For sale is my pristine 2006 MINI Cooper S John Cooper Works with optional Aero kit and English Panther Leather interior.

The car has been meticulously maintained. Body and paint are in excellent condition, with no prior accidents.  My wife was hit by some debris on the freeway, which dented the hood and front air dam.  Both were replaced under insurance claim, and I had the shop clean up all dents and door dings, and spray the doors and 1/4 panels.   Paint is OE quality, bonnet stripes are matte black and painted on.  Looks impeccable, this car turns heads everywhere it goes.

It has 6-speed manual transmission and the following Factory Option Packages:

Premium Package:Automatic Air-conditioning, Panoramic Sunroof, Steering Wheel Cruise & Radio Controls, On-board Computer.

Sports Package: Dynamic Stability Control, Sports Suspension, 17-inch Alloy Wheels, Front Fog Lamps, Xenon High-intensity Headlamps, Power Headlamp Washers

John Cooper Works Package: Specially designed eaton supercharger, head, exhaust system, Limited Slip front differential, JCW Brake kit

Additional factory options include:


Heated front seats
Harman-Kardon premium sound system
4-piece all-weather rubber floor mats
medium-dark all-around window tint.
JCW aero kit

Owner installed goodies:

19mm HK rear anti-sway bar (adjustable)
Linear rate competition springs by Texas Speed Works
Polyurethane control arm bushings
SPC billet rear lower control arms for proper alignment
Polyurethane upper engine mount eliminates engine flop in transition
M7 front strut tower brace
Nanotech tint on panoramic roof, as dark as it comes
Stainless resonator delete.  Factory resonator comes with car.  Easy bolt up if you want it.
Extra chassis bracing in engine bay used to stiffen convertible MINIs.  Every bit helps.

Recent Service Includes:

Lower engine mount replaced with new factory mount
Power steering hoses (all three)
Bushings replaced with polyurethane
Oil pan gaskets
Water pump
Serpentine belt
Alignment
Major service and inspection performed by Kensington Motor Car of Las Vegas

All fluids and filters replaced, spark plugs, all systems checked and adjusted.  No mechanical problems found, you are welcome to contact them to verify.  They have a MINI technician that used to work at the dealership where I bought it.  Mark has performed the bulk of the service.

I have seen several MINIs from 2006 with less miles for sale here on eBay.   I realize mileage is always a consideration, but keep in mind that a car with 50k miles will soon need many of the repairs listed above.  The gaskets hoses, water pump and control arm bushings are fairly universal repair items for the 2002-2006 MINIs.   Although my car has higher mileage, these repairs have been completed, saving you money.

I've spent $5000 in the last year or so completing these repairs, so figure you're saving about that much over a lower mileage MINI.

Tires are Continental extreme contact DWS in 215/45, with more than 80% tread life, mounted on brand-new 17" Konig feather ultra-light performance wheels in powder black.

Also available are the factory JCW 18" alloy wheels, but they need refinishing.  All four have curb rash and need tires.  I'm willing to sell the car with only the JCW rims, keep the Konigs and contis, and discount $900 from final auction price.

As you can see from the photos, the drivers rocker panel was damaged when I installed the springs.  I was quoted $250 to resurface and paint it.  There is also a scratch near the drivers door, caused by the clip of my stupid pocket knife.  The factory appliqu'e on the rear spoiler is peeling a bit, and I was quoted $150 to remove it and spray with matte black to match the bonnet stripes.

Please keep in mind the car will need ~$500 of body and paint work to look perfect.

Interior is excellent, but there is some minor wear in the drivers seat caused by that same stupid knife clip.  Barely noticeable, but I'm giving you all the details in the interest of full disclosure.  We don't smoke and this car has never had a cigarette inside her.

I love this car to death, but we want a new GP MINI.  So we need to sell her to buy that.  Anyone looking for a head-turner that has the creature comforts of a daily-driver but is auto cross and track ready, has found it all in this incredibly fun-to-drive little package.

The car is best experienced in person, and I will be happy to arrange a showing.

Upcoming Mini 5-door hatch spied in the snow

Mon, 17 Feb 2014

We are about to get a flood of new Mini models now that the new 2014 model is officially out. In just the past few months, we've seen spy shots of the next-generation John Cooper Works and so-called Traveler crossover, and here we have the upcoming five-door hatchback in Cooper S form, a model that, like the Traveler, is expected to effectively obviate the need for the slow-selling Clubman.
Mini is not exactly hiding that this is a new five-door model, even with its camouflage - the rear door line and handle are clear as day. Also, compared to the three-door Cooper Hardtop, there appears to be an added pillar and additional length at the rear. The hatch also appears to be mounted at a steeper angle than the standard Mini. Also, you have to admit that the Mickey-Mouse-ear fog lights are cute, even if Mini would never actually sell it that way.
Expect to see even more variants soon, if BMW and Mini want to reach their goal of selling over a million front-wheel drive vehicles - an earlier report indicated there could be as many as 23 front-wheel drive cars from the brands in the coming years.

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.

2025 Mini Cooper SE spy photos give us our best look yet

Mon, Apr 3 2023

We've seen 2025 Mini Cooper Hardtops under heavy camouflage for a couple of years now, and even got a look at an undisguised one. But a spy photographer came across an uncovered example at a photo shoot in Los Angeles, and it's our best look at the little hatchback. This particular one is the Mini Cooper SE, which will be among the first of the new generation since it's electric. Like the current SE, it has a lime-green "S" badge. It seems like one of the few obvious cues that it's the sporty electric model, since the hood scoop has vanished. It retains a version of the extra large front grille surround of the current cars. The whole shape of the car, including the wraparound glass and contrasting roof, are very obviously Mini. There are interesting detail changes along the sides. The door handles are flush-fit like new BMWs. And the contrasting black plastic fender flares are gone, a trademark cue of Minis since their reintroduction to the U.S. in the early 2000s. There isn't even a nod to a front fender vent or badge, either. It's been simplified significantly. The tail also has big changes. The rear hatch encompasses the rear taillights. Those lights are triangular and still feature a Union Jack motif, but it's a little more obscured. A band with the model name joins the two across the hatch. This new Mini is expected to launch in May of next year. A base version with 181 horsepower and the SE with 215 horsepower are reportedly on the way, along with two battery packs with either 40 or 54 kWh. And there will be gas-powered versions, but they'll arrive a little later. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
