Happy new owner
Just saying hello to the community. I'm the proud new owner of a 2005 MINI Cooper S with a JCW motor swap. Very fun car to drive and a heck of a lot easier to drive and park in wonderful Seattle (unfortunately more parking, than driving these days) than my SAV. As you all know, but I'm just finding out now, these are amazingly fun little cars to drive. I'm still having a hard time adjusting to FWD after a 15+ years of RWD and AWD, but I should get better acquainted with it at the next BMW club track day in about a week.
2005 MINI Cooper S, 6sp MT, dark silver, Dinan CAI, 15% underdrive pulley, performance tune, etc. (all work done by prior owner, so I'm still learning it all).

Were their any owner-mods made or are you planning some? Mine came with cold-air intake and I'm adding Sprint Booster to start with.Here's a handy maintenance guide:
