Greetings from Finland!
I was supposed to start this thread later with more and better pictures, but I'm just too eager to wait. After 11 years of BMW driving I decided to change to something more compact and cheaper. I kind of didn't get very far and ended up to Mini Cooper S. I almost bought one that was advertised as JCW-version. After some research I noticed that it was just a normal R53 with JCW-intercooler cover and it had also various rust problems ? After that I found this british racing green R53 with JCW tuning kit. I travelled 550km to see it and drove it home. It's imported from Germany 2013 and has about 160 000km on the clock now (100k miles)
