Welcome to the site. If you have the vin number, I think you can go to the Mini site and figure out what the care came with. I am sure you will get more info tomorrow from those in the know.
A JCW intake was an easy and popular upgrade, so don't be surprised if it has one. In either case, enjoy.

Hey there Mr.Coty, welcome to M/A, glad to have you.
Good luck with your MINI adoption.
When you get your new baby, don't forget to build your garage with lots of pic's.
And don't forget to pick out a name for your MINI. -
Welcome aboard
.
Do you know the previous owner was ? They will tell you anything you need to know about your new baby, MINI people are like that. If not take pictures, look for colored parts (springs, anti-sway bars, super-charger pulley), an air filter that's not a PITA to change.
We're all here to help,

Welcome an 05 is a great car. If it has a JCW airbox it could be a JCW, but it is common for people to add just the intake so check it out.

Gotta love that Chrono pack!

Unfortunately I dont know the previous owner. By looking at the pictures i have it doesnt look like there is anything but the intake but one can always hope its a hidden jewel
Thanks for all the comments and warm welcome.

I bought my 05 as a commuter about a month and a half ago, but I started modding things (including the air intake and exhaust) about a week into owning it.
I found the original owner of the car (who also bought it for commuting, but didn't do ANYTHING to it) on the internet. He gave me his old keys (which was nice) but they started the car right up....if anyone in your area might have a copy of your key, I'd suggest an alarm system with ignition kill be your first mod. Nothing worse than your car being driven away without you....
Congratulations, and welcome to the club! -
Luckily the car was transferred in from Florida so its quite a ways a way. And much to my delight the car came in yesterday and i picked it up last night. From what I can see the JCW intake is the only thing on it although it does feel considerably quicker than my civic did considering I assume they put down roughly the same WHP with the benefit going to the civic and weight to the MINI (obviously). But thanks to all on this site you made the wait bearable

Glad you like your new toy
MINIs rule:devil:
