2008 Mini Cooper S - Tuned To 222hp on 2040-cars
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States
Professionally maintained and tuned 2008 turbocharged Mini Cooper S Hardtop for sale. Modifications on the car were based around the RMW ecu tune which upgrades the car from the stock 173 HP to a healthy 222 HP. The ecu was personally and professionally tuned by Jan Brueggemann of RMW and CS Motorsports in Lannon, WI. Dyno charts will be available and the Dimsport module which loads the tune will be sold with the car. It contains both the RMW and stock tune; each of which can be loaded in minutes. The Akrapovic turbo downpipe, Quicksilver exhaust and K&N cold air intake give the car a sporty exhaust note without being obnoxious. Hella 500 driving lights augment the factory lighting and can be turned on and off independently. There are 85000 miles on the car but I would not hesitate taking it on a long trip. It can be enjoyed both on the street as a daily driver or competed with in autocross or track day events. Bilstein Coilover suspension is aggressive enough for competition but livable enough for driving on city streets. Factory rear sway bar replaced with 3 way adjustable H-sport bar. It currently sports 215/45/17 Michelin Super Sport Pilot tires (purchased last March) on matte black Rota wheels. Other small but tasteful modifications include alta shorty antenna, JCW grille, black front trim pieces and beltline blackout.

All receipts for maintenance and upgrades will be provided with sale. Pricing reflects the extensive and professionally completed upgrades on this car.

Mini JCW Paceman vs. BMW M135i in family faceoff
Mon, 15 Apr 2013Over 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.
2021 Mini Cooper 1499 GT adds sporty, retro attitude to the three-cylinder Mini
Fri, Oct 23 2020When you think of sporty Minis, you probably think of the Mini Cooper S and John Cooper Works models with their (relatively) large turbo four-cylinder engines. But with the 2021 Mini Cooper 1499 GT special edition, Mini is trying to bring a dash of sportiness to the base three-cylinder model. The car's styling and name is inspired by the Mini 1275 GT that was introduced way back in 1969 as a more affordable, but still sporty, alternative to the Cooper S. The number represented the engine displacement in cubic centimeters, as it does on the new 1499 GT. The black paint scheme with gold side stripes is the inverse of the launch color for the 1275 GT. Further adding to its athletic looks are black badges and trim, 17-inch wheels, and John Cooper Works-style front and rear bumpers, side skirts and hatch spoiler. The interior also picks up an array of John Cooper Works parts including the steering wheel, seats, shifter and pedals. In front of the steering wheel is the digital instrument cluster from the John Cooper Works GP. Mini also adds a few equipment upgrades found in upper-trim Cooper Hardtops such as dual-zone automatic climate control, automatic lights, automatic wipers, a 6.5-inch infotainment screen and navigation. What the 1499 GT doesn't get are any performance upgrades. The turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder makes the same 134 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque as its Cooper siblings. It comes standard with a six-speed manual transmission, and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is available as an option. The suspension is unchanged as well. Still, we've found that the base three-cylinder Mini is a thoroughly entertaining car to drive. To pick up one of these special edition Minis, you'll need to fork over $27,890. That's about on par with the Mini Cooper Signature trim, so it isn't completely unreasonable to pay that much for a three-cylinder Mini. But buyers looking for a sporty Mini might be tempted to skip over the 1499 GT for the more powerful Mini Cooper S, which starts slightly less at $27,250. Related Video:
Mini Clubvan axed after just 50 sales
Wed, 17 Jul 2013Well, that didn't last long. According to Green Car Reports, Mini has discontinued the Clubvan from its model range in the United States.
Nathalie Bauters, Mini's US communications manager, cited "relatively low demand and the effect of an excessive 25-percent tax on vehicles for commercial use (known as 'the Chicken Tax')" as the key reasons for axing the Clubman from our market, GCR reports. The 2013 Clubvan launched in the US earlier this year, and to date roughly 50 examples have been sold.
The Clubvan, based on the Clubman model, features a flat load floor behind the two front seats, with blacked-out (well, body-colored) side windows. This nifty little cargo wagon could carry up to 33 cubic feet of goods, which while useful, pales in comparison to more capacious offerings like the Ford Transit Connect van.
