Hi everyone from Petaluma California

Hi everyone, brand new owner.
Just picked up a 2006 r53/mcs
6spd hardtop 29k miles car is perfect super clean. Weird color I don't see often. Basic car doesn't even have cruise control, only complain.
Thanks for the add hope to meet some cool people with great knowledge. Plan on making it an just daily driver occasional autox.

R53

Wow, great low mileage! I was happy to find my R53 with 79,000, so you definitely scored.

My room mate has a mini in highschool and he's lookin into buying one again, had a r50 and found replica of what he had today but r53 with 42k miles for 6500 seems like a great deal

That does sound like a really good deal. Guess it depends on how it was maintained. Keep us posted!

Royal gray is classy, yea no cruise sucks. I was confused when I realized mine didn't have it. I believe it can be retrofitted if you really want it.
Edit: can't be too basic with webspokes and either chrono or nav, can't tell which you have
