Hi everyone

Hey,

My first posting...got the car from Nynone4 (on this board). A fantastic vehicle and extremely well sorted by its prior owner. Kudos to him, I have yet to find a more meticulous and thorough owner. It truly was the ideal way to buy a car.

First of all, the handle; one of the first questions I was asked when I brought the car home. My neighbor asks me-"Wow, cool car. It's so small and cute. Is it electric?" Needless to say she is not a car person...

It has a 15% pulley, Magnaflow, Autopower cage, Kosei's, H&R's, NO sunroof, NO HID's and I couldn't be happier. Power and handling without the fat to boot. I am looking for camber plates, 2nd set of wheels w/ Khumo R-compounds, an oil can (fab one myself possibly?), and Schroth harnesses.

I live in the Philadelphia region. I'm of BMW E30 descent, and I still have my trusty '89 325iX which never lets me down. Moving into another BMW product, without having to buy a barge canal (all their new cars are too heavy and luxurious) is comforting. I also have an '02 Yamaha 600 YZF (not R6). Can never have too many toys...

The primary use will be occasional daily use but mostly SCCA Solo and track events.

Hello everyone!

Welcome!

I too came from a 325iX, may it rest in piece. Glad to hear your's is still goin strong

I'd be interested if your MINI becomes the daily driver, and the iX is given a break

Of course they are electric. How else would you plug in your iPod??
