This is NOT your run of the mill used Mini Cooper!

I ordered this car for myself in 2008 and ran down the option list missing only the navigation system as I felt it was a silly option. Everything else, was added! Most of the cars out there were produced for the lot and lack many of the options to keep the pricing down. Not this one...it was for ME!

This car is a fair weather car only as I have other cars to drive...this is my "fun" car and it has fulfilled my every dream! Its fun to drive and it gets great gas mileage too! I relocated the car to my second home in Arizona in 2012(it was the best long drive I ever had) and now I have the desire to have a convertible to drive when I am there so I have to part with my beloved Mini.

Option list is:

MSRP                            $21,200.plus $650 delivery

Lounge Leather Seating $2000

Convenience Package    $1500

Cold Weather Package  $500

Premium Package          $ 1500

Anthracite Headliner    $250

17" rims                        $750

Steptronic Trans           $1250

Stability Control          $500

Chrome line interior   $250

Rear Fog Lamps         $100

Xenon headlight         $500

Satalite radio              $1000      subscription is paid FOREVER!

White Turn Signals   $100

JCW side skirts        $ 1500 plus labor

Mini car cover, mini checkered side scuttles, professional window tint, Lamin-X over headlights, Carbon Fiber trim, Viper stripes, and on and on............ Look at the pictures and see for yourself. I even have donut spare tire in case you want to take it on a long trip like I did ( S models do not come with spare. they have run-flat tires)

The most recent  full service has been done by Scottsdale Mini  this January and all service updates have been performed. I have all records for the car since it was delivered. It is absolutely like a new car! Not a scratch, nick, ding EVER!..... NOTHING but a brand new car! All rims are perfect as well.

Having spent most of its life under a cover, in a climate controlled garage, and on a battery tender, the car looks as if it was delivered yesterday!. While I am very proud of my car, I am also realistic that it has depreciated over the years and will make the second owner a great car at a great price! No sales tax as I am a private party. My reserve reflects the current market value.

The reason for selling is I  have the "hots" for a convertible or I would keep this forever....wife says "one toy at a time" so it has to go....plus the garage is getting cramped!

If you have any questions, please ask before you bid. 

Any shipping costs are not included in this auction. Please budget this when bidding as it will be additional unless you plan to pick the car up.

BMW profit of $2.7B is down as automaker invests to keep luxury lead

Fri, 02 Aug 2013


Despite selling 6.6-percent more vehicles - a record by volume - and posting higher revenues in the second quarter of 2013, BMW Group's profit of 2.07 million euros ($2.75 billion) is down 8.8 percent from last year. Investments in new technology (e.g. the new i3) and personnel, in addition to a competitive market, are to blame, BMW states. But the automaker remains committed to its fiscal targets for 2013, which, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG, Norbert Reithofer, says will be "on a similar scale to 2012."
The BMW brand's sales performance in the first half of the year, which increased by 7.7 percent to 804,258 vehicles delivered, was good enough for it to maintain its lead in the luxury market, narrowly beating Audi, which delivered 780,510 vehicles, Automotive News reports. Mercedes-Benz delivered 694,433 vehicles to cement third place.

On Location in California with BMW and Mini

Thu, Feb 25 2016

A mid-winter escape from frigid Michigan to drive a trio of new BMW and Mini products? It'd be a busy couple of days, but you can't argue with Southern California in February. The temperatures in LA, where we drove the Mini Cooper S Convertible, hovered in the mid-80s, and it was solidly in the 70s further north, at Monterey, where we drove the M2 and X4 M40i. The highlight of the trip was Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, which is a rewarding track to drive in a street car. The M2 was a blast there. The canyon roads above Malibu in the Mini were a close second, but even the lazy drive down the PCH to Big Sur was a blast. More important is the California state of mind we were in when driving all three of these cars. I've spent a lot of time in this state, and it has a complicated relationship with the car – and there's also a huge difference in attitude between the greater Bay Area and Southern California. Ample sun and twisty roads clash with image-consciousness, eco-consciousness, and brutal urban gridlock, and each BMW dealt with that paradox admirably, in its own way. Take a quick jaunt to California with me and check out the locations and experiences that helped form our impressions of these vehicles: the 2016 BMW M2 First Drive, the 2016 Mini Cooper S Convertible First Drive, and the 2016 BMW X4 M40i Quick Spin.

BMW warns profits will fall, plans $13.6 billion in cost-cutting

Wed, Mar 20 2019

FRANKFURT, Germany — BMW said Wednesday that profits in 2019 will be "well below" last year's, and it will cut 12 billion euros ($13.6 billion) in costs by the end of 2022 to offset spending on new technology. The company said profits would be eroded by higher raw materials prices, the costs of compliance with tougher emissions requirements and unfavorable shifts in currency exchange rates. The Munich-based automaker also faces increased uncertainty due to international trade conflicts that could lead to higher tariffs. "Depending on how conditions develop, our guidance may be subject to additional risks; in particular, the risk of a no-deal Brexit and ongoing developments in international trade policy," said Chief Financial Officer Nicolas Peter. The company forecast a profit margin of 6 to 8 percent for its automotive business, short of the long-term strategic target of 8 to 10 percent, which it said still "remains the ambition" for the company if given "a stable business environment." BMW said it had no plans for layoffs even as it outlined cost saving measures that include dropping half of its engine variants as it seeks to reduce product complexity. The BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce brands are to get a single sales division. Peter said that given the headwinds to earnings, "we began to introduce countermeasures at an early stage and have taken a number of far-reaching decisions." The company said the measures were needed "to offset the ongoing high level of upfront expenditure required to embrace the mobility of the future." Automakers around the world have faced heavy up-front costs for technology expected to change how people get from one place to another in the next decade. Those include electric cars and renting cars through smartphone apps. Yet the returns from such investments remain uncertain and auto companies face competition from tech firms such as Uber and Waymo. BMW made 7.2 billion euros ($8.2 billion) in net profit last year, down 17 percent from 2017, when it booked a gain of $1 billion from U.S. tax changes. The company faced headwinds from increased tariffs on vehicles exported to China from the United States. It also suffered from turmoil on the German auto market when companies faced bottlenecks getting cars certified for new emissions rules. BMW faces uncertainty from U.S.-China trade tensions that could result in new tariffs if talks do not result in an agreement. U.S.
