Looking at getting into Mini's. Prob. going with a cooper S. I am asking for any advice on what to look for, problems I should know about, reliablity issues. I am looking at everything from an 03 to an 06. Did some searching and was hoping to find a sticky or somthing with general info. If one exsists send me the link.

Thanks

 

Look a 1st Gen. Coupe thread.
You'll find alot of info there.
