Hello from California
Last year I purchased a White 2012 R60 S from a family member who wanted to get rid of it quick.
I have long admired the car so I picked it up and love driving it.
Recently the Countryman developed an oil leak and found it coming from the oil filter housing. So I replaced the gaskets without putting it in front end service mode. It was a bit of a challenge and I am now in the process of putting it back together.
Things I have done to the car:
Added black stripes to the hood and rear hatch
Reverse camera and screen
Valve cover replaced (after cracking it trying to replace the PCV)
Turbo Oil Return Pipe
M7 Speed High Flow N18 Intake Hose
Replaced the hood cowls
Removed about 5lbs of pine needles since it was parked outside so I am sure it's going to go faster now
.
Outside of working on cars I like to do photography and spend time outdoors.
