MINI obsessed now finally a MINI owner.
I am an avid car enthusiast that has been consumed with MINI mania for a few years now. I am excited to finally own my first MINI. I just purchased an 04 S. I was wanting an 06 or newer but found this one recently and it was too good of a deal to pass up. It is a manual with all black leather. The previous owner upgraded the stereo with all new speakers, an iPod adapter, tinted windows and brand new Michelins. I don't think the tires have 500 miles on them. It has very low miles, so after months/years of searching for one in a very mild paint scheme I made the purchase. :D
I really want to keep it simple in the future. No engine mods, mainly just fog lights and a bike rack. I've owned a 68 lincoln continental, 85 AE-86, riced out Honda Civic among other vehicles. This is the most fun car I have ever driven. Pure MINI love.

I prefer to keep it more of a Daily Driver rather than go nuts with a engine and exhaust mods. I need it to be comfortable for long road trips. The riced out civic just wasn't cuttin it. I'm on my 3rd engine with my civic. I used to road race my civic, it's completely modded out with teins among other mods. It became a money pit and I can't go through that again. LOL.

Thanks for the welcomes. I just haven't found or seen a ton of mods that I would like yet. I pretty much bought the MINI exactly how I wanted it and how I would have if bought it from the dealer. It has the black leather that I love. The only thing really missing is some rally lights and maybe a front splitter. It's an amazing little machine. I'm sad I'm stuck in a blizzard and can't be out driving.

Well if you want the cheapest "bang for your buck" is a http://www.waymotorworks.com/02-06-cooper-s-r53/performance/pulleys/] .
After that i just love the supercharger whine so i did a cold air intake. Again, if you dont wanna spend a lot just get a cheaper one, or do a hot air intake for like 40 bucks.

in Chicago here - purchased my Mini 12/23/2010. 3 hours on the road tonight - and the little guy handled phenomenally! and as a bonus; i got to experience a longer ride in one sitting than I normally do - comfortable and non-tiring. i actually liked the sliding out of the back tires on a couple of take-offs! gotta love the run flats
