Do you have any interior pics to show?

Does this Mini have sunroof/moonroof?

The car does not have a sunroof. I really did not want the additional weight… especially not on the very top of the car.

I attached a pic of the interior... it is the only one I have on my PC. The interior is in new condition with Black leatherette.

To start with it is only 2400 lbs in the sense that it <2500 lbs... I took it to a local weigh station about a year ago just to check it out because someone from the club asked after taking a ride... I was just happy to to have broken the 2500 mark I was shooting for...

Weight saving (mostly guessing) include...

A.) Start with A very low optioned car; i.e.; no xenon, no sunroof, no leather, no nothing (except satelite radio and A/C) I never had the car weighed in it's stock form but I'm guessing it would have definitely been somewhere in the 2600 lb range...

1. The Larini exhaust is very light... without hardware it weighed <23 lbs aprox >20 lbs less than the stock exhaust
2. The SSR comps with Kumho tires (non-runflat) net saving 9lbs per wheel or ~36lbs
3. The Header saved some lbs too (~12???)
4. Tubular sway bar (8-10 lbs?)
5. 2-piece rotors (5lbs each?)
6. CAI???
7. 15% reduction Pulley
8. Coil overs probably saved a few lbs
9. Even the camber plates are probably a few lbs lighter than stock
10. The carbon wing weighs just about nothing, definitely a few lbs of saving there too...

I'd say if you were trying to put your car on a diet the bigest bang for the buck is picking the right exhaust (this is the 3rd one I've had on the car, and the others were not even close in terms of quality of material used, e.g.: thin wall high quality stainless). Next, wheels and tires, those run flats are HEAVY and some of those wheels that look cool are 20lbs+ each ... also, bigger is not better when it comes to weight and wheels. Probably the biggest weight saver is starting with the right car... The sunroof adds a lot of weight (up high where you don't want it) and someone told me the xenon add something like 35lbs+. And if you are really serious, you can pull out the A/C.

Thanks for the very comprehensive reply.

I'm curious what mine would weigh in at these days, have the typical things you listed and tried to option lightly at time of purchase (only weight-adder -> xenons). Need to find a scale some day.

Curius if you get $20k, I'm pessimistic about modded MINI resale value. Good luck w/ sale.
