2006 Mini Cooper S

This auction is for a 2006 Mini Cooper S. It is offered for sale by a private seller in Charleston, West Virginia. Please read the entire description and feel free to ask any specific questions you may have, I'm happy to take calls and emails at any time. This is a neighbor's vehicle, I have listed it on his behalf.  I've listed and sold several vehicles of mine over the years and always had a good experience.  I'm not a dealer but an enthusiast, it's the only reason I listed this one for him; it has a great story and is a unique piece.  I've started the bidding at a low price so everyone has a chance to get in and the reserve is extremely reasonable. Thanks for looking and enjoy the auction.

Every car has a story and this one is amazing!  This car was purchased from Hendrick MINI in Charlotte, NC on 12/01/2006.  The original window sticker is intact.  It was then driven to Charleston, WV where it has spent it's entire life in a garage being driven regularly a few miels at a time to keep the fluids and systems in operation. 

The owner had plans to retire and travel out west in his motor home and tow his Triumph TR6 for some fun driving experiences.  Upon further consideration; he decided that constantly repairing a Triumph whilst on the open road might not be a good idea.  So, he purchased the Mini; still British (somewhat) and still a fun drive.  Needless to say, the recession hit and all plans were off.  The motor home was sold and retirement put on hold.  The Mini was garaged next to the Triumph and thus is the story.

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION

EXTERIOR

This car's white paint is as glossy as it was the day it rolled off the assembly floor. As I stated earlier, the  vehicle has never even been in rain or snow. There is one rock chip on the front passenger side near the headlamp and two small scratches on the front bumper (see pictures) from something bumping it in the garage.  Other than that, it's perfect.  The glass is all original and in perfect condition. The wheels are in perfect shape.

INTERIOR

The black leather (yes, real leather, $1,700 option) interior is in perfect condition as well. The rear seats were never sat in and the passenger seat has carried a passenger maybe a total of 20 miles.  No scuffs or scratches here either. All controls are functional and operational. Everything is as it should be.

ENGINE / TRANSMISSION

The engine and transmission are in like new condition. The car starts, runs and drives as it should. With this kind of mileage you are not going to experience any problems here.

WHEELS / TIRES

The 17" wheels and tires are exactly as nice as they appear in the pictures.  The tires are original and obviously, only have 1,600 miles on them.

Next BMW X1 moving to smaller, lighter FWD-biased platform

Thu, 20 Feb 2014

BMW's decision to make the upcoming 2-Series Active Tourer front-wheel drive has been polarizing to say the least, but like it or not, that is the direction the company will go in the near future - one rumor put the number as high as 23 front-wheel-drive models for Mini and BMW combined. The next-generation X1 won't send all its power to the front wheels, though, when it launches in early 2016. While it will use the same platform as the Active Tourer, rumors suggest all models will use all-wheel drive - at least at launch.
A "high-ranking," unnamed BMW manager confirmed to AutoWeek that the new model will switch to transversely-mounted three- and four-cylinder engines and the same six-speed manual and eight-speed automatic transmissions as the Active Tourer. The new, smaller platform will allow for more efficient packaging, and despite the smaller size, interior space will remain comparable. All the changes should make it significantly lighter too.
Don't start wailing just yet because BMW surely won't be entirely abandoning sporty models. AutoWeek claims that the Bavarians are working on a higher-output version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with power closer to 300 horsepower, about a 72-hp boost. It's also rumored to offer a sporty version of the X1 that may be called the X2.

Mini's Super Bowl ad stars Serena Williams and Tony Hawk

Tue, Feb 2 2016

Everyone seems to have an opinion about what kind of car a Mini is, and what it says about its driver. For many, it seems, buying one is as much a fashion statement and lifestyle choice as it is anything else. And Mini is out to face those notions head-on in its latest Super Bowl ad. Set to air during the third quarter of the big game on the 7th, the spot brings in a star-studded list of celebrities. Tennis great Serena Williams, soccer player Abby Wambach, hip-hop star T-Pain, major-league pitcher Randy Johnson, skateboard legend Tony Hawk, and actor Harvey Keitel all feature in the 30-second spot dubbed "Defy Labels." The ad was produced by Butler, Shine, Stern & Partners and shines a spotlight on the new Mini Clubman. But you don't have to wait until Sunday to see it: you can watch it right here, and scope out the additional behind-the-scenes video below. This content is hosted by a third party.

As more than 100 million viewers around the world prepare to tune into the big game on February 7, MINI USA is unveiling its star-studded 30-second spot today, set to air in the third quarter of the year's biggest night in television advertising. The ad, created by Butler, Shine, Stern & Partners (BSSP), embraces many of the labels the brand has experienced over the years with a very powerful message: it doesn't care what you call it. "Defy Labels," has its roots in the fact that everyone and everything is labeled but how you handle those labels is what matters. With defiance at its core, the campaign inspires people to shed the labels society has placed upon them and instead define themselves. "Ever since the first Mini was built in 1959, it has been labeled as one thing or another. It's small. It's cute," said Tom Noble, department head, MINI Brand Communications. "This campaign acknowledges those labels in a very authentic way while simultaneously showing people MINI is more than that. With the launch of the new Clubman, our brand is growing up, our products are more sophisticated, and its time to reset the conversation." The brand worked with an ensemble cast of athletes and celebrities to help start that conversation.

Mini finally lands its full blackflip

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

French stuntman Guerlain Chicherit hit the ski slopes of Tignes, France over the weekend - not to enjoy the fresh snow but to perform the first-ever unassisted backlip in a car, which was teased last month.
The unassisted part of the stunt comes from the fact that he Chicherit, in a special rally-prepped Mini Countryman, uses a regular, solid ramp rather than any specially modified ramps that have been used in the past to pull off this stunt. Unfortunately, after 18 months of practice, you'd think the video would be more entertaining by showing more closeups or better angles of the stunt.
Either way, you can check out Chicherit and his Countryman nail the back flip in the video posted below, and Mini has provided a press release and some high-res shots for the stunt as well.
