So i've been lurking around NAM for over almost two years now while I had my indi blue 04 CVT R50. But sadly, about a month ago the dealer informed me that the transmission was on its last legs so it was time for an upgrade. I knew that the only route was a Mini so in memory of "Sonic" I ended up getting an 09 r56 in lightning blue. ( The closest to indi blue.)

Specs:
Lightning Blue
09 R56 S
Convinience Package
Carbon Punch Leather
Piano Black Dash
Cream Color Line
DIY Hot Air Intake
Resonator Removed
Automatic Transmission
Premium Package
R99 Wheels ( LOOKING TO TRADE THESE FOR ANYONE WITH JCW OR 17/18"WHEELS PM ME IF YOU ARE INTERESTED)

Pics:
Let me know what you guys think of both cars

MY NEW BABY







Lastly in honor of Sonic even though he's a R50
just a couple pics





Thanks for Looking
Opinions would be great!

 

The new R56 looks great! I also like those wheels, not sure if I would trade them unless you just want something lighter. Like the look of the exhaust tips too. Are these custom due to the removal of the resonator?

 

I really like your R50, but with a CVT on it's last legs, well I understand. Your new one looks nice too. I like the wheels you have.

 

Oh wow! They both look absolutely fantastic Great choice!

I love the name of your old one, too, haha -- Sonic.
I don't know if you made the name on purpose, but I'm actually quite the Sonic the Hedgehog fan... hahaha. :-p

 

Looks awesome. Always wondered why have auto on a mini though, but to each his own.
