Just bought a 2009 MCS Hardtop. Astro Black with white top. I used to drive a 350Z with a long list of mods. Chose the Mini after I realized how economical they are plus how fun they are to drive. 2 words which are never said in the same sentence. When researching it...I also found how incredible the re-sale value is on that car. Now that it comes stock turbo, it's very tempting to start modding it. But given the free maintenance on it, plus the awesome warranty, I don't think I'll be doing any mods anytime soon. Plus, I keep hearing that the car is more complex to work on...so I don't plan on doing these mods myself either.

 

some mini dealers turn an eye away on the mods ... unless they caused a failure (near impossible to prove) they'll warrant it ... I had a huge list of mods , suspension ,springs, struts, sway bars, big brake kit ect ect when the wheel bearing failed they replaced it no sweat
