Hello...Just picked up this '05 R53 for $4000. 180k miles. No bullet holes from the I-10 shooter(s) .Only had it for a couple days, but already loving it.

 

Welcome to NAM!

 

Thanks!

Hello and welcome from Tucson. Very Nice!!

 

Welcome to NAM! I heard about that! My buddy's work is right by it and said they were back at it the other day! Scary. Congratulations on the purchase though. Anything done to it or any mod plans?

 

Thanks...Thankfully I don't have to take the 10 for anything, but its crazy for sure. No mods done to it that I can tell yet. Mods/upgrades to come for sure. Maintenance items first. Been reading up as much as possible the last couple days.

 

Thanks. I'll let you know, when the time comes.

 

Welcome

Looks like a hardtop, rare mini for a sunny state !

Would make a nice autoXer.

 

Thanks. By hardtop, you mean no sunroof? Definitely thinking of trying some autoX

 

BTW...Are these known to sag in the rear, or is it possible it has been lowered?

Yup the sunroof adds weight to the top of the mini and throws off the center of gravity. Your mini will have an advantage over mini's with sunroofs.

 

Thought that's what you meant. Thanks.

 

So, the A/C blows out of a vent on top of the dash when I have it selected to blow out front of dash...Is this normal operation? Does not seem to blow out hard enough to reach back seats no matter where I point it to. Trying to find the cabin air filter, but the links pointing to write-ups are dead.

We have a cabin air filter DIY here. If you need any other help with projects with your R53 be sure to check out our other tech articles here.

 

A/C quit yesterday. Parked, it wad working fine, get back in car, hot air only. Noticed compressor does not engage. Checked all the fuses/relay, all good. Bought a can of the freon to throw some in, hoping it'd work. Put the connector on, and the pressure shows good/to the high side.

Anyone have any ideas?


Thanks!
