My Newer Addition - R56S

I picked up this very clean 2008 Cooper S about a month and a half ago. Thankfully it already has Cross Competition coilovers, BBS LM wheels, Resonator delete and muffler, K&N intake, and an unknown blow off valve. Since buying it, I've done an intercooler muffler delete, noise maker delete, and I've done all the basic maintenance as with any new old car. So far I love it and can't wait to do more to it!

Congrats and welcome.

If those are real BBS LM, you really scored. Sounds like you got some other goodies also.

They are genuine! I was very surprised. It’s got the original two piece hardware and all the engraving in the face and barrel. I was excited about the coilovers too. It was a good deal for all the goodies already there.

All that money I’ll be saving on mods can go to my Miata!

Welcome to NAM.

Are you aware of whether the timing guide chain was replaced? With that N14 engine remember to change the oil every 5,000 miles.

And the red color is not too bad as well.

Love the Red/White combo. It's as classy as it gets. LOVE the wheels! I prefer cars such as yours that are clean, crisp, classic, with a hint of something going on. The wheels and the stance make a huge but subtle difference.

Welcome to MINI world!
