This car is for sale! It is a one of a kind 2005 Mini Cooper John Works DINAN S custom rally car! If you are looking for factory this is NOT it! This car has been custom rebuilt to become one with the road. it corners like it's on rails! It will blow the paint off anyone that tries to take up too much space! It is Supercharged and has been retrofitted with an ALTA Intercooler air diverter and air intake system with an ALTA reusable foam cone high intake performance filter. It has custom DINAN free flow exhaust and DINAN Stage 3 Engine Software
Stage 3 Engine Software is for use with the Dinan High Flow Cowl Induction Intake, optimizing performance and drivability. a new chipset to allow for a higher air to gas ratio for higher performance. This decreases the gas miliage of course but it still gets 25 MPG city and 28-35 MPG highway depending on if you go the speed limit or not....silly, its 28 MPG at best if you're doing it right! lol! The wheels are 18" Breyton GTS-R aluminum alloy, black with red stripe. They have been moderately cambered to provide even more stability when you are taking a curve going through the gorge at 100 MPH! The exact specs on this are as follow: please enlarge photo of spec sheet because it"s a LOT of numbers and data! i'll gladly email you a scan of the spec sheet. The suspension has been retrofitted by DINAN with Stage 1 and 2 suspension kits which include shocks overcoils and rollbars...more info here...http://www.dinancars.com/shop/D190-5312K-Stage-2-Suspension-System-Coupe-2006.aspxperformance  in other words, if you are looking for a smooth ride, this is not it; this car again has been engineered to be ONE WITH THE ROAD. This means that it is not smooth. It is not quiet. You feel every bump in the road which if you are driving the car as it should, you need to feel. The tires are large and wide so there is a bit of road noise from that as well...the suspension is super stiff to the point where you will be "that guy" almost coming to a complete stop at railroad tracks and speed bumps...the tires are also extra low profile so the pressure is very high and doesn't allow for much give in your jaw, neck, or back if you hit a pothole! just being totally honest here..truthfully, this car is not for everyone. im in NO rush to sell so i have no desire to sell to someone that will not enjoy the car as it is meant to be just as i would be terribly  As much as it hurts, i'm doing it because it's time for a major life change! This is the beginning of the photos. I'm going to include more technical information about the customization as i get it all gathered together. This is unlike any other Mini on the road. It's the ultimate performance car. It is, simply put, my dream car. Whomever ends up a partner to this beautiful piece of engineering is going to be one lucky dude/dudette!!!

There are some minor dings in the paint as you would expect with any used car except for one small mark on the bumper where someone slightly backed into it and chipped the paint. It has been primed. The headlights used to be blacked out but our DMV wont allow that here so i replaced them with new HALO LED headlights.There is a small burn mark on the back seat that was there when i got it :( These are the things wrong with the car. oh, it has a new power steering pump installed in August 2013 :)

2025 Mini Cooper SE John Cooper Works gets more pizzazz, no more power

Thu, Dec 7 2023

The new-generation Mini Cooper SE will come with a John Cooper Works edition, but this time it brings cosmetic changes only. The 2023 Cooper S two-door made 189 horsepower and 206 pound-feet of torque from its 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, the JCW version made 238 hp and 235 lb-ft from the same engine. This time, the electric powertrain in the JCW trim makes the same 215 hp and 253 pound-feet of torque from a single motor on the front axle as it does in the 2025 Mini Cooper SE, powered by a matching 54.2-kWh battery. The 0-62 mph time takes the same 6.7 seconds, and European regulators give it the same 250-mile range on the WLTP cycle.  It won't be confused for the regular hatchback otherwise. If the red stripes don't give the game away, the chunky diffuser in the front will. Backing up that aero mod, there are Chilli Red side mirror caps and a Chilli Red roof finished with a hatch spoiler, red JCW-logo brake calipers, a gloss black surround for the grille, snazzy two-tone wheels in a design called Lap Spoke, and, naturally, JCW logos sprinkled about. Those with a keen eye for Mini won't need all that, they'll spot the twin horizontal bars for DRLs, signifying JCW's minimalism and raciness.  The cabin's synthetic leather and knitted fabric gets held together with red stitching. On the seats, this is arranged with knitting above, vinyl below. The instrument panel and door cards wear what Mini calls a "knit covering," stylized checkered flags forming a recurring pattern. For even more red, the driver can set the drive mode selector to Go-Kart Mode, calling up an anthracite red lighting scheme for the central OLED display and ambient illumination. Basically the JCW version of a Sport mode, it unleashes sharper throttle response and a "special Go-Kart sound," too.  Pricing isn't out yet, and we don't expect it until we're much closer to the 2025 launch for this market.

Mini marks International Women's Day with Pat Moss Edition

Tue, Mar 8 2022

Mini is celebrating International Women's Day with a new Pat Moss Edition package for the 2023 Mini Cooper. Moss was the first driver to win an international rally behind the wheel of a car wearing the Mini badge when she took first place in the Tulip Rally — from Noordwijk in the Netherlands to the French Riviera and back again — in 1962.  "This special edition not only commemorates the launch of MINIÂ’s extraordinary sporting career, but it also marks a pioneering achievement for women in motorsports," Mini said in its announcement. "Success in the Netherlands turned the classic Mini, Pat Moss and her co-driver Ann Wisdom into enduring heroines in a discipline otherwise dominated by both significantly larger vehicles, and male driving teams." Moss was the sister of Stirling Moss; she died in 2008. This appearance package includes Pat Moss signature decals on the front bumper (where Moss originally signed the car after one of its rally victories) and dash, stylized tulips integrated into the side markers, sill plates, steering wheel and wheel center caps, a fender decal detailing the Tulip Rally course and a decal on the hood commemorating the original rally victor's registration number.  To the left of the wheel, there's another decal on the dash which might at first appear to be a stylized picket fence, but it's actually meant to look like pistons moving up and down, arranged to look like the letters "M" and "W" for "Moss" and "Wisdom."  Globally, Mini will offer the Pat Moss Edition on the Cooper S Hardtop 2-door, a Cooper S Hardtop 4-door, and a John Cooper Works Hardtop, but only the JCW will be an option for U.S. customers. Pricing will be available closer to launch, we're told, but the Pat Moss edition is limited to just 800 units worldwide and given that it's based on the JCW's existing Iconic trim, which starts at about $40,000, it won't be cheap.  Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.

BMW strategy gets green with future i8 Roadster, PHEV Mini

Wed, Mar 16 2016

Recent concepts like the Vision Next 100 have signaled BMW's plan to become a leader in automotive tech in the near future, but the Bavarian automaker added some concrete details to that strategy during the company's annual press conference. The business promises there are updated i models and more plug-in hybrids on the way, and a vehicle called the iNext could bring an autonomous EV to the road early next decade. Before we see any completely new vehicles, look for BMW to refine its current green models. Later this year, the i3 will get a larger battery capacity, which will increase the hatchback's range. After seemingly endless teasing, the BMW i8 Roadster will finally arrive in 2018, according to a slide during the conference. The company will also launch a plug-in hybrid Mini, but it didn't give a specific arrival date. At the beginning of the next decade, BMW will also introduce a fully autonomous i model. At the beginning of the next decade, BMW will also introduce a fully autonomous i model, which it currently calls the iNext. "BMW iNEXT heralds the next era of mobility," company CEO Harald Kruger said. "This symbol of our technology leadership will demonstrate how we will bring the future of mobility into series production." BMW refers to its research into autonomous driving as Project i 2.0. Just as the initial development of the i models led to better EV tech and innovations in carbon fiber, the new undertaking should result in improvements to networked motoring and driverless tech for the iNext. The company plans to focus on high definition digital maps, sensor technology, cloud technology, and artificial intelligence. The company's product plan for the i range doesn't show any vehicles between the i8 Roadster in 2018 and the iNext early next decade. Perhaps the new model is the fruition of the many rumors about a family-oriented i5. As BMW eyes the future, it still sees the combustion engine as an important tool for the present, and there are still more traditional models to look forward to. Without offering any details, BMW promises more M models are under development. The larger X7 CUV will also arrive soon, and there'll possibly be even more crossovers, too. "We are also taking an in-depth look at the additional potential of this highly attractive segment," Kruger said.
