Our new play toy!
After having owned and enjoy three Porsche 911’s of different vintages (993, 997.1, 997.2 GTS), I’m now trying a MCS as our fun sports car. Daily driver is a Ford Explorer Sport. Been lurking for a while, doing research, fun to be part of another passionate car enthusiast community.

Details; 2015 Electric Blue MINI Cooper S w/Steptronic Transmission

Options/Packages of particular interest:

0ZPP - Premium Package
0ZFL - Fully Loaded
0ZSP - Sport Package
04G1 - Mini Yours Interior Trim, Off-White
07L5 - Wired Package
0ZWU - Wired Upgrade
05DU - Park Assistant Package
0223 - Dynamic Damper Control
06NM - MINI Connected
06NT - MINI Connected XL
04V9 - MINI Excitement Package
02XC - JCW Leather Steering Wheel
04AA - Anthracite Headliner

Looking for someone near by with BimmerCode who can help me make a few ECU programming changes (e.g., turn off the radio when ignition is off and doors open, automatically fold the electric mirrors when the ignition is turned off, turn fogs on with headlights and keep them on with high beams, etc).

Hope to contribute to this community...

Cheers!

Enjoyment abounds

Thanks, enjoying the car a lot. Loving the cornering and acceleration. On a road trip from Los Angeles to Palm Desert for New Years we got 36 mpg running with the (above-the- posted-limit) traffic flow. This car seems to be the whole package, fun, solid, smooth and economical (when you want it to be). Even with more spirited city driving we’ve been getting over 25mpg. Can’t really ask for more than this car is delivering.

Pre Trip Mods:
OEM all weather mats front and trunk
OEM stubby antennae
OEM center arm rest snap-in iPhone adapted
OEM Wings Black Jack License Plate Frames

Cheers!
