Nine years and forced to bail out MINI

Started with an 03 and then a 06 MCS when the 03 gave us electrical fits. And both had the same sunroof leak.

Now the very low mileage 06 lights are flashing again (seatbelt, Airbag, etc.) after a very expensive alternator, BCM and reprogram two months ago. Another BCM is going in so I can drive it to trade in.

Absolutely the most fun car we ever had (and I had a 66 MCS too); and was very competitive in autocross/gymkhana.

Going to miss the car and this community (and the April Club!); but it kicked me in the teeth too many times.

Hope you and your MINI's stay happy and healthy!
