I'm Selling my 2004 Mini Cooper base model. Here is the good as follows I bought this car back in March of 2013 I never got to drive the car. The car was in bad shape and needed a lot of work but I had a 2002 mini cooper base model which I lost the engine to water so I took all parts from one to the other and many new parts also resulting into a lot of money. I bought the car for $5500.00 and here is the list
Installed Spot mirrors $5.33

As you can see lots of work was done to the car for a total of $5892.99 Plus Buying the car for $5500.00 A total of my investment $11,392.99 way over what the car is worth.
Here is the bad now I had the car at a shop and was told it need a trans since the car wouldn't get out of first gear so as you can see I had the trans replaced 3 times all with the same problem so I had the car taken to a mini dealer and was told the computer in the car is the wrong computer since the car will not get out of first gear and was told that I need a new computer so I bought a used computer and it seems you need it programed to the car and since I put that one in I knocked out the other computer so now the car will not start at all. I was told a new computer was $1500.00 plus programing and install time looking at $2000.00 total to do the job but not 100 percent to fix all problems so at this time I have bought another mini and decided to sell this one. This car has to be towed since the car will not start and drive due to the computer has to be programmed. The car has all options looking for a fair price for the car since I have over $11,000 invested plus my time. Thanks for looking and good luck.

Mini announces thoroughly modern engines and chassis for 2014 Cooper

Sun, 29 Sep 2013

The 2014 Cooper will come with a three-cylinder engine and the Cooper S will get a 2.0-liter four-cylinder, both with Mini's TwinPower turbochargers.
We have seen spy photos of the all-new Mini Cooper. We have been teased about its drivetrain. Now we have the engine details confirmed by BMW.

This Mini just set a very long Nurburgring lap record

Fri, Nov 4 2016

The video above is 45 minutes long. You probably won't watch the whole thing. It documents what is possibly the least visually exciting and most impressive Nurburgring record ever, with a Chinese driver keeping a Mini Cooper on two wheels for the entirety of a Nordschleife lap. That's 12.9 miles at a blistering average speed of 17 mph. The number of support vehicles seen on track, some of which pass the Mini at various points, highlights just how nonstandard this lap is. A Mercedes van trailing behind stops at one point and then catches back up shortly after. This is an endurance run more than anything. Credit of course goes to the skilled driver, who had to balance the car on its left wheels while enduring the pain of leaning at a steep angle. For 45 minutes. The car was specially prepped, with things like a welded diff and an airless left front tire (it looks like something off a fork lift) helping it steer, propel, and support the car. Bridge to Gantry's Dale Lomas was there to witness the leisurely event, and he has all of the details, including what was done to the car and what it was like to travel from viewing location to viewing location to witness the same lap. The driver, Han Yue, is an expert at manhandling Minis. He's the guy with the Guinness record for the tightest parallel-parking job (not to be confused with the tightest reverse parallel park) and also set with a driver in an M4 doing donuts around his up-on-two-wheels Cooper. We find it extremely fitting that the car for this latest record was plastered with Red Bull decals. You know, the wings?

Next Mini Convertible spotted on flatbed truck

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

Mini is well underway testing the third-generation of its four-place Cooper Convertible, as evidenced by these photos, showing the new droptop riding along on a flatbed.
Codenamed the F57 - as opposed to the "F56" designation for the Hardtop - the Convertible will ride on the same UKL front-drive architecture that will underpin its hardtop brother, not to mention its German cousins, the BMW 1 Series GT and X1. According to our spies, it'll share more than a few of the BMW i's lightweight technologies and will include such advanced features as electronically adjustable dampers. That seems like some high-dollar tech for a droptop Mini, but we'd be quite happy to see it arrive all the same.
From the beltline down, we can expect the Convertible to feature almost identical styling to the Hardtop. Based on the spy photos, there's not a lot to see above the belt line, either. The roof carries roughly the same shape, and will probably fold in a similar Z-pattern to the current canvas top.
