bliss.. pure bliss.. zero regrets.. prob has used about a total of 5 quarts of oil since day one. some def rattles come and go but.. unicorn MINI imo.. we just need to wait until 2023.. however, every day I talk w/other MINI owners they do mention the rarity of our MINIs.. lastly.. was only R58 at our meetup of 44+ minis.. heres a video of most of them at one of our stops..

 

I belong to Minis of Maine and so far I have been the only r58 I have seen on every rally I have been to.

 

Yep, pretty rare, at most MINI meets i have the only R58 around.

 

I am curious about the coupe groupe you mentioned on facebook.My only concern is what do we buy after this? This is the coolest 2 seater with front wheel drive there is,.

 

I am asking myself the same question. I never keep my cars more than 3 years from new but I really like this one and I think the overall design is aging very well.

 

I just bought mine in January with 51,000 miles I bought the extended warranty, I've only had minor issues but it never left stranded. I have a 2013 coupe S I didnt get the navigation etc, I have the regular center spedo.I still love it I am going to another mini Rally in Maine this weekend I will be representing the R 58s lol.

 

Mine is still flawless in every way here after 57K but with "extremely" meticulous maintenance and never abused or modified from new.

I didn't get an extended warranty because I am well aware of what is still covered by OEM about critical engine components. I have a noisy turbo waste gate at cold start but it is covered up to 10Y/120K on N18 engines. I will not keep that long but at least, I have peace of mind.

 

Getting close to 100K here on mine. Going strong.

 

oddly i'm going to the exact opposite end of the MINI lineup to a 2020 JCW Countryman, Clyde. Life required ability to have 4 adults in vehicle.. gonna miss my bonnie! but can't wait for my Clyde, being built hopefully very soon since order was put in late Aug.

 

Still doing great with 49,800 miles. All stock. Having lots of fun!

 

Great job with the drone.

 

Are you getting the 300HP one, the ALL4? I might go that route with the JCW Clubman next. On a different note, I've seen 2 other JCW Coupes in my town (about 60,000) that are the same color as mine! And a Roadster. And one other Coupe.

 

as for your question... YES.. YES I AM!!!! hehe.. 2020 JCW Countryman ALL4 in Island Blue and Black Top and full chrome delete/blackout. Clyde was born on Monday, Sept 16th 2019.. now the worst part.. the wait..

future clyde but with no chrome...

 

How much was that bad boy, about $40k? My car was that much in 2014. I could probably live with one of those. Probably no rattles like my Coupe, ride not as harsh, adjustable dampers, HUD. What's not to like?

 

well... i tend to like checkboxes and option so.. total is over $50K.. but i also plan to hold onto this guy for atleast the next 10 years

 

We had a rebel green F60 JCW here for a show and it was near 50K.
