Looking good! The all-black look seems to suit the Roadster really well...

Very nice choice.

Thank you thank you!

Welcome to the "Roadster Club" :nod: Beautiful new Obsession you have there. I'm on the same path, just sold my 330i and getting rid of my R52. Your R53 was a source of inspiration for me. Looking forward to see how the R59 progresses :thumbsup:

That is one good looking interior!

Gorgeous.

Can't tell you how log we deliberated over the interior, deciding between the Rooster Red Colour Line vs the Chilli Red Interior Trim. We knew we wanted one or the other but not both!

Is the exterior going to stay stripe free? We went with the Red Stripes which we both agreed on but the Red Mirror Caps but it was a split decision!

thanks everybody! I'm happy to be in the Roadster club.

Yeah I liked the chili red dash.. that way I can change it if the red gets to be to much later on.
I think I'm going to steer away from the stripes. I like how clean the car is without them. Who knows maybe I'll do something down the line. Mirror caps will probably be checkered. I had them on my R53 and I think I want to have a call back to the first mini I owned. haha
Thanks!!!
Cant waiting see all your roadsters!

It has been a few years since I posted. Sold my '03 MCS four years ago and now am tempted by the Roadster. Love your JCW...

thanks!! yeah you should go for it... You'll be smiling again!
When I got back in a mini I realized why I love them!

Just installed the Alta hot air intake.
I do enjoy the turbo. I find this turbo setup sounds pretty odd. I like it though... I need to get more power in this thing. I think I'm gonna start working my wat to a down-pipe and an IC... then the tune.
For now this will hold me over... for a week or two. haha

Sweet looking Roadster! The interior choice was a good one.

I feel you on the mod bug....installed my first 3 today....including the DOS Intake :-) I love the Alta intake too, the wife has one on her 09 MCS and I had one on my 05 MCS. :-)

Its addictive! congrats!
