Description:

For sale is a 2005 R53 Mini Cooper S in Hyper Blue over Lapis Blue “Gravity” full leather interior along with the desirable Chrono package and panoramic sunroof. I searched for about a year to find this exact combination in excellent shape as well as the facelifted model as these are the most reliable of the R53. It has been adult owned and maintained with regular 3-5k oil changes using Liqui-Moly 5w40 (currently MolyGen) and regular wash/wax/ceramic coat. The car has been well maintained and enthusiast owned its whole life, and shows with the condition and work performed. It has resided in the South since 2005 and has no rust whatsoever.

The car comes with full service records/receipts (over an inch thick), even down to the original window sticker from when it was ordered and purchased new in Miami, FL. I have been in contact with each of the previous owners and have been able to log all of the repairs and modifications made over its life. In addition to this, 2 keys, all owner’s manuals/books, and the original dealer installed roof rack system comes with the car (along with the NLA roof rack caps for running without the racks).

Everything on the car works and is in great condition. The panoramic sunroof opens up the interior and is a nice addition for mountain drives. The original dealer ordered and installed window tint is still on the car and looks great while blocking a majority of heat from entering. The leather seats are in great shape with regular Lexol conditioning to keep them supple and protected. The headliner has been recovered to a gray micro-suede which looks great paired with the sunroof. An auxiliary port has been added to the factory radio for a completely stock look in the timeless interior. WeatherTech rubber mats have been added for extra protection and the original floor mats are included as well.
