The BMW's of IA

[JennB]

2006 MINI Cooper S
6-Speed
16% reduced supercharger pulley
CAI
comp. rear sway bar
lowering springs
tint
LSD
mesh grills on the front
removed and painted the side grills on the A panel black
denso iridium plugs
17" Rota Sub Zeros - flat black with custom red lip painted to match body color
215/45 17 Falken GR Beta 415's
A few factory bits are the panoramic sunroof, heated seats, Harmon Kardon sound system, fogs lights on the front and rear, power everything, anthracite interior and headliner that makes the entire inside of the car nearly black
I also installed an AUX input to play my IPod through the stereo and I have this awesome red glove box organizer (my glove box is air conditioned)
Last dyno put me at about 190 at the crank, that was before the CAI though so I'd guess about 197-200 now. Not bad for a 2500 lb car

Future mods planned:
Exhaust
Software Upgrade
bigger brakes
rear control arms with more adjustment than my stocks
camber plates
schroth harnesses


In the Global Imports showroom


Completely stock, the weekend after I got her (actually, not completely. I had already put the shorter antenna on her)



Let the mods begin:

Tinted and then I painted the side grills black





Replaced front red upper and middle gril with black mesh, added custom wheels



Took her to her Mecca last weekend.... the BMW Zentrum in South Carolina





Yep, she's a Beemer



Under the hood. The only visible mods here are the CAI (it's red!) and on the tops of the strut towers, I have reinforcement plates to help avoid mushrooming



These guys followed me home



Yes, I have a giant sunroof



And yes, that is a reflection of my boobs in the chrome, I couldn't help it!



From the back (All your base are belong to us)



And now... inside....

Yep, I'm a Pirate





Digital climate control thingy-bobber, giant speedometer. There is also an onboard computer on the tach above the steering wheel. It tells me temp, mpg, average speed, mph and a few other things. I keep it set to MPH though and rarely look at the giant speedo, it just looks cool. I also have stereo and bluetooth phone controls on the steering wheel.

Also, the toggles under the ac/heat control and where I operate my power windows, locks, DSC and front and rea fogs



And it all lights up orange at night. Love it!

Nearly perfect for the twisties but still comfy for every day.
