Hi all,

See below, I've also posted this in the MINIs & Minis for Sale section:

Background- I am an incurable gearhead and have been fortunate to experience some incredible cars throughout my (relatively) young life. I recently took delivery of an individual 2017 F80 M3 6-Speed in Laguna Seca Blue which I will be using as my nice weather daily driver for the foreseeable future.

Last summer I had the pleasure of briefly owning a 2006 R53 JCW in Pepper White, which I parted with far too quickly.

Ever since letting the R53 go I have regretted it! I cannot shake the sensation of feeling every groove in the road coupled with that distinctive supercharger whine. So I have to have it back. I'll be keeping my F80 for a while, but not as long as my R52 JCW once I find the right one.

Wants- I am looking for an 06-08 R52 JCW, preferably located in Canada. I am especially hopeful of tracking down a 2008 "Last of the Supercharged" edition. I am in the GTA. Low mileage and high quality mods a huge plus.

I've attached a couple pics of my new M3 as well as 'Peppe' (hence the screen name) which I sold last year

Thanks in advance,
Mark

 

I have owned a host of sports cars and I would trade fast for handling every time. Not that R52 and R53s are not quick, but road feel is the best in them and unique. Calling them go carts, is a good but not refined definition of a Mini.
I love the raw feeling that the R52 and R53 gives us.
I hope you are able to find a replacement for your R52!
I can not imagine life without my 06 R53 JCW, just so thrilling to drive!
If I see a good 08 R52 JCW, I will let you know!

 

Good luck, I dont think there are many in Canada of the LOTS:

Sometimes they pop up here or in the marketplace.
