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's matte Countryman Black Knight Edition rises
Wed, 16 Oct 2013Mini is certainly no stranger to a special edition, as unique option and styling packs have been a staple of the Mini line since its return to the US market, but it's next special trim is quite a big departure from previous cars. It's based on the Countryman, and is called the Black Knight Edition.
As you cans see from the image up top, it'll sport a sinister, matte-black paint scheme, making this Mini not unlike BMW's range of Frozen Edition cars. First reported on by those Mini-obsessed folks at MotoringFile, the Black Knight Edition Countryman will be limited to 60 units, and will be offered on a first-come, first-serve basis, making this car quite a bit different from previous special editions, which generally stuck around for a full model year.
According to MF, the matte finish will only be available on the Cooper S Countryman, although oddly, one of the teaser images shows a John Cooper Works badge. BKE models should be coming nearly loaded, which means that there's not a lot of customization done and the price tag is probably going to be exorbitant for a Mini. Buyers will, though, have the choice of front- or all-wheel drive and a choice of six-speed manual or six-speed automatic.
2015 Mini Hardtop 5-Door isn't for the country, man [w/video]
Thu, 02 Oct 2014We've seen it in super high-res glory, and we can even build one on the automaker's website, but the Paris Motor Show marks the official coming out party for the new Mini Hardtop 4 Door (which is what it's called in the US, despite this Euro car having "5 Door" badging). It's a stretched version of the third-generation Mini Hardtop, but with an extra set of doors for rear seat passengers. Think of it as a more useful Clubman, but with a lower ride height and less rugged-ness than the Countryman. Got it? Good.
Engine options carry over from the normal Mini Hardtop range, with a 1.5-liter turbo-three and a 2.0-liter turbo-four offering 134 and 189 horsepower, respectively. The rest of the car is everything else you know and love from the Mini range, just with a more spacious rear bench. And as you'd expect, there's a nearly endless pallet of customization options.
The Hardtop 4 Door arrives at US dealerships just before the end of the year, commanding a roughly $1,000 premium over its three-door kin. Scope out our new live shots in the gallery above, and take in the extensive press blast, below.
Mini fesses up to Countryman clutch issue, plans fix
Sat, 10 Nov 2012Aside from the general lack of snow in the Midwest earlier this year that hampered our ability to properly play with our Blizzak-equipped Mini Contryman long-term test vehicle, the biggest problem we had with this crossover during the year we spent with it was the transmission. On four different monthly updates (September, October, November and June), all in the hands of different Autoblog editors, the Countryman's clutch was called out for being too finicky, leading to many stall outs. Apparently, we weren't alone in our assessment of the Countryman's clutch woes.
According to MotoringFile, Mini has updated the Countryman with a different clutch material and improved software. This much-needed change is being implemented starting this month, but Mini hasn't said what it is doing about existing 2011 and 2012 Countryman models that are afflicted with this problem.
Head over to MotoringFile to see the full official statement from Mini USA on this issue.
