First-time R53 owner! Woohoo!
Long-time NAM lurker, first-time R53 owner - bought it last week and I'm LOVING it!
The previous owner(s) had the Mini extended warranty til January of this year, with all records - well maintained, and real clean! I was specifically looking for a manual MCS with the JCW tuning kit - after tons of NAM research I decided that my preference would be to take the "mostly-JCW" modification path.
I am a bit of a wrench, so the first few hundred miles I've been trying to get over the fear that the PS pump, coolant tank, and crank seal were all going to spontaneously combust while adjusting the cup holder - but I'm gaining confidence.
Here's a couple pictures - if the embeds don't work, the album link is below. Thanks for making such a great forum!
