5 bolt wheels,eh. Had not noticed that before.

One of my reasons for buying a MINI 7 years ago was I figured it would be good in the snow. Always has motored fine for me in up to 8 inches of the white stuff. Good thing MINI finally figured it out:lol:.

2011 will be an interesting year, I understand that MINI is planning to have the Countryman at MTTS in Denver.

That should be fun.

Yeah, 5 bolt, I was hoping I could use the Webbies on the Countryman, if we get one for my sweet wife.

 

:eek6ost Materialist Enthusiast. What the hell does that mean?:lol:Since I was a teenager,I've loved/wanted British(because there aren't any Scottish)sports cars. But British Sports cars are like Harley Davidsons.They break and or need some kind of repair every 1kmi. However,now we have the MINI. A British(actually EuroJapaneseAmerican according to the parts list) Sports Car(to me at least,a sports car)that goes 10's of 1000's of miles between breakages.There's also a burgeoning aftermarket industry that is constantly changing and offering shiney, powerfull,and expensive things such that us little boys and girls can keep our MINI one of a kind.We don't have to spend money on constant repairs,we can spend our money and time upgrading our very own(not like anybody elses)MINI. Also in the bargain,we've discovered that there are even some females that think like us(poor things)and like what we like. MINIs/MINI people,don't try to figure them/us out. Just drive,tinker,converse and enjoy. Life's good! Jason

Other than some fasteners, clips, etc.... what parts are shared by other BMW's?

Interesting article...but I am unclear as to the authors premiss here...
What is he ultimately saying about the Countryman???
