Hello to everyone! I tried to upload some pictures of my Mini Cooper SD R56 Midnight Black but i don't know why it doesn't work...
I will try again later

 

Here is my Cooper SD from Italy!

 

So beautiful!
Are your BBS Offset 35? They are 17x8? Thanks

 

Thank you, these are 17x7.5, ET35 Axis Klassics, not BBS.
I had 19" BBS LMs on my last show car... Spent a fortune on those wheels. I am happy with these though, just ordered different centercaps

 

Nice, what part of Italy? I spent more time in Italy last year than anywhere else. I worked in Pordenone, my wife's family is from Montella AV.
Good luck with your Mini

 

I'm from a city between Milan and Turin.
Very beautiful Pordenone! I've never been in Avellino but i know that Campania is so sunny and fantastic
And you where you live? I have been just in NY.

i'm going to buy a BBS Replica like yours, but i'm worried about ET 35 and "channel" of the wheels 7,5 (i don't know how do you said in the States), because i think that the wheel comes out from the shap of the car. In Italy could be illegal...I hope I explained, thank's

 

I am 10 minutes from NYC, I am in New Jersey. The wheels don't stick out on my car. One problem that I have is that when going around 100kph, and if you hit a big bump, the rear rubs a bit at the back wheels. It is very rare but it happens...
Last year I visited Udine, Trieste, Venice, Bologna, Verona, Treviso, Amalfi, Ravello etc... It was a good year, Italy is a beautiful country.
I will try to find you some pictures so you can see for yourself if the wheels stick out.

 

Thank you so much! Did you bought it on internet? How much did you paid?
Probably the problem could be about the suspension, what suspension do you have?

Wow you visited Italy a lot! I want to have a big travel in the US with my girlfriend next summer

 

Nice Mini SD!

 

Thank's
Your Cooper S is fantastic!

 

I'm planning on keeping it past the warranty... September 2016...then it's on to 300 HP....

 

Wow! It will be a bomb!

My warranty will stop in September 2015, then i will remove the DPF (it's so bad for my diesel engine) and i'll remap di ECU.
I hope it will be about 170/180 HP.

 

Its not midnight black but its still worth being loved! Lol

From Buffalo/Rochester, NY

 

What colour is it? Astro Black?

 

Yes, astro black metallic. It is a 2008

 

I think that it' sa beautiful colour astro black, but it's harder to combine with other colours

 

Oh I know it! Its either chrome, more black or checkered for me haha

 

Yes, i'm agree with you

 

Cool centers on those wheels!!!

 

Thanks! they are just OEM 17s, plasti dipped black then snapped the caps back on after drying

 

Can I join?

 

Personally, the best touch up paint I have ever used (including on my 2014 MCS midnight black) was bought from Dr. Colorchip. Very easily fills in the chips and scratches and with the blending solution/cloth you end up not being able to see what you repaired when done.

As for the plastic trim.......bought and used black WOW and that stuff puts everything else I have tried to shame. Repels water and dirt and makes the black plastic dark (better than new).

 

This is the most recent picture I have... just before I had to leave her w/ my parents while I move overseas.

 

Nice! Drilled rotors I see...what brakes and wheel sets are you running?
