New cali owner
Hi all! I just bought my first Mini today...a 2003 Cooper S with 30k mi on it. It's in perfect condition and I'm pretty pumped to be part of the family now. Here she is in the garage of the previous owner when I picked it up...:-)

Welcome to NAM, Stephen. Congratulations on the purchase of your R53. Those are some seriously low miles and it looks to be in excellent condition. Any plans for it, mod and maintenance wise?

Thanks everybody! Yeah, I can't believe the mileage, either. Owned by a retired guy that always had it garaged....it was like a dream come true!
Of course, whenever I buy a car, I change all the fluids and do a full paint and engine detail to make it perfectly perfect...:-). I need to change out the stripes as the vinyl is just old and not perfect. After that, I'd like to do some minor performance things like a 15% sc pulley and intake...just a little wake up for her. This thing is so much fun to drive...glad to be here!

It is sooooo shocking to hear of 13 year old MINIs with such low miles! That is SUPER cool! Congrats on a great find! I've got the exact same color combo 2003 but it has just over 90K miles.
