New member here, use to be a W203 owner, been wanting a mini for a while and I was lucky enough to find a ride I believe owned by a previous member here.

I found his/her car in a BMW dealership and I was sold. Looking forward to the community. I'm a Bay area local.

Planning to put some of my personal touches on it, but looks like it wont be much since the previous owner took care of her pretty well.

Here they are:

My old Ride:



My r56

 

Nice looking Mini. I have no idea what a W203 is but I guess it's a Mercedes. Looks like the PO started some black out mods but didn't finish. Also just my opinion but I think that Mini would look great with a black top and mirror caps or maybe a red top and caps.

 

Yes you are right..it's a mercedes.

Yes i am debating whther to keep the white or to just black out everything which i think might look good, roof and mirror covers

 

^I would black it out. do it! sweet looking r56. where in norcal are you located?

 

welcome! it's fun . check out( nor cal minis)( reme)

 

Thanks! plan to vinyl it gloss black mirrors and roof!

im in san mateo

Will do! hoping to meet a few folks with mini's!

 

Nice looking Mini.
Black out the Roof and well look Like LOL

Mines is up for sale also but having a hard time of letting go.

 

lets swap mirror caps and roof if your selling it..lol...clean ride!

 

you're pretty close to me! i'm in hillsborough, we should get some southbay peeps together for like a in-n-out meet or something!

 

I'm down for that!

 

Millbrae In-N-Out
Burlingame Five Guys
San Mateo Habit Burger Grill

 

Any of the choices really. I just wanna meet up with fellow members w/o having to join some separate Mini "club".

I hope other NorCal peeps chime in too and want to join because NAM seems like a really silent community compared to some other forums. Come on guys/gals!

 

By the way hcalvarez, the W203 looked great. I came from the other german

 

Do you still have the M3?

 

oh, it was a 335i. I got rid of it. Too many fuel pump issues. -_-

 

Damn. You tricked me with the mirrors. But I should have known because the roof wasn't CF. Ahhhh! I'm crazy about BMWs, so yeah, I hate myself when I get things wrong.

Did you get the car brand new? From a local dealer?

 

LOL. Yea, I was one of the few that fitted the M3 mirrors on the E92. I bought it back in '08, new @ New Century BMW (SoCal).

 

Ohh sweet. SoCal.

 

Yea, I'm in NorCal for business. I'll be here 'til June :D

 

i live by habit somebody plan it! in and out has a lot of parking though. im down

 

If we do habit, there is some parking spots by the whole foods area which is good too

 

vinyl styles in Hillsborough

 

nah....it's been nearly 3 weeks or something where they have yet to even call me and tell me my vinyl is here. I won't be a supporter of them.

Moving on!

I think we should do In-N-Out for next Friday night?

 

Disappointed to hear, Lyle has been great.
Got mines done by him.
If you guys meet up, I might be in depending on work schedule.

 

Yea, I met him in person and we chose colors and I even left a deposit. Wrote my name and number down and haven't heard from him since. I honestly think my good friend helped his raise his business since he was the matte black E90 BMW that's on his website.
