Drove a buddies R56 JCW a few years ago and fell in love with it. So I had been semi looking for a mini of my own since. A co-worker was complaining his r53 was acting up and had a check engine and after some small talk he decided he didnt want to deal with it and sold it to me for pennies. I picked it up and threw a new TB and Cam sensor on it to clear the codes and $1k all in its my new daily driver.
