Had a chance for much needed wash. Washed version.
I had them painted before, but it was way too dark and never was a fan of the really smoked tail lights. Couldnt see much when in reversed so i went with the Laminx. In the pix it looks quite dark but is not and probably due to the dusk setting. I used the lighest Lamin x, the tint version so only 6%

Nice puddle lights. Installed mine about a month ago. Don't know if you know that you can move the MINI logo around. Just pull out the holder of the logo and use a brand new pencil eraser end to spin it in the housing. Lined mine up so that when you open the door the emblem is looking at you.

3/5/15: In to the service department for yellow engine warning light. Thankfully it is still under warranty.
3/6/15: High pressure fuel pump went bad. Mini of Marin did a great job as usual.
Looks like I'll be buying an extended warranty in October when my factory warranty runs out. Per the SA if I had to pay for this it would have been over $700 (yes I realize that's dealer prices but an independent shop would've been up there too).

28,950 miles on my 19" P-Zeros, and now done with runflats. Put on Falken ziex ze950s in 225/40R19. while the shop was doing the work, I walked to Wallyworld and picked up a Slime kit.
Car handles a different and you don't feel the road quite as much, and 1/2 the DB level

Of course you could carry a spare and a AAA card...

Yes that pic just want's to make you say ouch. I hit one a while back and the rim survived by it knocked alignment off. My fear is that with non run flat and the softer sidewall I am more likely to get to the rim.

Ouch. Dang pot holes.
If you need a new one and cant fix it.

i'm really not a run flat fan, but this happened last february. drove it to the dealer and they replaced it under the tire warranty.
if this was a regular tire it would have been a complete pita.
now that i'm hitting 30k miles i'll have to make a decision before summer on if i want to keep run flats or not.

New tires put on.
Only one short drive so far, but happy with reduced harsh-ness and noise.

My CMS4 has 18" wheels, so the ones I ordered are 225/45R18.

Said goodbye to Chaos.
Realized about a month ago that we (family) had outgrown him. For just me he was great but when it came time for a family trip.....
So I traded him in for a 2012 Mercedes ML350 with 24k miles and CPO'd. But I still have the '65 and I'm sure there will be a JCW in the future for just me so that I can drive like a madman again (not that the '65 is a slouch).
Good luck to all of you and enjoy your Mini's.

Sorry to hear that, wow outgrown a Countryman, must be a growing family. The new ML is a five seater also, correct. Dont think it came with the extra row.
