New 2013 MCS owner

Just picked up my 2013 MCS yesterday and loving it. Only 32,000 miles and in excellent condition. Eclipse Grey Metallic with JCW body kit. The mods begin.

Needed tires to pass inspection and bought Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ which are not run flat and what a difference. WOW!! If you haven't made the change to STD tires.....well, you should. What a difference.

Stripes this Sunday and then Intercooler, Exhaust and possibly intake. It already has a K & N panel filter.

Congrats! Eclipse Grey is the best color!

Good luck with it and enjoy the modding.

damn.... I thought Chili Red was the best color, but that is a FINE looking R56S. Treat it well.

Well....wasn't my first color choice, that probably would have been white, red or blue. I'm surprised there aren't more nice silvers. I'll make the Eclipse Grey work, trying first with these wheels but might get them powder coated black if I don't like the silver. Stripes can always be redone. I've wanted a Mini for several years but didn't want a nightmare. 13's seem to be pretty reliable, so now the mods begin.
