Happy R59 S New Owner

Hello, I picked up a 2013 with 37k miles. Very happy so far. I'm is southwest Florida and had it checked out by MiniTech of Naples. www.mintechnaples.com , anyone else familiar with them? Great place.

I just installed an Alta intake and am looking around the forum for other upgrades. It's a fun car and I want to keep it as reliable as possible. I sure would like to get a little more exhaust sound out of it without breaking the back. Especially since it looks like you don't get much out of a catback alone.

I think the JB+ N18 is next on my list.

Great forum you have here! Cheers

Welcome! I purchased a 2014 R59 last Friday in almost the same spec as yours, mine just has different wheels.

Welcome that is a nice looking R59 and good low mileage find.

I've worked with Mintech before as they have gotten stuff from us many times and very nice. Let us know if we can help as we've built some great roadsters.
