Is anyone in this club still active in the Pensacola area? I have had my mini for a few years and just started getting into upgrading it. Would love to meet other owners and see what upgrades they have done/get some pointers.

Thanks

 

The Pensacola chapter of PHM is still going strong but I'm not sure who you would contact.

 

well then... I suppose I will sit here sending smoke signals until someone contacts me...

 

Welcome to the area. As sndwave said, check out the Panhandle MINIs chapter of sunshineminis.org. There's an attempt at a monthly drive/event, but interest ebbs and flows... Also stop by MINI of Pensacola to meet John and Bradford when you have time... both enthusiasts. Others on NAM in the P'cola area may have more info regarding your projects (talking about you, MinMin). I think MoP still hosts a 2nd-Sat-of-the-month AM get together for anyone interested, too.

Hey!
I live in Pensacola and own a MINI. There is a Barktoberfest on October 25th at Seville Square in downtown Pensacola. Even if you don't have have a dog it would be a good event to meet everyone!

Checkout the Mini of Pensacola Facebook page.

What year Mini do you have?

I have a 2007 JCW convertible and my wife has a 2013 hardtop.

'07 Lightening Blue Mini S here.

 

Awesome! Love the 2007s. Hope to see you at one of the events! Let me know if you have any questions about the events or upgrades.

 

Welcome

 

Welcome to the family! We are on our own site...

www.sunshineminis.org then go to the panhandle chapter to see whats new.

 

well I am getting an accessport and a water/meth kit by the end of the month and hoping to install, so any advice on that if someone has experience?

Otherwise, I need to get my tires aligned lol. Any recommendations in the Pensacola area that do a good job and don't break the bank?

 

I don't personally know of anyone with a water/meth kit. Let me know how it goes!

As for the regular maintenance on the MINIs, I take mine to Mini of Pensacola.

 

my past experience with MINI dealers is that they fleece the hell out of you on small services, charge at least $1000 on minor to moderate repairs, and find any excuse they can to show why something is your fault and therefore not under warranty... so I am a bit skeptical about taking it into the dealer for an alignment check.

That said, I will definitely keep people posted on the water/meth kit. It just seems like such a fun mod that I had to try it out for myself

 

First, you are dealing with BMW not MINI for maintenance. If your MINI is not under warranty why deal with them. Second, find a local person the has worked with MINI's before and give him/her a try. The cost should be less and service better dealing with someone one on one.

 

agreed. I used fairfield imports for my last maintenance work, and that was pretty good. cause a 3rd what another shop quoted me and solved the problem.
