Hello from Northern VA

Hi,

I am glad to join this community. I was active member of Roadfly, Bimmerpost, SiennaChat, and Acurazine, and now hopefully contributing member of this forum.

We have just purchased a nice CPO 2014 Cooper S in Moonwalk Gray. I have already learned so much from this community.

Thank you.

Local dealers did not have the color and options I was looking for. I ended up taking a train up to Philadelphia and had the nice lady pick me up from Mini of Mt. Laurel in NJ.

DC here (although the car still has VA temp plates)

Congrats. I looked at a similar coloured one at a Northern VA dealer. Yours looks much better, esp with those black wheels. Blacked out mirrors and black wheels you might as well black out the grill and the headlight/tail light surrounds. lol


edit - teh one I looked at was thunder grey. Yours looks much more striking

Thank you for the warm welcome. CPO came loaded including HUD, Navigation, and XL screen. But it didn't have the LED lights. So here is a write up on my first mod.

F56 Headlight, fog light, and DRL bulb replacement

When was the last time you visited because DC has changed considerably in the last couple of years. For example Sursum Corda is now called NoMa and Trinidad is considered a hot new neighbourhood
