Some background:

I'm the original owner. I picked up the car on June 29, 2013 with 22 miles on the odometer. The car was broken-in per Mini/BMW factory recommendations. Car's never been tracked. No smoking and no pets.

Oil change and transmission fluid change done concurrently at 1,364 miles. The engine oil used was Castrol Edge Professional TWS 10w-60; transmission fluid was Redline MTL 70W80.

Consistent and methodical cleaning regimen. Washes using "P21S High Performance Total Auto Wash"; quarterly waxes, including claybar treatment, using "P21S 100% Carbauba Paste Wax."

No after-market modifications; non-OEM parts on the car limited to low-dust EBC Redstuff brake pads to replace the notoriously dusty BMW/Mini OEM pads.

Clear bra applied to the entire hood, front air dam, headlamps, foremost portion of roof, side mirrors, sideskirts, and on topmost portion of rear bumper assembly (luggage strip). Wet Okole neoprene seat covers on both seats. The clear bra was applied before any freeway driving was done, while the seat covers were installed during first month of ownership. (Note: the seat covers were temporarily removed for the purposes of the photos featured in this listing. Will be including with sale, if buyer so chooses)
