Hi Folks - I'm new here but been browsing around for quite some time now. I have a mean looking X5 that guzzles gas like crazy. I bought my wife a 2007 MINI COOPER S and immediatley feel in love.

About 30 minutes ago I was at the dealership shopping around for an 08' Cooper S. Until I saw in the corner of my eye....a CPO'ed 2006 Cooper S. Dark Silver/Black roof with the following options/packages:
- Premium Package
- Sport Package
- Cold Weather Package
- Convenience Package
- Leather: Lounge Carbon Black Seats
- Park Distance Control
- NAV System
- BlueTooth/IPOD
and many others....

20k miles, clean in and out - $28k out the door. I will take pics when it arrives in an hour!

Thanks for looking!!

In the meantime....a picture of my other beast.

 

Congratulations! Let the fun begin!

 

Congratulations!!! That X5 will be spending alot of time in the garage now while your motoring around in the MINI. Have Fun!

 

HA! - Thanks guys. I still need to learn the "linggo". I cant wait to start modding - might have to ask you guys for links on the best places to buy after market stuff(s). Pictures coming soon!

 

Congrats, and nice choice on the 06 "best of best" there's a lot of should I say discussions over the 06/07 with is better thing,but of course I'm biased. Best modding for $$$ in power are CAI, 15% reduction supercharger pulley, and catback exhaust. Handling is a larger rear sway 19mm is most popular for road use and light track, 22mm for more serious applications. H&R make a nice 19mm that doesn't ever squeak due to it's bushing compound ( had one on my 02 MCS). You may also want to consider lowering. Welcome to the forum, looking forward to seeing a pic of your new baby.

 

Sounds like one SWEEEEEEEEEEET MINI !!!

Welcome to NAM, welcome to the world of MINIs and may you have many Happy Motoring Miles.

By the way, I'm not sure which you'll enjoy more, the MINI, the Modding of the MINI, or talking to other MINIACs.

 

congrats and waiting for pics

 

Welcome to the wild, wacky and totally addictive world of MINI!

Medical Caution: Your face will hurt initially from incessant smiling!

I moved this here to General MINI talk because the subject is about both generations of MINIs.

Congrats, and enjoy both of your MINIs
