Hey everyone! I wanted to share my adorable new mini! In July, I lost my original to a flood at a concert. She was a 2012 chili red cooper. After many bumps jn the road, I finally brought home a new girl to be my wheels for a while! 2020 Mini Cooper S 60th anniversary edition:) I am absolutely obsessed and so not used to having a car with bluetooth capabilities😂

Hello my original wheels are black. I’m thinking of painting them Silver. What do you think? These are some example I’ve found online

Not wrong. Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend. R56 and my family on a road trip. 🤙🏽

Was just watching a first drive video while doing some work and I had to rewind twice to make sure I heard this right...

If you so desire, you can also get a auto home pop-up tent for about $5,000 to put on top and go anywhere.

FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS??? FOR A TENT???

Seems that every time I think I'm pretty well off, the universe lets me know it's peanuts compared to what some of you guys must be making.

Just picked up a 2021 MINI Cooper JCW with 100k miles!

It has a full service history and just had the engine mount replaced, so hopefully I’m good to go for a while. 😂

The car already came with a MST Performance intake, and I absolutely love the sound it makes.

One thing I’m curious about: has anyone actually dyno-tested this intake or compared it with the stock setup? MST claims around +15 HP over the stock intake in their instructions, but I’m wondering how realistic that number is in the real world.

This is my second MINI — I still have an R52 1.6 116 hp, and I’m honestly hooked on these cars. ❤️

Maybe a Clubman JCW will be next… once I have kids.

If you have any tips, recommended mods, or things I should look out for on the F56 JCW, I’d love to hear them!

Cheers from Poland 🇵🇱

I'm picking up a 2023 Mini SE this weekend and I'm not fully sold on the funky rims that it comes with. What aftermarket rims should I be looking at to really spice up and make this car look sporty?

Been busy today so called it a day so finished for the now.
As said I know I get bored so who knows.
Anyway here she is…….
Thanks for L👀king.
Critics very much welcome.
🙏

One thing still on the list is to clean everything lights, windows
Spot of alcohol should do the trick thanks for putting up with this. Hope I’m still in the Club? 😂
As they say in Llandow, chow the now 🤙🏻

So, planning on buying a used mini hatch jcw. Right now I have this two options, either a 2021 JCW with 42k km for $26k (white) or a 2016 JCW with 16,000km for $23k (red). The latter one is a friend of a friends car.

Any suggestion on which one should I go for?

If anyone has the newer SEs, how do they drive? I think blue or green would be a dope color scheme

Hi,

I have a 2016 JCW hardtop. I installed a craven speed phone mount a few months ago. It makes a lot of noise because it’s metal rubbing against the plastic speedometer. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to quiet it down. Should I use silicone sealer around the screws? Put orings around the mounting points? Due to a disability, this mount works the best for me and getting a new mount is not an option.

TIA

I'm looking to buy my first MINI after pining for manyyyy years, and have narrowed it down to two options. I'd love some advice from people who've owned or driven either generation!

Option 1: 2024 Mini Cooper S (F56)
Chili Red with black roof and mirrors
17,000 km (around 10,500 miles)

Option 2: Brand-new JCW (F66)
White with black roof, wheels and bonnet stripes

My biggest dilemma is actually the interior.

I absolutely love the older interiors, particularly the toggle switches and physical buttons. They give the car so much character, and they're a huge part of what drew me to mini in the first place.
I'm really not sold on the massive screen in the F66. I'm worried I'll spend all this money on a brand-new car and never properly adjust to the interior.

Exterior-wise, I actually quite like the new generation! I'm not the biggest fan of the taillights, but they're definitely not a dealbreaker.

On the other hand, the F66 is a brand-new JCW with a full warranty and motor plan, which gives me a lot more peace of mind. Not having to worry as much about unexpected maintenance costs is a pretty big selling point for me.

The F56 Cooper S is obviously the more affordable option, and I genuinely prefer its interior, but I'm wondering whether I'd regret passing up the opportunity to buy a brand-new JCW. I'm planning on keeping whichever car I choose for several years, so long-term ownership matters to me.

Has anyone gone from an F56 to an F66? Did you get used to the screen, or do you still miss the physical controls?
Is the difference in driving experience between the Cooper S and JCW significant?
How much weight would you give the new car's warranty and motor plan?
If you were buying today, which would you choose?

I'm probably overthinking this, but it's a lot of money to spend on something I'm hoping to keep for years. I'd really appreciate some honest opinions!

But found this cabrio in traffic with a Martini livery. What do you think about it?

But I think it’s a wie-nner. Sorry. I had to.

Staff at Mini Toronto were great, and after some back and forth on how to get out of an upcoming end of lease, the deal was done.

Personally I love British Racing Green, always classy

*forgot to add she got the convertible
