After 3 tries, I finally got my wife a used mini. Not in the color she wanted, but in relatively good condition. 2005 Electric Blue Auto. needs a radiator fan and a thermostat housing and the 60k tranny servicing, but other than that, it's in good shape. I already picked up a fan from amazon and thermostat housing and thermostat from parts.com. Hopefully we can get it roadworthy in a week. I'm going to attempt the fan install myself and let a bmw specialist do the housing as I don't want to deal with coolant disposal.
