Hey guys, Im Seth and I drive a 96 318ti. I currently live in Davenport but I will be moving to Des Moines in the fall. Im also apart of the Projekt German Auto Gruppe. Im not sure if any of you have heard of it but I know we had one MINI member at one point. Well I joined here because the 318ti is on its way out and Im looking at the MCS as a possible replacement. Hopefully Ill be able to meet up with you guys sometime!

Here are a few pics of my car, hopefully the next pics I post will be of a MINI.... Enjoy-

 

Thanks for posting. Let us know how the MINI shopping experience goes. If you're weighing options and want recommendations, there's absolutely no lack of folks on NAM willing to give you their $0.02!

 

There's a guy in Des Moines who has a MINI that he brought over from Germany. Just a fun fact. And, welcome to a soon-to-be MINI owner.

 

Nice, is there a pretty big following there too? Im gonna need some relief from the VAG guys sooner or later when Im over there.

 

Yes, there are lots of MINI people in the Des Moines area. I will send you a link to a site where they hang out, but you'll want to keep in close contact with the EIM people, too.

 

Definitely, Im moving to Des Moines to go to Drake, Ill still be back here for breaks and summers. So are there any EIM members here in the QC?

 

There are a couple in that area yeah

I am from the Iowa City area so as you drive thru keep an eye out there is more and more MINI's out here
