2011 MINI Cooper S 


I have for sale my 2011 MINI Cooper S.  I am the original owner of this vehicle and have loved it ever since the first day.  I am a factory MINI technician at a local MINI Dealer, and have over maintained this vehicle since day one.  MINI recommends an oil change on these vehicles every 12 to 15,000 miles depending on driving characteristics, and I have changed the oil every 4 to 5,000 Miles including an oil change at 1200 miles after engine break in.  I have done a lot of work and put a lot of my own labor and money into this vehicle.  It has been a hard decision to get rid of it, but i've decided I am looking to buy a truck to pull a trailer for my racing hobby, and its time to let it go.  The only record on this vehicle was a slight front end collision November of 2012 and I am not afraid to mention it because it was hardly an incident at all.  The individual in front of me was not paying attention and hit the car in front of them.  I was on the brakes, slowed significantly and impacted the Ford Fusion in front of me at approximately 10mph.  I had very little damage to my car and continued my travels to work after the report was finished up.  I reported it to insurance as some of the individual parts were too much for me to pay out of pocket at the time so that is why it is on the vehicle history.  I replaced one headlight, the front JCW bumper, the front radiator support, and the hood.  

 To this day I have never ragged this car out or taken it to the track.  I am very into making a vehicle my own and this is the reason I have put all of the performance parts on this car.  I simply drive it "spirited" as some people would put it, which is how the vehicles are designed to be driven, but at the end of the day it is very fast and will put a factory JCW or GP to shame!  NM Engineering reported 195.3 hp and 224.1 ft/lbs of torque to the wheels with a similar tune and bolt ons!  As a factory technician at a local MINI Dealer, I will say my car has been maintained more frequently than any other 2011 we've serviced.  I am very anal about keeping the engine internals clean and the oil changed frequently.  Sludge build up causes wear and tear and clogs the turbocharger supply line that results in failed parts so I've taken extra measures to ensure this car will run for a long long time.

With this MINI comes the remainder of the 3 year/36,000 mile maintenance warranty and the 4 yr/50,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty.  I purchased the vehicle at the end of Oct. 2011 so the maintenance warranty (brakes, oil changes, cabin filters, spark plugs) is cover until Oct. 2014 and bumper to bumper warranty is covered until Oct. 2015.

 Here is a break down of most of the parts currently installed on the vehicle and the retail value:

Nm intake - 429.99
Nm strut tower brace - 319.99
Torque arm insert - 59.99
Ecu tune stage 2 by NM Engineering - 500.00
Samco boost hoses - 379.95
Forge blow off valve - 260.00
Forge front mount intercooler - 720
Hotchkis rear sway bar - 295.95
H&R lowering springs - 230
Brembo JCW brake kit - 2350 (employee discount)
VIS carbon fiber hood - 950 with professional clearcoat
JCW aero kit - 1550 painted (employee discount)
Custom high flow downpipe - 300
VDO Boost gauge - 59.99
Alta boost tap - 54.99


I also added a few other items like the red stitched JCW steering wheel and red stitched JCW shift knob with suede boot, as shown in the photos that i'll include.  A few other things I did was put a set of JCW 17" challenge wheels on it painted matte black, with 90% almost new Yokohama S drives.  Most of the chrome trims have been painted or wrapped black and the roof was originally white which was wrapped black.  The exhaust is custom from the downpipe back to the JCW muffler which sounds awesome.  Come see it for yourself!

 I have valued my car at NADA clean retail value and 50% of the original cost of all add on parts!  My price is very fair for what the new owner will be receiving so please no low ball offers.  This car needs absolutely nothing!

 Please feel free to message me with any questions at all I will be glad to give you anymore information I can!  If there is anything you do not want on the vehicle send me a message and if I have that OEM replacement, I will be glad to install it for you and discount the price accordingly.

Thanks so much!

Mini JCW Paceman vs. BMW M135i in family faceoff

Mon, 15 Apr 2013

Over the last year, we've had the chance to drive two of the most exciting hatchbacks in the BMW family - the BMW M135i and the Mini Paceman John Cooper Works - but Autocar has managed to get the two corporate cousins together for a head-to-head comparison. Just like our initial impressions of the Paceman JCW, Autocar has little to complain about this new 215-horsepower hatchback... until it begins to factor in the faster, better-mannered and similarly priced M135i.
Despite laying down an extra 100 hp and delivering a 0-60 time that is almost two seconds quicker, the M135i carries the same price tag of 29,535 pounds in the UK; US pricing for the Paceman starts at $36,200, while it still isn't even clear if the US will be getting the M135i. Even more surprising is the fact that the Paceman falls short of the M135i in regards to rear seat and cargo volume, and just barely squeaks out a win in the fuel economy department. Scroll down to watch the BMW versus Mini hot hatch battle.

Mini teases third-gen hatch to debut next week

Mon, 11 Nov 2013

All it takes is a small spark to set off a fire. Just look at what has happened since BMW brought back the Mini in the early 2000s. What started with a hatchback has since spawned more bodystyles than we care to count and almost as many imitators. The second generation followed in 2007, and now Mini is preparing to launch the third.
The new Mini is scheduled to debut a week from now on November 18 at the Oxford plant in England, just days before the LA Auto Show and Tokyo Motor Show kick off and on the birthday of the original's designer Sir Alec Issigonis.
The third generation of the popular retro hatchback is expected to closely follow the lead set by the Mini Vision concept revealed a few months ago, but then we already knew that, having seen numerous undisguised photos of the new car in action. Still, the half-minute teaser video embedded below does a decent job of drumming up some enthusiasm, so if you're enamored of the Anglo-Saxon retromobile, head on down to check it out.
