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.

Mini Superleggera gets the green light

Tue, Mar 17 2015

With the fairly lackluster designs coming out of Mini recently, leave it to a group from outside the company to get things right. The minds behind the Berlinetta Lusso and Disco Volante at Touring Superleggera did just that with the retro-inspired Mini Superleggera Vision Concept from last year's Villa d'Este Concours d'Elegance. Now, according to Car in the UK, the droptop has a green light for production from the BMW board and could arrive in showrooms by 2018. The concept stole our hearts with its rounded shape, rear fin and Union-Jack-shaped taillights. Inside, the interior went for extreme minimalism with an aluminum dashboard that positioned just a simple tachometer and thin steering wheel in front of the driver. The production version reportedly rides on the third-gen Mini platform but retains all of the concept's major styling elements. In place of the electric motor, expect the current engine offerings with a 1.5-liter three-cylinder and a 2.0-liter four-cylinder available under the hood. Patent documents might provide an even better hint at what to expect. They also show the design not changing much, other than the lights no longer in the grille, a framed windshield and slightly smaller fin. The Union Jack taillights remain, though. Peter Schwarzenbauer, BMW Group member in charge of Mini, asserted the company was testing the waters for production shortly after the Superleggera's debut. At the time, the price was speculated to be around 35,000 euros if the car arrived on the market in Europe. Related Video:

Mini reveals Untold, Resolute and Untamed special editions for 2023

Wed, Feb 9 2022

Mini is aggressively stepping into the world of special editions for its 2023 model year lineup, and it’s revealing three of them today. They include the Untold Edition, Resolute Edition and Untamed Edition. Not all special editions are available on all models, but every model gets at least one special edition To our delight, all of these models are legitimately interesting in their appearance, so letÂ’s dive right into it. Mini Untold Edition The Untold Edition is specifically for the Clubman, and you can spec it on the modelÂ’s performance trims, including the S, S All4 and John Cooper Works. ItÂ’s the flashiest of the three special editions, and much of that can be attributed to the 18-inch “Refined Brass” and black two-tone wheels. This wheel is exclusive to the Untold Edition, and itÂ’s bound to turn heads. The exterior is done in Sage Green paint, but Mini has done something a little special to further separate the exterior from normal Clubmans by color-matching the plastic cladding to the exterior paint. This is done by dyeing it during production, and it visually lowers the ride height by giving the whole car a generally uniform color. Other trim pieces are done in either “Refined Brass” or glossy black to give a premium and sinister look. You get some intriguing hood and roof stripes, and the side scuttles are 3-D-printed with a unique pattern. Mini attacks the interior by installing leather seats in a paint-matching Sage Green with contrasting seams and piping. YouÂ’ll see Sage Green accents on the dash, and the air vents mimic exterior trim in Refined Brass. YouÂ’ll find “Untold Edition” logos in a few different places, like the steering wheel and side sills. The Mini Cooper S Clubman Untold Edition starts at $42,500. ItÂ’s based on the top-rung Iconic trim (just like the other special editions announced today), which means it comes loaded with most any option you might want. If you desire the JCW version, the price jumps to $49,750. Mini is allowing you to spec these special editions by just adding a separate option package onto the car. For example, a regular Clubman S is made into an Untold Edition via a $2,250 package. Mini Resolute Edition The Resolute Edition can be applied to the widest range of Minis, including the Cooper S Hardtop 2 Door, Cooper S Hardtop 4 Door, Cooper S Convertible and Cooper SE. Yes, this is the one you can get if you want the electric Mini SE.

Mini fesses up to Countryman clutch issue, plans fix

Sat, 10 Nov 2012

Aside 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.
