Congrats on getting your car back to where it should be! I know that's a good feeling, and generally priceless. I just finished replacing this mess of parts on my '05 R53. Still trying to sort out a P1498 code, but driving it feels almost better than it did 11 years ago!

Its just one thing after another SUPRISE.... But finally the feeling, the handling , stiffness whipping around curves, its all worth it because the rubber and road feel is better than new, and rides the way it was meant too.
THANKS suspencer, Make sure you have a good mechanic. I give him stew and he takes care of my 03 S Cooper. Now why get a new car ? I still have about 200,000 miles to go, I might have to replace the supercharger, trans, and exhaust in the future.
