New 2006 S Hatchback R53 Owner

Hello from Cincinnati. Just traded a 2002 Honda RC51 for a 2006 Mini Cooper S Hatchback. 92000 miles but pretty clean and just a few dings. Had to get new third brake light, OEM stereo, rear license plate bracket. Runs like a champ. 1st Mini. Definitely fun to drive (6 speed manual)!

Hello from Cincinnati back at ya, and welcome to the club! I'm in Anderson myself with an '06 MCS. I'm at 145,00 miles now so I've gone through all the usual maintenance things you are about to discover. Drop me a line anytime. Great car!

Hi and welcome to nam. I feel the 06 is one of the best years and engines in Mini Coopers. The thing about Minis... you need to keep up on maintaining them. These cars are extremely fun to drive. Hardly a car out there that drives like these.
Congrats on your buy!

If not documented, wouldn't hurt to change out all fluids. Congrats on a great choice
