2003 Mini Cooper S 77,000 Miles, 6 speed manual, Grey cloth seats, Front sliding sunroof rear fixed sunroof, Xenon headlights, Cold AC, Darkest legal ceramic tint on all windows including the sunroofs(cost $500 to have installed). Most of the exterior chrome has been blacked out including- aero package front grill, blacked out belt line, headlight trims painted black, base model black side scuttle trims, smoked scuttle turn signals, Base model fuel door. The engine has had a few upgrades done which include- 15% overdrive supercharger pulley, 2% overdrive aluminum crank pulley, Detroit Tuned bypass valve, DDM Intake, Borla non-s catback exhaust- This uses the same piping size as the stock S model with only one muffler and also has six(yes six!) less 90 bends than the stock exhaust. The car has a Methanol injection kit which I feel is a must for a supercharged car in our hot texas summers. This drops the intake temperature down to ambient or less and also increases the fuel octane to over 100. There is a 3 liter tank in the hatch of the car next to the battery. This lasts 1.5-2 tanks of fuel depending on how hard you drive. I will include 10 gallons of methanol with the sale of the car. Battery has been changed to an Odyssey PC680 which is 1/3 the weight of the original battery. The suspension has been upgraded with Koni Sport Yellow adjustable shocks front and rear, Mini Mania springs, Proflex poly front control arm bushings, Eibach front camber/caster plates, M2 strut tower reinforcement plates, rear adjustable control arm links. Wheels are 16" Konig Feathers with BF Goodrich Sport Comp 205/45/16 tires. Each tire wheel combo is 20lbs less than the stock 17" wheels with run flats. The wheel bolts have also been replaced with Wheel studs and nuts. Front brakes have been upgraded to the John Cooper works calipers and larger rotors with stainless braided lines and Akebono cermaic brake pads. Interior is basically stock except for a bluetooth link to stream audio through the stock radio and an Ian Cull auto up module. The module adds auto up and down to both windows along with the ability to set the traction control to be off by default and for the fog lights to come on every time the headlights are on(normally you have to switch them on every time). Shifter is a B&M short shifter with a Delrin knob. The stock metal knob burned my hand in the summer. Lastly I added a trailer hitch which is hidden inside the rear bumper. There is a little cover you pop off to access the hitch. I used this to carry my bike rack only and never towed anything with the car.

The car is in overall very good shape. It does have some minor dings and scratches which are normal for a car of this age. There is one small dent in the rear hatch(bottom right) which was there when I bought the car along with two scrapes on the top of the bumper( I put touch up paint on these) that happened at the same time. the previous owner told me some one had backed into it downtown. I have changed the oil every 4,000 miles with Royal Purple fully synthetic oil. I also run Royal Purple in the transmission. The supercharger belt was just changed a few weeks ago and the coolant and brake fluid(ATE Super Blue brake fluid was used) were flushed within the last six months.

Next Mini Convertible spotted on flatbed truck

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

Mini is well underway testing the third-generation of its four-place Cooper Convertible, as evidenced by these photos, showing the new droptop riding along on a flatbed.
Codenamed the F57 - as opposed to the "F56" designation for the Hardtop - the Convertible will ride on the same UKL front-drive architecture that will underpin its hardtop brother, not to mention its German cousins, the BMW 1 Series GT and X1. According to our spies, it'll share more than a few of the BMW i's lightweight technologies and will include such advanced features as electronically adjustable dampers. That seems like some high-dollar tech for a droptop Mini, but we'd be quite happy to see it arrive all the same.
From the beltline down, we can expect the Convertible to feature almost identical styling to the Hardtop. Based on the spy photos, there's not a lot to see above the belt line, either. The roof carries roughly the same shape, and will probably fold in a similar Z-pattern to the current canvas top.

Mini Countryman Park Lane looks classy in Earl Grey

Wed, Mar 4 2015

Wade through the very, very thick fluff of the press release that announces its entry into the premium compact market (see below for what we consider to be particularly artful prose in the presser), and you'll see that this is the first special edition Mini Countryman the British-born, German-owned brand has so far released. The Mini Countryman Park Lane is painted up in a striking shade of Earl Grey metallic (clever, boys) with contrasting Oak Red roof and accents. And, while it's possible to design a Mini of your very own with a seemingly endless array of colors, stripes and badges inside and out using the online configurator, the Park Lane is one of the classier jobs we've seen from the factory. For those keeping track, Park Lane refers to a street in the London borough of Mayfair, and this is the third special-edition vehicle from Mini that wears the name. See it in high-resolution above and below, and don't forget to read the press release below for a chuckle or two. Related Video: All-round talent with individual style: the MINI Countryman Park Lane. 03.03.2015 MINI Countryman Park Lane. Munich. Bold athletic flair and supreme versatility define the character of the MINI Countryman. As the first MINI with four doors, a large tailgate, five seats and optional all-wheel drive, it took on the role of an irresistible front-line force from the very outset - both in the conquest of additional target groups for the British premium brand and in the area of off-road driving. Its irrepressible forward thrust and flexibility are now expressed even more strikingly in an exclusive edition model. The MINI Countryman Park Lane sees its world premiere at the Geneva International Motor Show in March 2015. It will be available worldwide in up to four engine variants from July 2015. The MINI Countryman has enabled the brand to establish a secure standing in the premium compact segment. Unmistakable design, premium quality, an interior concept of exemplary versatility and typical MINI driving fun both on and off the road go together to create an overall package that is unique in this category of vehicle, meeting the multi-faceted mobility needs of demanding target groups in urban traffic and beyond. In this way the MINI Countryman has successfully asserted itself as an all-round talent with individual style. For the first time, this special status within the competitive environment is now underscored with an edition model.

2014 Mini Cooper goes to the dogs

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

We wouldn't buy a car to make a dog happy, but Mini's latest commercial, Bullheaded, would have you believe that dogs like the new 2014 Cooper as much as humans. Regardless of the commercial's target audience (Spike The Bulldog, or his owner?), it does show a couple new tidbits about the car, such as the new center dial touchscreen, ambient lighting and the nifty tinted pop-up display on top of the dashboard that reminds us of the head-up display on the new Mazda3.
Head below to watch Spike and his owner drive the Mini in Downtown Los Angeles (and the back lots of Paramount), and to get a behind-the-scenes look at how the commercial was made.
