1st time Mini owner

Hi everyone,
My wife and I are the owners of a “new to us” 2009 Cooper S. 6 speed manual. 125k. It appears to have been well loved, with loads of maintenance records for many thousands of dollars. No accidents per Carfax.

There is an Invidia


Paint still looks good


2 sunroofs! 😀



Carbon Fiber!, a little juvenile to me, but the wife likes the noise
exhaust which has a nice growl, along with an NM carbon intake, both installed by the previous owner. I was surprised how quick the car feels. Comparing to my 2017 GTI the car feels just as fast, very torquey.

We are hoping it serves us well for a couple of years anyway!

Thanks everyone, got some new wheels and proper summer tires put on. The OEM wheels had snows, which will be nice, in anywhere from 2-4 months. (Gotta love New England weather)

Oz ultraleggera

205/45/17, nice and light must have been 3-4 lbs less a wheel.
