Found my R56 in Atlanta, drive it home to Houston

Finally bought my first Mini. 2012 MCS with JCW kit. Car came with a bunch of mods. I actually found this car at a Nissan dealership. Normally, I probably would not buy a modded car from a dealership in a different state. Thankfully my sister lives in Atlanta. She went by, we Facetimed, and looked it over. Went ahead and bought it. Drove the car home, feels well sorted.

Any chance the previous owner is here? Would love to learn more about what maintenance work's been done and what's not.

Awesome, congrats.

Looks like a clean R56 MINI Cooper S with tasteful mods on it already. Maybe contact the last dealer it was at to pull history other then carfax.
