My new FJCW!

Well I finally picked out a good one. 2009 factory jcw, all stock. I LOVE driving it. Can't wait to wax and take some pictures! Just turned over 48k miles.

Thanks guys! I traded in my 2004 mach1 mustang for this. Couldn't use the power at all. The mini is such a better daily driver too. Taking it into mini tomorrow to have an inspection, turbo heat shield recall and replace the cowling on the bottom of the windshield. My front brakes are squealing. Anyone have some good recommendation for front pads and rotors for the 09 jcw brakes? I don't do any track driving or anything.

Yeah, that squealing is kinda normal with BMW/Mini brakes. Since you aren't track driving or anything, I'd recommend the Hawk HPS street brake pads. They run pretty clean and don't squeal.
