You are looking at a 2010 Mini Cooper Hardtop with the remainder of a Mini Maintenance Program Upgrade Agreement good for 72 months (April 2016) or 100,000 miles, whichever occurs first, and transferrable to the new owner, a copy included with the sale. It has been a fun ride, never abused, always enjoyed, always garaged. It has a John Cooper Works tuning kit installed at the factory, including a free flow intake and exhaust, with reprogramming giving a total horsepower of 190, up from stock of 172. There are no dents or scratches. All scheduled maintenance has been done at Crown Mini of Richmond under the maintenance agreement, and all records come with the vehicle, including the original shipping updates showing when it left the factory in Southampton, England and the shipping vessel progress to the States. Last month the front brake pads and rotors were replaced and oil changed, all under warranty. The battery was replaced in February. The Carfax is clean. This Mini has all options, including: leather lounge carbon black seats with white piping (rare), Convenience Package (garage-door opener, keyless entry, auto-dimming rear view mirror, intermittent wipers with rain sensor, auto headlights, and bluetooth with a USB port), Cold Weather Package (power folding, heated mirrors, headlight washer jets, and heated seats), Premium Package (dual pane panoramic sunroof, auto climate control, and Harmon/Kardon premium sound with 10 speakers- sounds great!), Sport Package (17"alloy spoke wheels, xenon headlights, dynamic traction control, and white turn signals), chrome line interior, bonnet stripes, and center armrest. Added later were a fumed amboyna burl wooden shift knob (original saved), carbon fiber interior door handles, mud flaps, NM hi-flow intake and discharge turbo pipes, and an NM front shock tower stabilizer. A SiriusXM radio mount is installed and will accomodate an XpressRCi radio. The original tires were replaced with Continental Extreme Contact non run-flat tires 14,000 miles ago and have been rotated to maximize tread life. Paint seal renewal has been applied twice since purchase. In short, I am pleased to offer this car to a qualified buyer who will take care of it as I have, and you have the confidence of worry-free ownership under the remainder of the maintenance agreement.

A deposit of $1000.00 must be made to Paypal within 24 hours of the auction close. Out-of-state payment balance must be wired to my bank within 72 business hours at which time a clean title will be sent or produced to the buyer. In-state payment may be in the form of cash or a cashiers check which must clear before title release. All taxes, licensing and shipping is the responsibility of the buyer in the state of residence. I will work with you to help with delivery. Of course, you are protected by the Ebay Buyer Protection Plan.

BMW and Mini getting GoPro integration

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

The small, high-quality and relatively inexpensive GoPro camera has been revolutionary for Internet video, especially of cars. Imagine how much awesomeness and hilarity we would have missed without them. Finding ways to integrate the cams into performance cars is becoming increasingly popular among automakers, as well. For example, the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette has its Performance Data Recorder, and Volkswagen is giving GoPros to early buyers of the 2015 GTI. BMW Group is going straight to the source for its rendition, though, with a new app that allows drivers to control a GoPro from inside of some BMW and Mini vehicles.
In July, owners with 2012 or later models equipped with BMW Apps or Mini Connected can download the new app. There are a few hurdles to jump over, though. Not only do users need a model with the infotainment system, a WiFi-equipped GoPro camera is also required. The app also must be installed on an iPhone connected to the vehicle.
Once all of those stipulations are met, the app can configure and control the GoPro through iDrive and display a nearly live image on the infotainment system. Menus are simplified on-screen but still allow users to select among six camera modes, aim it and start and stop recording. While filming, it shows recording time, battery life and signal strength. While BMW's approach isn't quite as nicely integrated as the Corvette's solution, it's interesting to see automakers working to make filming easier. Scroll down to read the full announcement.

Street Glory Mappers turning cars into dynamic billboards like this

Fri, 04 Jul 2014

A French marketing firm with the impenetrable name of Street Glory Mappers is literally turning cars into billboards. Of course, we've all seen vehicles painted up for promotional use, but this company is taking that concept even further by including video.
Street Glory Mappers equips the vehicles with a large video screen behind the windshield to play whatever is being advertised. According to the company's promo, it may even be possibly to sync up the vehicle's lights with the show, as well. The firm claims that it's a great form of temporary, mobile marketing because the car can arrive at the location, play the video and then go away when the prospective audience leaves.
While it doesn't necessarily seem any more effective than other forms of advertising, the firm's idea is at least unobtrusive. After all, it's easier to ignore a stationary car than a person handing out flyers. However, vehicle flashing its lights and playing video could certainly distract other drivers.

Thanks to smaller engines, vehicle dependability falls for first time in 16 years

Fri, Feb 14 2014

As automakers have made engines smaller and smaller to improve fuel economy, problems in those vehicles have gotten bigger and bigger. That's the synopsis of a J.D. Power vehicle-dependability study, which found that dependability dropped for the first time in 16 years, largely because the proliferation of four-cylinder engines is causing the vehicles to be less reliable. Specifically, the number of problems per 100 vehicles (or what J.D. Power calls PP100) during the past 12 months for 2011 model-year vehicles rose six percent from the year-earlier figures for 2010 model-year cars. Singling out four-cylinder vehicles revealed about a 10-percent increase in problems during the past year. This issues largely related to engine hesitation, rough transmission shifting and lack of power, signaling the inability of vehicle makers to iron out some of the problems in their smaller engines as they strove for better fuel economy. Six- and five-cylinder engines proved far more reliable. Among car brands, BMW's Mini sub-brand came out as least reliable, with 185 problems per 100 vehicles during the past year. Toyota's Lexus badge was easily the most reliable, with just 68 problems per 100 vehicles. Coming in second place was Mercedes-Benz. The overall average was 133. Check out J.D. Power's press release below. J.D. Power Reports: Increased Engine and Transmission Problems Contribute to Decline in Vehicle Dependability for The First Time in More Than 15 Years General Motors Company Receives Eight Segment Awards, While Toyota Motor Corporation Garners Seven and Honda Motor Company Earns Six WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.: o Owners of 3-year-old vehicles (2011 model year) report more problems than did owners of 3-year-old vehicles last year, according to the J.D. Power 2014 U.S. Vehicle Dependability StudySM (VDS) released today. The study, now in its 25th year, examines problems experienced during the past 12 months by original owners of 2011 model-year vehicles. Overall dependability is determined by the number of problems experienced per 100 vehicles (PP100), with a lower score reflecting higher quality. The study finds that overall vehicle dependability averages 133 PP100, a 6 percent increase in problems from 126 PP100 in 2013. This marks the first time since the 1998 study that the average number of problems has increased. "Until this year, we have seen a continual improvement in vehicle dependability," said David Sargent, vice president of global automotive at J.D.
