I've been lurking on here for quite a few years, more than I care to admit!
However, the time has come and I finally pulled the trigger on a new to me 2011 Clubman S. I bought it in Kentucky and drover her back to KC.
It has the following features:
- White Silver w/ black roof
- Pano sunroof
- HID headlights and white turn signals
- 17" Pace Spoke wheels
- Roof rails
- Accessory Rubber mats
- Harmon Kardon speakers
- Mini Connected with Bluetooth
- Carbon Black Leatherette
- Heated seats
- Auto AC
- Piano Black trim
- 6 speed auto
Its got 58,000 miles and looks to have been well cared for. Every now and then I peek out to the driveway and double check that I really own a Mini! Had I bought one brand new back in the day I'd have this exact car... no joke! Its a dream come true; one thats been with me for a very long time!
Congrats OP, that's a nice Clubby! I can relate: I started lusting after MINIs when I first saw them stateside in '02 or '03, then finally got mine in '10. A long-held dream, finally realized, is pretty sweet.
I hope you have many miles of smiles...Happy Motoring!

I'm with you. I've wanted one since they first showed here in the US. I had a chance to buy one while I was still a single guy and passed. Next thing I know I've got a family and a MINI simply was not an option (I like the Countryman but didn't want an CUV). Now that my kids are older and I pretty much commute on my own (5 minutes to work) I could finally justify it. The only stipulation was it had to be an autotragic since my wife doesn't want to mess with a manual.
So far its been so much fun. Every now and then I catch myself looking out at the driveway and can't believe I have this car!
I'll post more pics as soon as I can wash it. We've had some crappy weather here lately.

Know what you mean. I still look out my front window and just marvel at the shiny Cooper S in the driveway. Don't think that's going to wear off anytime soon.
Congrats and welcome on the new R55. The 17" Pace spokes are a little rare , only seen those on a couple Clubmans.
I really like the 17" Pace spoke wheels and you really don't see many Clubmans with them. Ironically, a neighbor of mine has the same wheels on his. He has a dark silver/silver Clubman S. His car was bought in Germany while in the military. Its a US spec car though.
@ ECSTuning & Mini Mania-
I plan on using you guys for my Mini needs when the time comes. I plan on doing most the maintenance myself with the dealer or an indie handle the bigger jobs that may come up.
Thanks , I am here for you. Yea the Pace spoke are rare , there are two R55 with Pace spokes in the same neighborhood, very rare. You should get a pic of them together.
