Well as of 12/28/17 I'm a proud owner of a 2008 Mini S with 55K miles. It is BRG metallic with black stripes and roof. I like to do my own maintenance but I understand the limitations of modern vehicles. Looking forward to learning more from the experienced members. Will post more pictures as soon as I can it's -1 here and no relief for a week, and it needs a bath in the worst way.
