Hi, I'm new to this forum. I'm thinking of buying a Mini S in the 15 - 20k range, which in my area seems to be somewhere '05 - '07. I've heard there were significant mechanical improvements in the '06 but don't know if that's true & if so what they are. Also what about MP3 connectivity in those years? Any advice would be appreciated.

 

05/06's are near identical the 07 S's are the first of the new turbo cars (except the convertibles)
my 05 I use my IPOD instead of trying to burn mp3 discs

 

Hello, welcome to the forum buddy!

All the best with your search for a new mini, I am sure you will find the perfect one for you.

 

Do any of the newer ones have true MP3 connectivity, so you get the readout from your iPod on the dash display? Also any opinion on supercharger vs. turbo, lag etc.? Thanks.

 

there are adapters to get the display I have the I cruze there are others that interface

Welcome to the forum, and best of luck in your search for the perfect Mini for you.
