Greetings! Long time NAM lurker, but now a proud owner and member

New to me 2010 Hot Chocolate Metallic Clubman S. I come from the VAG world, so very familiar with mod bugs across platforms. Previous cars: MK4 GTI, tuned B5 A4, tuned B6 A4, 8R Q5 2.0T Current car: 8R Q5 3.0T S-Line

Loving every moment of this car so far, although, sadly the car is only driven 1x a week. Still very excited to start a new venture!

Basic mods so far:
Black aero side scuttles with tinted amber side markers
Replaced all interior lights with LEDs
Osram LED front position lights
Blesk LED license plate blulbs
Ziza H8 Platinum White fog light bulbs
*happy to report no bulb errors with the above combination

Future mods:
Manic Stage I tune
Upgraded plugs (recommendations?)
M7 turbo heatshield

Happy to be here.. Looking forward to some fun modding and discovering information that resides in these forums. See ya!

 

Welcome to NAM and congratulations on the purchase. Looks very nice! I am here if you ever need anything. Enjoy!

 

Wow nice R55, thats super clean and the HC/HC is rare. Nice find.

 

Hi and welcome to the nam family!

 

Welcome.


Nice looking car.


Motor On!

 

Welcome and Congrats I always liked the Hot Chocolate and those seats are sweet. Let us know if we can help with your mods.

 

Welcome neighbor, and well done on getting the right color.

 

You found a beauty. Only driven once a week? Is that some kind of Jersey Mini restriction?

Drifted away from Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft but you've stayed within the German side of the auto industry family. You've just migrated from Wolfsburg down to Munich via Oxford, England. Nice triangulation. Congrats!
