    Still waiting on the word from the frame guy to see how repairable and costly this will be..... That said, there's a nice r52 in town but it has the auto..... Thoughts? Furthermore, how well it the countryman s all4 holding up these days???

    My buddy has one of the first ones sold in the country - ordered in Dec 2010 - he's had absolutely no issues with it - has about 60K on it now.

    I would say take the money and do the buy back. Use the extra money for a down payment on a countryman for the family, unless you need it to pay down a loan.

    PS I had those same green eyes on my R50 I had years ago. Loved the way they looked.
