Introducing myself

New member here, use to be a W203 owner, been wanting a mini for a while and I was lucky enough to find a ride I believe owned by a previous member here.

I found his/her car in a BMW dealership and I was sold. Looking forward to the community. I'm a Bay area local.

Planning to put some of my personal touches on it, but looks like it wont be much since the previous owner took care of her pretty well.

Here they are:

My old Ride:



And Here's my R56

Thanks guys. Will start fixing some minor cosmetics by the weekend. Like some bubbling on the smoked tints for the tails. Planning to get some Tints for the front too.

Get some of the curb rashes on three wheels eventually and a center cap that is pealing.

So far everything else is excellent.

I purchased mine used, but doesn't look as good as yours! Nice find, you seem to have a lot of upgraded mods. What year is your R56? I love Dark Silver, can we see some under the hood pics?
