2003 Mini Cooper - Solid Gold - Automatic - Low Miles - Loaded on 2040-cars
Northfield, New Jersey, United States
I am selling my 2003 MINI Cooper. I am the original (non-smoking) owner - I custom ordered it in 2003. It's in excellent condition (the rear seats have accommodated maybe 2 rear ends over the life of the vehicle) with only (approx.) 60,500 miles and it has been garage-housed. It's Solid Gold with Black Leatherette Seats and Anthracite Dash with Automatic CVT transmission. It has checkered mirror caps currently, though the MINI originally had black mirror caps which will be included in the sale. Also, the gas door is chrome which was only available on 'S' models at the time, but I switched it for the chrome. Please see the picture of the window sticker for full option details but it has the three main packages available at the time of order...Premium, Cold Weather, and Sport, which include... Panoramic sunroof Automatic climate control Heated seats Heated wiper jets and heated mirrors Front and rear fog lights (some Coopers have missing toggles in the row of toggles in the dash - this has all the toggles - no wondering "hmm, I wonder what option I COULD have gotten that would fill that unsightly empty spot") Dynamic Stability Control Sport seats Auto-dimming rear view mirror Rain sensing wipers Cruise control Add-on cup holder to accommodate larger cups and bottles Aux-input - there's an aux 1/8" audio input in the glove box if you prefer to directly connect audio Also, I have added a GROM Bluetooth module which allows for bluetooth phone use and streaming bluetooth audio through the built-in radio, as well as supplying a usb port for charging your phone, and an additional 1/8" aux input. Drives just fine and regularly serviced with no mechanical issues. Two keys, a valet key, and original manuals all included. If you are looking for a well-maintained, option-loaded preowned vehicle with low mileage, this is the car for you. Buy from a dealer and you have no idea what you're getting. I have a complete maintenance history available, and all service was done at my MINI dealership. Brake pads, rotors and sensors were replaced in January of 2012 at 47,400 miles Brake fluid was last done in Dec. of 2012 at 55,800 miles Oil service was last done in January of 2013 at 56,300 miles. Only synthetic oil has been used. |

BMW-designed Mini Cooper celebrates its 20th birthday
Sat, Oct 3 2020Mini is celebrating a major milestone. It unveiled the original Cooper Hardtop 20 years ago at the 2000 edition of the Paris auto show. More than merely a new car, this retro-styled hatchback laid the foundations for the entire brand. Its predecessors sometimes wore Mini emblems, but they were always sold by various companies including Austin, Morris, Rover, and, through a licensing deal, Innocenti. The name didn't officially denote a standalone carmaker until the hatchback was presented to the public in the French capital two decades ago. The decision to make Mini a brand came from executives at the top of BMW, which purchased England-based MG-Rover in 1994. Developing a Mini for the 21st century was a Herculean task. Releasing an evolution of the original car, which made its debut in 1959, was completely out of the question; it had outlived its expiration date by decades, and was a fossil in automotive terms. The new model had to be designed on a blank slate. And yet, the development team decided it still needed to look like a Mini, and it also had to drive like one. After experimenting with several concepts, like the futuristic ACV30 (pictured below) shown in 1997, designers settled on a basic set of guidelines. 1997 Mini ACV30 concept View 4 Photos According to Mini, the project brief stated the 21st-century model needed to have short overhangs, round headlights, a hexagonal grille, and room for four passengers. It also had to be front-wheel drive, a layout that made the original car a packaging masterpiece (and, admittedly, a bit of a nightmare to work on), but stylists decided to give it a hatch in the name of practicality. Finally, product planners decided to push the Mini upmarket, away from its roots as a value-friendly alternative to bubble cars, and embed it firmly into premium territory. Called R50 internally, the hatchback was initially offered in two variants named One and Cooper, respectively. Mini expanded the range in record time. Model year 2002 brought the hotter Cooper S (R53), a turbodiesel engine joined the European line-up in 2003, and a convertible (R52) was introduced in 2004. Sales in the United States started for the 2002 model year, and driving enthusiasts gave it a warm reception. It was well worth the wait. BMW never planned to keep Mini anchored to a single model. It introduced the second-generation Cooper in 2006, and new variants arrived in rapid-fire succession. By 2010, there was a Mini to suit nearly everyone's needs.
Mini stretches its legs with new Clubman Vision Gran Turismo concept [w/video]
Thu, Feb 26 2015The Clubman may not be the first model you think of when it comes to sporty Minis, but with the next-generation wagon variant just around the corner, the Anglo-Saxon automaker is evidently keen to reshape the Clubman's image, using it as the basis for its Vision Gran Turismo concept. Designed entirely for the virtual reality of Gran Turismo 6, the Mini Clubman Vision Gran Turismo may not be as extreme as some of the creations dreamed up by other automakers. But as far as Minis go, it's pretty out there. Into its beefed-up, long-roof form it packs a powertrain of undisclosed dimensions but producing 395 horsepower (and evidently requiring six tailpipes – two on each side and two out the back). Exhaust tips aside, all that muscle – nearly twice what any road-going Mini has produced to date – drives through all four wheels to theoretically deliver it to 62 miles per hour in a scant 3.5 seconds. Throw in the track-tuned bodywork – including a proliferation of spoilers, added ventilation, a wider track and 22-inch rims – and you're looking at one very serious Mini indeed. But before you balk at the concept, consider that Mini has had some serious motorsport bragging rights over the years: it dominated the Monte Carlo Rally (among others) in the mid-1960s, and though it canceled its more recent World Rally Championship effort, it went on instead to win the Dakar Rally four years running now. What you're looking at here is the form it would likely take were Mini to shift its attention (as Citroen recently did) to touring cars instead. This content is hosted by a third party.

Inspired by the brand's legendary motor racing success, the MINI Design Team has created the essence of a MINI to enable maximum racing performance in the game Gran Turismo®6 for PlayStation®3. "MINI has many highly emotional achievements to its name in motor racing. The MINI Clubman Vision Grand Turismo literally puts these onto the virtual race track in Gran Turismo 6. The image of a go-kart on the road has recurring appeal," says Anders Warming, Head of MINI Design. The 395 hp engine accelerates the MINI Clubman Vision Gran Turismo from 0 to 100km/h in just 3.5 seconds.
2015 Mini Cooper snapped uncovered on the road
Mon, 30 Sep 2013The third generation of reborn Mini is nearly upon us. Just look at the trail of breadcrumbs the Anglo-Saxon automaker has been leaving us.
First we saw the upcoming new Mini Cooper, spied from above at a photo shoot, which Mini was quick to point out was not its best angle. Then BMW's retro-hatch division showcased the Mini Vision concept, and followed up just yesterday with details of the new engines and chassis that will underpin the latest model. And now we have the clearest batch of spy shots we've seen yet.
Not only were these shots taken from a better angle, but also show the new Mini in the more tempting Cooper S trim - complete with hood scoop, split-spoke alloys, roof spoiler and twin central exhaust tips.
