Hey all! I’m new here, 35 years old, and the manager of a moderate sized garage. I’ve been in love with the Mini Cooper as long as I can remember, and when it was redesigned I was excited to own one eventually. I’m planning on buying mine in 3 months, and am looking for some help in locating the best websites to source parts from for my mini beast. I saw the “sponsored” vendors, but maybe some can post where they shop at so I can start my grocery list of parts? Thanks in advance!

I was shopping at ECS Tuning, Way Motor Works, and Mini Mania before I knew they were Sponsor Vendors.

Great Sales and wide range of products from all three.

Motor On!

I try to buy from Detroit Tuned whenever possible (and economical). I also purchase from Way Motor Works and Helix.

Welcome and good luck on the hunt. We are always happy to help with parts and mods as we don't work on anything but MINI and have a full service shop so our advice is from real world use and installs.

Welcome, lots of good vendors on here. I would stay away from non-MINI centered parts sites as they tend to confuse the generations of MINI and have turbo MINI stuff mixed in with supercharged MINI stuff. Also, the vendors are on here to help.
