New guy here

Hey everybody, I just picked up a 2012 clubman s and have been very happy with it so far aside from a few small things. I’m still learning about these cars and find them very interesting. I’ll try not to ask too many ridiculous questions too lol. I can’t wait to start making it my own if ya know what I mean. I dropped a couple of pics of the ride below too. Anyway, just thought I’d swing by and say hi to everybody. Catch y’all later .

Nice, very rare to see an ICE Blue MINI, let alone in the R55. Very rare.

Thanks, I didn’t realize it was such a unique combo. That’s good though cause it’ll match me even more lol. I got linked to the ecs site the other day for some clips to reattach the hood trim piece that has come loose in the middle which I need to get fixed. I’d really like to get a set of wheels too. I like the idea of white wheels but I’ve noticed it throws off a lot of brake dust so I may go with black. I got a free Alexa echo auto that I think is going to solve my Bluetooth issue for awhile. All that’s left after that is to get a tach mount for my phone and I’ll be set I think.

Soooooo, a bit of update. I think my hpfp may be going out. Went to start the car this morning for the first time in a couple of days and it was missing horribly along with the exhaust popping and the check engine light came on. After a little bit it straightened itself out and hasn’t had a problem since. I’ve been checking online and that seems to be the most likely culprit. Luckily I found the tsb on it and I’m still a good 2 yrs/18k miles out from expiration so hopefully it’ll just die so it can be fixed lol. Yay I guess?? 🤷🏻‍♂️

What a nice looking clubby s you got there. Lovin my 09 clubby s everyday I drive it. Feel free to ask someone will answer, i’ve tossed a little dough and busted a knuckle or 2 over the past 4 months, on mine. Been down the Dragon the past 2 weekends with no issues other than typical oil burn and that’s driving down from Cincinnati.
