New To Me R56

Hi everyone,

I picked up a used 2012 Mini Cooper back in October. So far i've put in a K&N filter, done the air silencer mod, and installed new plugs. As soon as some parts come in I'll be doing the first oil change. This past weekend I had to replace the thermostat. Apparantly, this wasn't the first time this has been done since the old style pipe with the sensor in the elbow is still in place and the pipe to the water pump was missing the clip. I'm sure that I'll have many questions in the future.

Thanks,
Frank
