Hello Everybody, My name is Justin, i just recently bought a 05' R53 in Dark Silver and a 6-speed. Not sure which "packages" it has but I LOVE it. I got a GREAT deal on my car, it has 85k miles on it and needed a tune up so I talked the salesman out of $2K since her didn't want to do the maintenance for me. So far I've done plugs, wires, oil changed to Royal Purple 5-30, new brake pads, and made my own "temporary" short ram intake (while temps are still cool). This week I got brave and put on a WMW 16% pulley package, dropped the engine on my fingers in the process, with more new plugs and a belt. All I have to say is WOW...And I LOVE MY MINI!!
Welcome Aboard! Look at making your own JCW type box with getting the air from the cowl. Nice cool air.

:cornut: Very Nice R53. In the photos, is it leaning or am I having another TIA( transient ischemic attack=temporary intermittent MINI :lol: stroke)? Jason
It was definitely leaning towards the water...lol! That is at an abandoned boat launch near my house! The car is on a pretty steep grade...
