I am the original owner of this 2009 Mini Cooper S convertible. I purchase the car for my wife as a second car and it has been garage kept since we purchased it new in November 2009.  The California Registration is paid for and good through November 2013.  The 4 Year/50,000 Mini warranty will expire November 20th 2013 or at 40,000 miles whichever occurs first.  The car has been driven less then 3,000 miles per year and is primarily a weekend car to go up and down PCH.  It has never been smoked in, eaten in or drank in.  The interior is spotless 10 out of 10 .....as if it was off the showroom floor. It shows no signs of wear at all.  The exterior is a 9 out of 10.  The rear driver wheel has a 1 inch curb rash noted in picture and the hood has a minor pits and scratches that are normal for a car that has been driven.  The car has been maintained by South Bay Mini and has received all of its scheduled services.  The clutch throwout bearing went bad at 13,000 miles and I had them replace the entire clutch since they had to disassemble it.  Mini covered all of the expenses with all new factory parts because a defective part caused the problem.  The brakes and tires are in good condition according to the Mini Dealer as of 600 miles ago.  It is not schedule for another service until November 2013 or 9,000 miles which ever occurs first.


The car has many options including Bluetooth Cell phone link, iPod/iPad/iPhone interface and cable, heater seats, cruise control, power windows and locks.

We had two complaints about the car. first, the road noise on the car was fairly excessive with the top up and second, the factory stereo system wasn't adequate when the top was down. I brought the car to our local stereo shop and spent $1,000 adding insulation and sound deadening material to the car which quoted the noise down by at least 50%.  Secondly, I had them install an Amplifier, new speakers and a small subwoofer.  All of the work was professionally done with top of the line equipment and materials. Everything is completely hidden and looks factory stock.

The Amplifier is an Alpine PDX- 5 - $599
The Front Speakers are Boston Acoustics SPZ60 - $1,195 
The Sub Woofer is a Kicker 10" Solo Baric L7 - $329
Installation and fabrication - $1,500
Total - 3,623 + tax

The stereo is now just right...not too loud, crisp, clean and loud enough to enjoy when you have the top down.

I have the title in hand and am looking for an easy buyer for a quick and smooth transaction. Kelly Blue Book on this car in Good to Very Good (Not Excellent) condition is $21,400, my reserve price is considerably lower.

Good luck bidding.

Mini locks out the podium at Dakar Rally

Tue, 21 Jan 2014

Motor racing is often overcome by dominant forces. In Formula One these days, it's all about Red Bull. Le Mans is absolutely dominated by Audi. Citroën devastated the World Rally Championship for years. And the Dakar Rally is no exception to that particular rule, either.
The Mitsubishi Pajero won the event seven years in a row and many times before that. Then Volkswagen took the lead, winning three years running with competition-spec Touaregs once the rally shifted from North Africa to South America in 2009. But these days it's Mini that dominates.
The Mini All4 Racing team won in 2012, again in 2013 and has just won it again for 2014. Not only did it win again, but it took a devastating 1-2-3 finish to lock out the podium. Over the course of 13 days, Minis won 11 out of 13 of the total stages that make up the grueling rally, at the end of which Nasser Al-Attiyah crossed the line in third, Stéphane Peterhansel finished second, and just five minutes ahead of him, Nani Roma crossed the finish line in Valparaíso in first place. (Of course it didn't hurt that there were no fewer than 11 Minis entered in this year's rally, but still.)

BMW will invest $750 million to build Mini EVs in the UK

Mon, Sep 11 2023

LONDON — BMW said on Monday it will invest 600 million pounds ($750 million) in its UK plants to take its Mini brand all-electric by 2030, giving a fresh boost to Britain's car industry after years of Brexit-related uncertainty. From 2026, the German premium carmaker will make two electric models at its Mini plant in Oxford — the Mini Cooper 3-door and the compact crossover Mini Aceman. The plant will make only electric models as of 2030 and many of those cars will be exported to markets around the world, BMW production chief Milan Nedeljkovic said. Speaking to journalists in Oxford, Nedeljkovic said the company wants to use batteries made in Europe in the new models made in Oxford, but did not specify whether they would come from the UK, saying it depending on the attractiveness of the market for its suppliers. The same two models will also be made in China and exports of those cars will begin in 2024. Also speaking in Oxford, British business minister Kemi Badenoch said: "We want auto manufacturing not just to stay in the UK, but to be the best in the world, and this is part of that story". Badenoch declined to comment on the level of subsidy to be received by BMW for Mini production, reported by British media to be 75 million pounds. BMW will also invest in its plant in Swindon which makes parts for Mini models. It was too soon to say what would happen to the engine plant in Hams Hall, near Birmingham, Nedeljkovic said. The small, fast and affordable original Mini went on sale in 1959 and has remained popular under BMW since it revived the brand in 2001, but its future in Britain has been uncertain for years, exacerbated by fears that Brexit would prompt the company to relocate production to Germany, China or elsewhere. Still, the industry remains on edge with both Britain and Europe's carmakers calling for a delay in the implementation of post-Brexit "rules of origin", under which 45% of the value of an EV being sold in the European Union must come from Britain or the EU from 2024 to avoid tariffs. "The [auto] industry is screaming at the EU," Badenoch said in Oxford, arguing that tariffs on EU and UK-made cars would only help Chinese manufacturers and that more time was needed to build local capacity.

BMW could add all-electric Mini, X3 SUV

Tue, Oct 4 2016

BMW's Mini sub-brand will add a battery-electric variant as the company looks to meet stricter emissions mandates around the world, according to an interview Bloomberg News conducted with CEO Harald Krueger. BMW is also planning an all-electric version of its X3 SUV and may start greening up models as large as its 7 Series sedan, though that prospect is far cloudier. The all-electric Mini will be available to the public as soon as 2019, while the battery-electric X3 SUV will likely start sales the following year. BMW didn't offer specifics about how much those models would cost or far they will be able to travel on a full electric charge, with Krueger only saying single-charge ranges would be "competitive" with other all-electric models. BMW this summer upgraded the battery in its i3 electric vehicle and boosted its single-charge range by about 40 percent to 114 miles. As for demand for BMW's i sub-brand vehicles, US sales of the i3 through September fell 27 percent to almost 5,800 vehicles, while sales of the i8 plug-in hybrid are down 19 percent to about 1,100 units, BMW said on Monday. Meanwhile, word got out earlier this year that BMW may dedicate the Rocketman concept hatchback as Mini's entrant to the electric-vehicle sector. BMW actually used a Mini as its first electric testing vehicle. The Mini E was produced in 2009 and 2010 before giving way to the BMW ActiveE, which was actually a converted 1-Series vehicle. Eventually, BMW started producing the i3. Related Video: Featured Gallery Mini Rocketman Concept View 25 Photos News Source: Bloomberg News Green BMW MINI SUV Electric
