After a lot of searching and years of deliberating I finally pulled the trigger. I got a great deal I couldn't pass up. Many thanks to the forum for all the advice on plasti-dip. Worked like a charm.

 

NICE! A very successful hunt!

 

Congrats! Very nice car!!

 

very nice you're gonna love it!

 

Beautiful. Love the red accents!

 

schmexy.

 

Very sexy car. Joey mod the lights when you get the courage. Blackout the beltline from Outmotoring, check the red one out, a buddy has that on his JCW Clubman and it adds a different pop compared to my blacked out beltline on my R56.

 

Thanks for all the great comments. I appreciate the feedback. I was debating between red/black or black/red. I'm happy with my choice.

 

Nice looking car, congrats! Any performance mods on the car?...future?

 

congrats n welcome... nice car

 

No plans for performance mods yet. Too afraid to void the warranty. Any suggestions for mods (non-OEM) that won't void warranty?

 

I hear ya on the warranty. I'm doing a bunch of mods (when I get my car) on handling. Wheels,tires,rear swaybar,coilovers,and strut brace pretty much as soon as I get her. As far as performance, I will probably do a CAI, downpipes, and then exhaust. Doing those performance items shouldn't create a problem with warranty. Anything beyond those performance mods I will wait a good 5-8k miles before breaking into the engine/ECU. It's just usually the way I approach my mods. Since it already has great brakes, I probably will just put some SS lines, and upgrade rotors and pads for some track days.
In my approach, I know the JCW will not compete with some of the "sport" cars in 0-100, but it will beat most in handling, braking and fun factor.
I have a busy 1st week planned for MAKO

 

One more thing I did forgot that i will do in the first 6 months is a Intercooler...it does get a tad hot here in the summer.
