    Hello Mini Alliance fans -

    Just had to post an update / pic of the new wheels.
    I couldn't me happier. I am a LONG TIME Mini fan / freak and finally found one that I couldn't resist!

    Bought it from the orginal owner who purchased the car at Bob Smith Mini in Calabasas, Ca... He pamperd it to the tune of 1201mi every year...
    The car came will all of the "maintence" records, and he had few things replaced under warranty. The origninal owner had the JCW Pkg added at the dealership. Even have the original authentication JCW paper signed by Mike Cooper. Only thing is the 2004 didn't come w/ JCW CAI system I noticed.

    The car drives amazing, and even with the basic interior controls (ie; no steering wheel etc) I love it!

    Have a great day MINIacks!

    Fantastic looking MC40 you got there! It is such a great feeling when you know you've found that right one. I had that feeling back in late March. Still grinning from ear to ear! Glad it all worked out for you!

    Welcome and enjoy!!

    Hey Jim sweet MINI! You did well, enjoy the ride. :Thumbsup:

    For what it is worth I believe the JCW kit was dealer installed on your car. The early kits did not get a JCW cold air intake or the JCW fuel injectors. Both of those things would be easily remedied.

    Hmmm, seems like "no steering wheel" might have a somewhat negative effect on how the car drives... :skep:

    That is the only thing lacking on the MC40 no cruise. Bare naked wheel. Wonder if that cruise could be retrofitted?

    Plus the cost of turning that part of the brains on...

    My '04 and my '09 didn't have cruise control and the best estimate that I got back then was $1,200 to retrofit it.
