Back to owning a Mini!

Used to have an 04 mc40 and last week I found a 2006 r53, factory jcw, space blue (same color slicktop roof) with english panther black leather seats. All records, completely stock, and only 39k miles. Glad to have one again. Let the mods begin

My 04 mc40 had a dealer installed jcw package that didn't even include the airbox. This 06 has the brakes and lsd. Happy to be back!

Congrats that is a perfect packaged car in my opinion and super low mileage.

Thanks guys! Definitely happy to have an r53 again. One thing I wanted to do right away was to get rid of those runflats. I may end using the s-heavies for winter tires (although winter here is not real winter). It may need to be lowered a bit I'm really liking the space blue.
