My wife's R56 got a new set of CF mirror caps.
I got a new-to-me factory JCW. I pick it up tomorrow...
By 2pm tomorrow, we'll be a 3 MINI family...

MiniMe's Christmas Gifts

For Christmas, my MINI received an Alta intake with hose, rubber mats with "S" logos, mud flaps, some stickers and an 8 ball antenna thingie. Oh, and a pepper white owner's club polo shirt so I can be like an old man.

Installed the CAI tonight and was getting EML and check engine lights and kept choking out... realized I didn't plug power back up to the throttle body- Doh! That said, it screams and I love it.

NCSExpert & Cable. Well, my brother got me that, and the MINI got some new programming options this afternoon!

Alarm flash when locked, close windows & sunroof with FOB, no more seatbelt chimes, or door chimes, running lights are now the city lights, fogs stay on with the hibeams, speed over-estimation is gone, speed is locked in the upper digital window, opening the doors no longer interrups the auto windows, doors auto UNlock, and one-touch sunroof open & close is activated.

All in all, a good day!
