Everyone, meet Betsy.

2012 R58 MCS with a lot of goodies

I've had her since December and what a blast it's been. Never thought this car would be so much fun and it's completely stock!! Basically this is my first post and surely will not be my last as I do have plans for mods as soon as warranty runs out in Aug.
I'm getting used to the blind spots.. but I did have an unfortunate incident with a corner of wall about a month in to having the car :( ( thank God for insurance lol)
But that aside so far no regrets loving every minute with her.
Here are some quick pics of the car and I'll even put up one of my mishap so hopefully would be owners will learn from my mistake
Any advice would greatly appreciated as I am already learning a lot about what's out there for these wonderful machines











the mishap !!! ouch !!! did it ever hurt !!

Welcome to NAM, Anthony! Betsy is beautiful. Sorry to see your incident with the wall. The blind spots in it are definitely something you'll learn. I feel like it happens with any new car you get into. I really love the stripes on the roof and color scheme. Those black jack mirror caps are great.

 

Welcome. Nice looking ride. Enjoy.

 

Thank you for the welcome .. this site is great !!

 

Welcome. Nice R58, R58 Owner myself.

If you have any R58 questions let me know.

 

Thank you, yes I've seen pics of your car she's gorgeous. Questions I have plenty of lol I'm sure at some point I'll pick your brain
Right now I'm still deciding on a wheel set up

 

Thanks , appreciate it. I really like the white silver paint on the R58. That would have been my third choice when i was R58 JCW shopping.

Let me know. One thing is black wheels look good on the white silver. NM Engineering or OEM ?

 

I like the look of the NM wheels it's too bad that they only offer one style in 17".. I leaning towards a cross spoke design like the jcw wheels but I'm not looking to spend a fortune as the roads here in Quebec are notorious for potholes so I was trying to find something along the lines of a middle ground not too expensive but decent quality but in the event a wheels does get damaged I could replace it without too much of a sting to my wallet

 

Really nice car Anthony! Please follow this link to articles that pertain to upgrading and accessorising your R58, and let us know if we can help!

Hey thanks for the advice I'll check out the site for sure

 

Nice car. I love the color.

 

Thank you thank you... are you an r58 owner as well ?

 

No I have an r53.

 

Nice !!! That's what first got me hooked a a ride in a friend's r53

 

My friend has a 2012 r58. I like it. My wife wanted one but the blind spots scared her, so we got the r53 instead. I'm trying to get her to give me the car so I can do what I want to it but in order for that to happen I unfortunately have to buy her an audi.

 

Those blind spots are something you definitely need to be careful of lol take a look at my pics. I found the hard way... but she's all better now

Audi is not a bad trade off for the r53 just shop around for a good deal so you got some $$ left over for mods lol

 

Ya I saw your pics after the accident. That sucks. The good thing for me is that I'm lucky enough to have a friend that owns a body shop.

I've always liked Audi's but like you said, it's trying to find a good deal without breaking the bank.

 

I hear ya !! Good luck I hope you do find something so you can play with the Mini
