A/C ice cold, All scheduled maintenance, Always garaged, Looks & drives great, Must see, Satellite radio, Seats like new, Title in hand, Upgraded sound system, Very clean interior, Well maintained Just bought a few months ago and would not be selling it if the wife wasn't pregnant with our first kid. This is very fast and agile car that is a blast to drive. It does have a few scuffs on the bumpers from the previous owner but it still looks fantastic as you can see from the pictures. Tires are in good shape and I had it aligned professionally recently. Brakes are about 6 months old and have great bite. This an awesome car don't let it pass you by.
1a.) These are the mechanical modifications I know of:
a.) Lowered - I don't know how many inches. Whomever lowered the car did not replace the rear control arms and the rear tires were bald on the inside because of the negative(?)camber. I replaced the control arms and had the car's bearings checked and had an alignment done professionally. The rear tires were replaced and balanced at the same time. Incidentally, I had hired the company eBay uses to check out a car when you cannot inspect it in person. He called me while he was inspecting it and said that there weren't any leaks, A/C was ice cold, etc. etc. But he didn't catch the tires which was a safety issue. But everything else was in good shape mechanically. As for the springs and shocks they are plenty stiff and this thing can take corners while flying.
b.) Short air intake
c.) MSD Ignition
d.) Custom Magnaflow exhaust
1b.) These are the cosmetic modifications that I know of:
a.) Clear middle tail light - blinks several times when brake pedal is pressed and then goes solid (cool safety feature)
b.) Front Halo Parking/Turn-signal lights
c.) 4 fog lights
d.) Aftermarket front grill
e.) Aftermarket Rims (Shoei?)
f.) Carbon fiber bonnet scoop
g.) Black headlights (I installed these)
h.) Carbon fiber sideview mirrors
i.) Carbon fiber rear hatch handle
j.) Smoked LED/Incandescent hybrid tail lights (I installed these)
k.) Custom black tachometer and speedometer
l.) Carbon fiber center console pillars
m.) Kenwood Excelon headunit with XM/Sirius receiver (yes the steering wheel controls work :D) - Rockford Fosgate component speakers in the front and Kenwood 6x9s in the back - Pioneer Sealed Subwoofer powered by a 250w Jenson amp, which is plenty loud for the size of the car(I installed the system)
2.) I do not know who did the mods other than the ones I did myself.
3.) There are minor scuffs on the rear bumper that are just your typical dings and scratches.
4.) The only issues that I have had with the car were:
a.) The previously mentioned alignment/tire issue
b.) The driver's side door quit unlocking with the key fob. This seems to be a pretty common thing with the mini's and was easily fixed. All I had to do was pull the lock actuator out of the door and open it and reset a cable. I went ahead and cleaned it up and re-greased all of the mechanical pieces while i was in there. It is working just fine now :)
5.) I do not have service records. I purchased this car in June '12 so i have only had it for 8 months. The only servicing done to it were the previously mentioned alignment and an oil change I did myself with Castrol Syntec (I did it the proper way too with a new magnetic drain plug and all that). I also cleaned the intake filter and replaced the cabin filter last week.
There may be other mods that I dont know of. I'm just mechanically competent to a point and then I let the professionals take over. I do have the official Bentley manual for the car and it will come with it free of charge if you want it. The book has been invaluable for the work that I have done.

Mini unveils new, stripped down logo
Wed, Dec 13 2017Quirky British marque Mini is going with a ... less-than-quirky logo redesign, unveiling a "flat design" that it says is intended to focus on the essentials. It replaces the three-dimensional white-on-black logo that first appeared in 2000. Gone are the three-dimensional style, shading, gray tones and gray-on-black name of the previous version in favor of a stark contrast of black lines and the all-caps Mini name against a white background. It keeps the wings, which first featured on the iconic cars in the early 1960s, according to the Logos History blog, which has a comprehensive collection of logos stretching back to the brand's origins in 1959 under the British Motor Corp. and the Austin and Morris brand names. It also bears a visual similarity to the logo introduced during the mid-'90s. We're not saying the new logo was designed on an old PC using MS Paint, but it looks like it could've been. Parent BMW Group says the new logo combines stylistic elements from the early phases of the classic Mini "with a future-oriented appearance that focuses on the essentials" and a two-dimensional look "allowing universal application." (Meaning, cheaper to produce?) It'll appear on all new Mini models starting in March on the bonnet, the rear, at the center of the steering wheel and on the remote control.Related Video: Image Credit: BMW Group Design/Style MINI Coupe Sedan branding logo bmw group
Mini might build a sedan because it's running out of shapes
Wed, Apr 13 2016Rumors suggest we could soon see a Mini with a trunk to haul your junk. Autocar cites unnamed insiders who claim the sedan is part of the brand's plan for upmarket growth. There's even a possibility the new model could use the Riley moniker in reference to the Elf (pictured above) from the 1960s, which was a Mini with a tiny trunk. The Mini sedan would use BMW's front-wheel-drive platform that underpins the X1 and Clubman and might share the wheelbase and frontend styling with the Clubman as well, according to Autocar. Mini's execs think the four-door would perform especially well in North America and China, where there's less demand for hatchbacks. Ralph Mahler, vice president of Mini's product management, hinted at the possibility of the four-door to Autocar. "For example, in Asia and the US, the sedan segment is very big. This is very interesting to us, of course," he said. Mahler admits that many people don't know about the Mini-based vehicles with trunks from the '60s, like the Riley Elf, so it would be hard to market the new model on that heritage. This could be the perfect time to add a Mini sedan to the lineup, and it might not be a completely new idea for the brand under its BMW stewardship; a rumor from 2012 shows that Mini's bosses considered a four-door at least once before. The company launched new versions of its Hardtop, Convertible, and Clubman, and even added four-door and all-wheel-drive versions of the Hardtop to further blur the lines between that car, the Clubman, and the Countryman. The next-generation Countryman crossover should debut later this year, and the brand reportedly cancelled the Superleggera Vision roadster and Rocketman compact, as Mini has chosen to go big with its new models and its lineup breadth. There are only so many versions of a hatchback a company can make, and the short-lived Mini Coupe wasn't exactly a huge success. If Mini is going to try a new body style, a sedan actually makes some sense, even if we'll probably prefer the look and practicality of the hatches. Related Video:
Street Glory Mappers turning cars into dynamic billboards like this
Fri, 04 Jul 2014A French marketing firm with the impenetrable name of Street Glory Mappers is literally turning cars into billboards. Of course, we've all seen vehicles painted up for promotional use, but this company is taking that concept even further by including video.
Street Glory Mappers equips the vehicles with a large video screen behind the windshield to play whatever is being advertised. According to the company's promo, it may even be possibly to sync up the vehicle's lights with the show, as well. The firm claims that it's a great form of temporary, mobile marketing because the car can arrive at the location, play the video and then go away when the prospective audience leaves.
While it doesn't necessarily seem any more effective than other forms of advertising, the firm's idea is at least unobtrusive. After all, it's easier to ignore a stationary car than a person handing out flyers. However, vehicle flashing its lights and playing video could certainly distract other drivers.
