Golfboy666GTI 68 Report post Posted July 11, 2016 A few weeks ago I purchased this Cooper S: Im really enjoying ripping round in a small car again. I believe it could have been a demo from new (had the plate M1NIS for the first month or so) Its a pretty good spec, chilli pack, sunroof, xenons and different wheels from the Mini catalogue. Also at some point someone fitted a Remus exhaust and a Pipercross intake: When I picked up the exhaust it looked like this: With a bit of love: And centring: 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

m325i 709 Report post Posted July 11, 2016 I had a 5 speed Cooper in England, was pretty fun. I've not driven the S though, wondered what they are like. Do they have LSD? What's the traction like? You have the best colour IMO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Golfboy666GTI 68 Report post Posted September 12, 2016 I gave the Cooper S a bit of a birthday over the weekend. New pollen filter, new spark plugs, new leads and new coil pack, man this parts are cheap for this car. I think in total maybe 160USD including freight? Id say they were the original plugs? They still have BMW stamped on them. How often are they meant to be replaced? The car seems to pull better and rev better higher up in the revs now.
