Hey everyone!
Boy I'm glad I found an active Mini forum. So my bro works at BaronBMW in Kansas City and he's going to (hopefully) be selling me their demo Mini S they have. 2700 miles on that bad boy. Indiglo blue, Brit flag on top (fine with me as I am raised a Londoner :)) and every option the car can have except for the sunroof. Very excited. I'm going to trade in my 01 Acura TL for it. I want something small, fast, and nimble.....the Mini is the perfect option I think.
I test drove the S today down here at BMW North Scottsdale and boy was that a blast! They did have a John Cooper version but we didn't take that our for a spin. But seriously, gotta love that Getrag 6 speed eh? Just beautiful. Quiet, and very comfortable. I was extremely impressed. :D
I'm used to driving a quiet and comfy V6 so I was curious about stepping down for a 4 cylinder but I think I'll be quite happy. The thing is a joy to drive and so much FUN!
Hopefully it'll have a couple of things added for me by the time I pick it up. I'm driving back to KS to trade in my car. Going to get the windows tinted (a must out here in AZ), get the clear tail lights, the carbon fibre interior trim, and get the mini fridge for the trunk :)
I'm aching to get back and pick this thing up! The only possibility holding me back is that the dealer needs another S version demo car if they sell this one otherwise they can't sell it. There is an S in stock that someone cancelled their order on so I'm hoping this won't cause any issues!
Anyway, I'm blabbering on here.........thanks for listening!!
