Reason for selling: I now have a 2006 BMW 330cic ZHP so it is time to sell.

The good: 2nd owner. The car was purchased in 2009 with 18k miles. So the majority of the mileage and ownership years have been by me. Drives great! Hardly had any problems with it, very reliable thus far. Everything works on it. Not a single electronic or mechanical problem. I'm actually quite amazed! Very fun to drive. I had lowering springs on the car and plastidipped all the chrome originally. I removed all of that to get it looking back to good old OEM stock. (you can see in my sig pic how it looked modified.) Also, If you want the lowering springs you can have them. Harmon Kardon stereo is top notch! Much better than the E46 H/K. Amazing color combo. Factory LSD is great for sporty driving and winter. New tires with about 90% tread life. Car comes with a base model Cooper S 16' spare tire. Car has brand new factory racing stripes and MINI badges to spruce it up a bit for its sale.

The bad: Hardly had any problems with it, so not much has been done to it. The belt tensioner was fixed under warranty about 2 years ago and thats it really. Nothing other than oil changes, brake pads, and tires. Car has a few rough spots you'll see in pictures, but otherwise in great shape. The interior rattles a bit, but you wont find a MINI without that. I had the car blacked out with plastidip originally, so I removed it. Unfortunately there are a few spots that were hard to get at but the spots arent really noticeable. The car was rear ended over a year ago, but there was NO frame damage whatsoever. Only the bumper was damaged which has been replaced. That is the only "accident" and it has a clean car fax otherwise.

I'm going to miss this car alot! I've never had a car that was more fun to drive!

Mods:
M7 strut brace to prevent strut tower mushrooming
Alta intake
One ball exhaust mod. (resonator delete)

Pics:










Worst dent on the car. Bumper is also scraped a bit.


This one must've happened in my college parking lot.... You can see a crease in the body parallel to the door seam, along with horizontal white paint scrapes. This one insto that noticeable honestly.













Tread life is great:

 

What is your feedback for the one ball mod? What was the difference in and out of the cabin?
