Yay- no fogs 
Also, can I come and sniff your seat?

Yeah man, extended BMW, so far so good tho.
Run flats will be coming off, proper rubber to be fitted, some H&R or eibach fitted, possibly a remap but with the warranty I may just leave it as is.

Looks well if a little high? But you mentioned sorting that!

dont get springs. coilovers save lives.
It's got the JCW exhaust on it little Kevin, pointless changing it.
Indeed spaniel, springs will sort it.
Ben, do you maybe mean a Cooper S works with the JCW brakes and JCW body kit, mine was a Cooper S that was upgraded at the factory, map, JCW exhaust, intake and suspension - the options and spec levels are vast, generally no two are the same.

Yeah I agree that they are pretty boring, though they are in good cond so I don't want to shell out for new wheels just yet. Turini's? Lol.
Well this is my second JCW, I had an 06 too, super charged version, was far more thirsty tho.
This returns between 28-40mpg depending on how I've been driving it. It's fairly comfortable for everyday driving, it's got more than enough power to see off rep mobiles and most other hot hatches, it's tonnes of fun round the back roads, it sits well on the motorway.
Downsides, the size of the boot which doesn't effect me personally as all I really carry in the boot is my gym bag and my laptop or a few overnight bags if her and I go away for a few days, also the image, I get slated for it in the office.. 'is that your misses car?', 'are you an estate agent?', 'hairdressers car' etc but tbh I'm used it now as it's my second one.
Equipment wise, iPod/iPhone connectivity, Bluetooth, air con, half leather, bi-xenons, JCW suspension which is a rare option but the owner before me seemed to spec this over the likes of the aero kit or JCW wheels or the JCW 4pot brakes.
All JCW options on this car have been factory fitted, this makes it more desirable as dealer fit JCW upgrades seem to have a bit of a stigma attached to them in the mini community for some reason.
As per prev posts the car is fitted with run flats which are horrendous on nothing but dry smooth Tarmac, but they'll soon be gone for some conti sports or the likes, coupled with some eibach or H&R springs like I had on my last one which turns it into a 200bhp go-kart which was on par in the handling department as my old R27.
Anything else you'd like to know let me know mate.

They look better in the metal than they do in pictures.
I would but I don't want to void the warranty.. As you know, they can be quite temperamental.
Regards to it looking like any other mini, you're probably right..
Everyday is a school day..
I am planning a few mods for it tho I'm unsure for the reason of warranty and I've changed my car 3 times in the last 12 months, I may end up wasting money on it lol.

smert.
Calm down talk to Frank..
I'm well aware of the issues you've outlined, as per prev posts, it has an extended warranty, if it does unfortunately break down.

£12k for a 2008 strikes me as overpriced. You can get a GTI on a 2008 for £9k....
Overpriced by about 1200-1500.. I paid 8600£ for mine, tho the dealer I got mine from my folks have a VERY good relationship with, we've had over 30 cars from them.
Full BMW/MINI history, one owner from new, extended BMW warranty, 40k on it when i bought it two months ago.
