MA: 2005 Mini Cooper S Converitble - ~105k Miles
This mini is a blast. I've had it a little over a year and while the kids love it, they'll be too big to fit in it next year so it's on to the next toy. The previous owner did a lot of work to it. In the last ~10k miles it has had the following work done:
I added an after market aux/Bluetooth integration with the stock H&K stereo which works well.
The only thing going on with it mechanically is the same thing all R53s with over 20k miles have, a weeping crank sensor gasket. It doesn't lose or leave oil on the ground but the area around the sensor stays a wee bit wet.
The paint and top are in good shape. The interior is in OK shape, the seats have covers on them because they're a little beat up (driver's side bolster has a rip). It's not a show car but it should't need work besides oil changes for a while. I had it to Greasy's garage in Worcester for an oil change earlier this year and they said it looked good!

- Rebuilt supercharger
- Clutch and flywheel
- Shocks
- Brakes (rotors and pads)
- Michelin tires (model escapes me, they're "sporty" all seasons)
- Borla exhaust
- Power steering pump (replaced under recall)
