Its time...

I've enjoyed my GP 1281 quite a bit over the past 1.5 yrs and truth be told, it is the BEST handling car I've ever owned. It reminds me of how my old E30 drove. That says a lot as I've owned E36 M3s, Z3MCoupes, numerous BMWs, and my M5. My love affair with Mini has to come to an end as I need to downsize to 2 cars and buy a larger family car. Wife's LSE is also going up forsale. We love our Mini's but unfortunately we both need full size cars.

I don't feel like stripping out all the mods and will sell as is as I believe I've only done tasteful mods that have enhanced the driving experience.

Mods:

1. MM Lower brace
2. M7 Strut bar

3. Dr. Obnoxious shift light
4. Auto window up
5. Parrot Asteroid with integrated BT phone and iPhone hookups + UNIKA Steering wheel controls
6. Duane Bier's Chili Red powder coated rear lower arm links
7. Pioneer 250W amp and 10" sub box
8. Chili Red shift ****
9. New GP hood stickers
10. MM Oil catch can
11. 55W 6000k HIDs
12. RMW Custom Dyno tuned by the maestro Jan himself @ 219whp and 185wtq (will include dyno sheet)
13. JCW Alcantara/Leather Steering wheel
14. Scan Guage II


Miles 35,xxx
Front brakes just done with GP pads
BMW factory tech maintained using BMW parts/filters/oil
NGK Iridium Spark plugs
Aligned by Darin @ West End Alignment

Looking to get $25,500 and will throw in R113 Burnished spoke with Red Stripe with 75% tread on the SDrives Yokos (looks better than the stock GP 4 spokes - also included in asking price). If you don't want the rims, deduct $1,500 = $24,000. All books and manuals included.

The GP is extremely quick. It feels faster than my M5 off the line and is VERY fun to zip around town. I have not lost to any cars who've wanted to run on the fwy hahahah. This thing is FAST!!!

Please email @ mfnatik@gmaildotcom me or reply to this post. I'm obviously a BMW enthusiast and take very good care of my cars. It pains me to sell the GP b/c I've put a lot of time and money into to make it my own fun car, but its time to pass it along to a new owner to enjoy.

Will post pics up shortly

Priced to sell $21,500 (items in red sold already)

Bummer indeed as I was planning on keeping her but I don't drive it enough due to only having 2 seats that its time to mover her onto someone else who will get more use out of it. I need to post some pics too.

Pending sale!!! Got a potential backup buyer also. Had to take off the wheels and a few mods to lower the price tho. But still left a lot of the convenience mods.
