you plan to stay at stock height. If you catch Koni's annual sale you can do all for for under $700.

 

Welcome to NAM! Love the colors and those wheels are awesome!

Nice looking Clubman! Congrats!

 

Thanks guys! @bratling The suspension is still solid. Especially compared how soft my previous car's was (vw jetta). My friend has blown struts in her mazda3, its like being in a bouncy house lol.

 

Nice! Congrats!
