My First Mini!

Hello everyone, I have always admired the Mini and once I sold my Jeep Wrangler, I jumped on my dream ride! I bought an '03 Cooper S, and it only has 50K miles on it! It is so fun to drive...I thought my Wrangler was fun, but what did I know! Now I find lots of excusses to run errands just to drive! I look forward in learning from each of you! I do have one question for now, how do you change the interior air filter?

Welcome! I do the same thing, before I got my MINI, I hated to drive...now I find any excuse to drive it =)

As for the air filter, go to the passenger side and look under the glove box. There will be a black box/cover, look for two clips in front (unclip those) then feel behind and unclip the other two. You will then see the filter, carefully pull it out. It is about 16 inches long and it bends.

The least expensive one I could find was $40 and it was not the activated charcoal kind.
