For anyone who didn't know, or cares, I bought a 2003 R50 in December, then got hit and it was totaled in January! Well, this past Friday I finally got a replacement and it's even better!!

2003 Mini Cooper S! I'm the 3rd owner, it's in great shape! 192k miles. Leather, heated seats, custom audio with Bluetooth, invidia exhaust from the headers back, reduced pulley, new tires. I love it!

New clutch, all maintenance done on time the entire life. The owner was STUPID meticulous about this car! His wife and him could not have kids so this was their baby!

Anyway, I'm glad to be back!

 

Looks clean, welcome back..

 

Awesome looks well cared for.

 

Looks good, man. I'm sure you'll be happy, especially since you now have an S.

 

Beautiful looking R53 !!

 

Sharp looking car! Like that color combo. Congrats.

 

Looks good and Congrats.....

However, the badging in the back looks way off.

 

I need that plate!

 

Thats looks very shape, lapis blue interior , nice find. The Cooper S logo on the hatch is very high up

 

I noticed that. I think they may be badges that the last owner added on his own, because I haven't seen the "S" on the badge in anything other than red before. I'm not sure.

 

Its might have been replaced or repainted on the trunk due to rust and then the Cooper S took the high road on the trunk

 

Nice and welcome back!

 

Looks super clean for that mileage. Glad they kept up on the maintenance. Looks like they took very good care of it. Is the hood scoop a metallic like blue or is it just a different color blue? I like it.
