Works with Pepper White car as well. I’ve seen them in person, really like the look. But it’s definitely a limited market.

Yeah, I was going to say that too - possibly solid black as well. But definitely won't work in red or blue!!

The Green Park Edition... STUNNING IMO...
You could order the Lounge Green seats in this car from what I've seen.
Dang that BRG on the stripes/roof/mirrors really "Pops"

Nice find. Can't tell for certain -- does it have the anthracite headliner? I'm thinking no. That looks like a lot of car (that you should grab) for $12.5K.
My only comment is: if a seller is asking a premium price, at least take the time to give it a full detail. I mean, really, this is the best seller can do? That really doesn't present very well.

I agree... the seller, a dealer, should do a detail... so be it... often I’d rather see it this way so I really know what I’m dealing with... and some youngster with a polisher hasn’t burned through the clear coat .
this is kinda like a barn-find without the barn... just the dust 🤣
Gotta remember this car is a low dollar car on ANY lot ... with higher priced Kias/Hyundai/Subaraus next to it... 😜
It’s not a $20k+ JCW R53 ... but it could easily be with a lil TLC. Better than many I’ve seen on BAT .
I hope someone on here snaps this one up ... as Jonny said ... it checks all the boxes...
Would be simple to find maint records on it with the PO doing a trade. Just gotta be willing to do the hunt.
Ask the dealer to send you a carfax on it ... and barring any issues there ... send it into a MINI specialist for a thorough PPI to check it out.
I’ve seen many R53’s without the REAR aero and it’s an improvement IMO .... I’m not a fan of the aero ‘kit’ in the first place ... and that rear bumper is the most ‘awkward’ piece, design-wise, again IMO.
Tose R98’s are the best look in a 17” on this car IMO... nice !!
on this &12,000 car ... I’d do a PDR routine, have a $1000 detail with ceramic treatment... address all the maintenance items that ALL 15 year old R53’s need... and pounce !!
That grey color is begging for this nice set of R56 Redwood Lounge leather seats
It looks like a gem at a fair price for what it is in the marketplace... though that GP1 above, IMO, is much better even with 40k more miles.
Thrasher... it has that ‘full deck’ of switches you like too 😎

Hey guys...
If you all can help keep an eye out for me/family ...
This is normally a model most on this thread would overlook.
Any help is MUCH appreciated.
...
Looking for grad present for hard working Niece
max budget $6000
western location... Cali best.
Turn Key good shape
R52 Automatic, S-model LCi
no Red or Black or purple.
or
Convert LCi R57 Automatic ... base or S-model
no red, black
im not sure in the base model R57’s if there is a year break for engines ... like the N14 vs. N18 in the turbo ... if the Naturally Aspirated Variant Base-model has a ‘better’ engine after a certain year ... I could use some input on that.
I’m assuming that the R57’ all have a good Auto trans in general ... but open to clarification!

Safari anyone?

That is hilarious! But really perplexing at the same time, only because none of the special features and customizations are even mentioned! It's got quad exhaust and a bull bar for cripes sake, not to mention the pickup truck conversion! How could you be selling a car like that with no mention of those things? Fake FB ad?

edit: Ignore all the for sale info listed above as it somehow appeared by itself and does not show to delete when editing my post.
Most likely an ex Red Bull car turned safari.

Has the CVT trans, higher miles needs a 6 speed swap. Most red bull cars from the Gen 1 MINI days are autos, unless it was overseas.. Which means it has the CVT. I remember these when they came out. They came to our local college.

Nice one owner R52. I always appreciate seeing these later R52s which came in 2nd gen colors. Pretty rare.
