Well, It should be on its way soon. Just finished up the paperwork on Friday so the car has to be shipped over 1000 miles to me down in FL. I plan on modding it a bit. Blacking out all the chrome, Black stripes and possibly the Dinan ECU upgrade for an extra 40HP. The car has all my must haves. All4, Black headliner, JCW interior and manual. I wanted a 6speed paddle shift auto but they are impossible to find. scoured the country and could not find any. I also wanted used so I would take less if a hit $$. This was a Mini executive car. Can't wait to get it. I have not had a Mini since 03' and I loved that car. I recently grew up and sold my 14' Porsche C4S in manual. Felt selfish having it, My kids hated the back seat so it just sat there most of the time.. so I am upgrading the family boat and wanted to get a fun family car. Hopefully this fits the bill

 

Welcome to the forum .. and congrats on the new car ...

 

Thanks!

 

Congrats!

 

The CM has definitely fit my family's needs and my sports car enthusiast needs as well...

I have an 18 JCW, have taken the family to a ski/ snowboard vacation and I have also tossed it through the twisties with a huge smile on my face. They are great cars.

You also might consider an upgraded rear sway bar.

Enjoy!

 

Looks niiice! Enjoy.

 

Congrats car looks awesome.

I just did the same thing. Found a lightly used F60 Cooper S Countryman and had it shipped 1000km from Brisbane to Melbourne here in Australia!

I am thrilled with my purchase. Enjoy!

 

Should be a great car. Sounds like you searched hard and found the right deal on a car you'll enjoy. Nice.

 

Welcome - A bit of an upgrade from the '03 on creature comforts.
