2011 MINI Cooper S

I have for sale my 2011 MINI Cooper S. I am the original owner of this vehicle and have loved it ever since the first day. I am a factory MINI technician at a local MINI Dealer, and have over maintained this vehicle since day one. MINI recommends an oil change on these vehicles every 12 to 15,000 miles depending on driving characteristics, and I have changed the oil every 4 to 5,000 Miles including an oil change at 1200 miles after engine break in. I have done a lot of work and put a lot of my own labor and money into this vehicle. It has been a hard decision to get rid of it, but i've decided I am looking to buy a truck to pull a trailer for my racing hobby, and its time to let it go. The only record on this vehicle was a slight front end collision November of 2012 and I am not afraid to mention it because it was hardly an incident at all. The individual in front of me was not paying attention and hit the car in front of them. I was on the brakes, slowed significantly and impacted the Ford Fusion in front of me at approximately 10mph. I had very little damage to my car and continued my travels to work after the report was finished up. I reported it to insurance as some of the individual parts were too much for me to pay out of pocket at the time so that is why it is on the vehicle history. I replaced one headlight, the front JCW bumper, the front radiator support, and the hood.

To this day I have never ragged this car out or taken it to the track. I am very into making a vehicle my own and this is the reason I have put all of the performance parts on this car. I simply drive it "spirited" as some people would put it, which is how the vehicles are designed to be driven, but at the end of the day it is very fast and will put a factory JCW or GP to shame! NM Engineering reported 195.3 hp and 224.1 ft/lbs of torque to the wheels with a similar tune and bolt ons! As a factory technician at a local MINI Dealer, I will say my car has been maintained more frequently than any other 2011 we've serviced. I am very anal about keeping the engine internals clean and the oil changed frequently. Sludge build up causes wear and tear and clogs the turbocharger supply line that results in failed parts so I've taken extra measures to ensure this car will run for a long long time.

With this MINI comes the remainder of the 3 year/36,000 mile maintenance warranty and the 4 yr/50,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty. I purchased the vehicle at the end of Oct. 2011 so the maintenance warranty (brakes, oil changes, cabin filters, spark plugs) is cover until Oct. 2014 and bumper to bumper warranty is covered until Oct. 2015.

Here is a break down of most of the parts currently installed on the vehicle and the retail value:

Nm intake - 429.99
Nm strut tower brace - 319.99
Torque arm insert - 59.99
Ecu tune stage 2 by NM Engineering - 500.00
Samco boost hoses - 379.95
Forge blow off valve - 260.00
Forge front mount intercooler - 720
Hotchkis rear sway bar - 295.95
H&R lowering springs - 230
Brembo JCW brake kit - 2350 (employee discount)
VIS carbon fiber hood - 950 with professional clearcoat
JCW aero kit - 1550 painted (employee discount)
Custom high flow downpipe - 300
VDO Boost gauge - 59.99
Alta boost tap - 54.99

I also added a few other items like the red stitched JCW steering wheel and red stitched JCW shift knob with suede boot, as shown in the photos that i'll include. A few other things I did was put a set of JCW 17" challenge wheels on it painted matte black, with 90% almost new Yokohama S drives. Most of the chrome trims have been painted or wrapped black and the roof was originally white which was wrapped black. The exhaust is custom from the downpipe back to the JCW muffler which sounds awesome. Come see it for yourself!

I have valued my car at NADA clean retail value and 50% of the original cost of all add on parts! My price is very fair for what the new owner will be receiving so please no low ball offers. This car needs absolutely nothing!

Please feel free to message me with any questions at all I will be glad to give you anymore information I can! If there is anything you do not want on the vehicle send me a message and if I have that OEM replacement, I will be glad to install it for you and discount the price accordingly.

Thanks so much!

Mini recalling 92k vehicles over airbag flaw

Sun, Apr 19 2015

An issue with the airbags on Mini hatchbacks and convertibles has prompted BMW of North America and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall for an estimated 91,800 vehicles. The problem, according to the notice below, stems from the occupant detection mat for the front passenger seat, which may fail to detect a passenger present and therefor fail to deploy the airbag in the event of a crash. The specific models affected by the recall are the Mini Cooper and Cooper S hardtops from the 2005 and 2006 model years and manufactured between January 5, 2005, and November 28, 2006, as well as the Mini Cooper Convertible and Cooper S Convertible from the 2005 to 2008 model years, manufactured between January 5, 2005, and July 31, 2008. To address the issue, Mini dealers will be replacing the front passenger seat occupant detection mat, with recalls set to commence on May 1. Related Video: RECALL Subject : Front Passenger Seat Occupant Detection Mat Report Receipt Date: APR 06, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V205000 Component(s): AIR BAGS Potential Number of Units Affected: 91,800 Manufacturer: BMW of North America, LLC SUMMARY: BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain model year 2005-2006 MINI Cooper and Cooper S vehicles manufactured January 5, 2005, to November 28, 2006, and 2005-2008 MINI Cooper Convertible and Cooper S Convertible vehicles manufactured January 5, 2005, to July 31, 2008. Due to manufacturing, installation, and exposure issues, the front passenger seat occupant detection mat may not function properly and, as a result, the front passenger air bag may not deploy in a crash. CONSEQUENCE: An improperly functioning mat may cause the passenger frontal air bag to be inactive when the seat is occupied, and in the event of a crash, the air bag will not deploy, increasing the passenger's risk of injury. REMEDY: MINI will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front passenger seat occupant detection mat, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin May 1, 2015. Owners may contact MINI customer service at 1-866-825-1525. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Mini JCW GP to be hatchback only, no 'Ring record attempt in sight

Wed, 14 Nov 2012

The 2013 Mini John Cooper Works GP is dropping weight and lowering its lap times, but one thing it won't be losing is its flat roof. Like the original JCW GP package, Evo says that despite the fact that sportier Mini Coupes have been caught testing, the new GP will only be offered in the three-door Cooper hatchback body style. And that's perfectly fine with us.
Evo spoke with GP development chief Jorg Weidinger who said that as a part of the car's history, "It was a hatch, it is a hatch and it should stay a hatch." Weidinger also said that Mini is not planning to set any Nürburgring records with the new JCW GP even though earlier reports indicate that the car is a full 20 seconds faster around the 'Ring than its 2006 predecessor.
The new Mini John Cooper Works GP weighs 121 pounds less than the John Cooper Works Hardtop, offers a fully adjustable coil-over suspension and it will have a starting price of $39,950, (including $700 for destination) when it goes on sale later this year.

Mini Paceman modified by Roberto Cavalli for annual Life Ball charity

Fri, 10 May 2013

This year's award for Life Ball Mini designer goes to Roberto Cavalli. The Life Ball is a charity event held in Vienna, Austria every year that raises money to fight the spread of HIV and AIDS. Since 2001, the year of its reintroduction, Mini has been involved with the ball, auctioning a car that has been made over by a world-famous designer. This year Cavalli gets the nod and a Paceman for a canvas.
The iridescent brown/black paint is the eye-catcher in the sketch above (click to enlarge), but don't forget to note Cavalli's logo on the roof. We're not sure what other flourishes he has in mind for the car, but those in attendance will find out on May 24 when it's unveiled at the Cavalli store opening in Vienna. The press release below has more details.
