    R53 Mini Cooper S

    Have decided to sell my Mini Cooper S after about six months ownership. Have started doing bigger mileage and prefer the comfort of something bigger.

    The main reason I bought it was for my fiancee to learn to drive in a small car but I think she would be better off with something slower also.

    The car is taxed until Jul 2014 and the NCT is due on the 11/2014.

    Mileage is now about 84K miles but in daily use so may increase slightly.

    I had planned it keep it longer and had the following work done to that end.

    New Wipers
    New Mats
    New Stereo with bluetooth + handfree
    OEM Gearknob (Conor had a nightmare getting the aftermarket one off)
    Oil Filter
    Pollen Filter
    Castrol Edge 5w30 Oil (Pricy Stuff)
    MSD Coilpack
    Magnecor Leads
    Alta 15% Supercharger Pulley
    Alta 2% Overdrive lightened crank
    Tensioner Stop
    New Belt
    New Plugs (Brisk)
    New Smaller Aeriel
    Six new bulbs to replace high + low beams + parking lights
    New Parking Light Cover (one was broken)
    New Sump bung
    ATE Racing Blue Brake fluid flush
    Aero Grill
    Oil Cooler Gasket
    Steering Shaft rubber boot
    4x part worn non run flat winter tyres in 205/50/17
    Tracking / balancing on the wheels done.
    Sound deadening material in the doors/boot/backseat/dashboard/etc.
    One - Ball Mod done on the exhaust with new hangers.

    Bad Points
    The car only comes with one valet key as the others were lost in the previous owners flight luggage. (A new key with central locking is circa 150 but on a two door car it never bothered me enough to sort it)
    The car needs a good detail and has lots of small scratches on the roof especially.
    One front fog light is out and the bulb needs to be changed.

    Price

    I'm looking for €5,250.

    Servicing was done by Conor Healy on here and I can provide receipts for the new parts bought within the last six months.

    Part Exchange
    Ideally I'm looking to change to a e65 730D or an e60 535 or 530. If anyone is interested just let me know.

    Down to €5,250 on this now. Open to swap offers for a bigger car too as I'll be on the road a bit more.
