2007 Mini Cooper S - Maintenance Records Since New & Fully Loaded! on 2040-cars
Morris, Connecticut, United States
|
Introduction: Up for sale is my 2007 Mini Cooper S with 113,000 miles. It has a clean CT title (in hand) and has never been in an accident. I purchased the car in February of 2013 from the original owner who had service records dating back to when the car was brand new. I also have all service records from when I took over ownership at 92,000 miles. The previous owner had purchased the extended maintenance program which covered all regular maintenance on the car up to 100,000 miles. Every service was done in accordance with the maintenance schedule. The car runs strong, has amazing handling and I average 32.4 miles per gallon on mostly back roads. I’m selling it because I purchased a Jeep Wrangler. This is the second Mini Cooper S I have owned, the one prior to this was a 2005 which was also a lot of fun. The exterior is in great shape and the interior looks brand new. It comes with the two original keys and also has the hill start assist feature which makes this very easy to drive for a manual transmission. Below are the standard and additional options according to the original window sticker. Standard Features: * turbo charged, direct injected 1.6l, 16 valve inline 4 cal engine (172hp) * 6 speed manual Getrag transmission * MacPherson strut front suspension w/ multi link rear suspension * Electric, engine-speed-sensitive, power steering * 4 wheel anti lock disc brakes * all season traction control * 6 airbags, including side curtain * 6 way adjustable sport seats w/ driver and passenger height adjustment * anti lock braking system * corner break control * electronic brakeforce distribution * personally adjustable locking and lighting * sport button with increased throttle and steering response (this totally changes how the car drives and doesn’t effect fuel economy) * air conditioning with micro filter and air re-circulation * remote keyless entry * CD audio system with am/fm radio, 6 speakers, presets, aux input * power windows with “one touch” down operation * check control vehicle monitor system with pictogram display * split fold down rear seats * telescoping and height adjustable steering wheel * adjustable ambient lighting (color changing LED lights) * on-board computer * all weather floor mats Additional Options: * chili red paint * grey/carbon black leatherette * cold weather package * heated mirrors and washer jets * heated front seats * premium package * multi-function steering wheel * cruise control * sports leather steering wheel * moonroof (panoramic) * automatic air conditioning * sport package * 17” alloy wheels, crown spoke * dynamic stability control * Xenon headlights * Limited Slip Differential * tire pressure monitor * interior surface piano black * front fog lamps Maintenance Records: The maintenance records are listed below starting with most recent.

The car occasionally has the classic Mini Cooper S timing chain rattle during cold starts until the motor idles for a minute and oil circulates. It has been this way since I purchased the car over 20,000 miles ago and has never given me any problems. From what I can find there is no point in replacing it because people report having the cold start rattle come back soon after. 3. The tires should be replaced before this coming winter. I have not replaced them because the new owner may have a unique tire preference based on the type of driving they do and where they live. I assume the final sale price will reflect this. 4. There is one small acorn dent on the hood and minor rock chips from winter driving Summary: This is a great car and I wouldn’t hesitate to drive it across country tomorrow. Anyone is welcome to come inspect and test drive it before bidding. Please don’t hesitate to ask me any additional questions that you may have. The Kelly Blue Book value ranges from $8,995 for “excellent" to $7,632 for “fair”. Payment must be made via cash or certified bank check. A $300 PayPal deposit is required within 24 hours of the auction ending. It is also for sale locally so the auction may be cancelled if it sells. I can be reached via email or by calling 860-790-0892. If you are the winning bidder please call me within 24 hours of the auction ending. All the best, Rob |

Mini JCW Paceman vs. BMW M135i in family faceoff
Mon, 15 Apr 2013Over the last year, we've had the chance to drive two of the most exciting hatchbacks in the BMW family - the BMW M135i and the Mini Paceman John Cooper Works - but Autocar has managed to get the two corporate cousins together for a head-to-head comparison. Just like our initial impressions of the Paceman JCW, Autocar has little to complain about this new 215-horsepower hatchback... until it begins to factor in the faster, better-mannered and similarly priced M135i.
Despite laying down an extra 100 hp and delivering a 0-60 time that is almost two seconds quicker, the M135i carries the same price tag of 29,535 pounds in the UK; US pricing for the Paceman starts at $36,200, while it still isn't even clear if the US will be getting the M135i. Even more surprising is the fact that the Paceman falls short of the M135i in regards to rear seat and cargo volume, and just barely squeaks out a win in the fuel economy department. Scroll down to watch the BMW versus Mini hot hatch battle.
Carfection looks for the ultimate pocket rocket
Fri, Mar 18 2016If there's one thing we love, it's a good showdown. Especially when it's on video, done by some Englishmen, and involving some manner of performance machinery. Like this latest clip, for example, from Carfection. The team formerly known as Xcar have assembled three very compelling supermini hot hatches: two we can get on our side of the pond, and one we can't. One American, one Frenchman, and one Brit. One cheap, one expensive, and one somewhere in between. They all pack turbo fours, of course, but placed in entirely different packages. There's the evergreen favorite Ford Fiesta ST, the Renault Clio RS 220 Trophy that should have the rest licked, and the retro rocket that is the Mini JCW. And there's only one way to find out which is the best. It's a tough contest, to be sure, but lest you think it all comes down to specifications or which one's the newest, you'll want to think again. Because when it comes to hot hatches, all the electronic gizmos and power boosts in the world can't show up a perfectly dialed-in chassis that lets you hug the curves and feel like you're going a lot faster than you actually are. But don't take our word for it – see what our British friends have to say about it in the Queen's English in the seventeen-minute clip above. Related Video:
BMW profit of $2.7B is down as automaker invests to keep luxury lead
Fri, 02 Aug 2013
Despite selling 6.6-percent more vehicles - a record by volume - and posting higher revenues in the second quarter of 2013, BMW Group's profit of 2.07 million euros ($2.75 billion) is down 8.8 percent from last year. Investments in new technology (e.g. the new i3) and personnel, in addition to a competitive market, are to blame, BMW states. But the automaker remains committed to its fiscal targets for 2013, which, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG, Norbert Reithofer, says will be "on a similar scale to 2012."
The BMW brand's sales performance in the first half of the year, which increased by 7.7 percent to 804,258 vehicles delivered, was good enough for it to maintain its lead in the luxury market, narrowly beating Audi, which delivered 780,510 vehicles, Automotive News reports. Mercedes-Benz delivered 694,433 vehicles to cement third place.
