Ok, some history. I no longer work in the industry, but for 15 years I owned and ran a large tuning/racing shop/manufacturer for aftermarket parts for BMW, Mercedes and Ferrari. After that I ran large sales divisions for Cosworth, Magnaflow and K&N. So... I am kind of an aftermarket guy! lol Meaning, I cannot leave any car alone!

The MINI replaced an i3, which was great... but boring. This one is not boring, I love it. It is my daily to the office. Have a very custom e46 M3c (magazine and SEMA car) and a Q7 that was my daily. But at gas being over $4/g in the US at the moment, it just makes sense to drive electric. But that doesnt mean "drive boring!" I hate tesla and have have many BMW's, so MINI it was!

Here is the car as delivered last weekend:
132

2021 MINI SE Iconic, Moonwalk/Black, all the black trim possible from factory.

Today it was tinted:
133

134

Much better!

I have a long list of parts already ordered and will post updates with part #s and the best prices I find as I go!

I know not all want to play with or mod this little "appliance" - but it is in my blood and I cannot help myself!!! lol

All that blacked out trim is going to look great in contrast to the Moonwalk paint. Which set of Eibach springs did you order?
Thanks. We do. I used to have some real toys, but that was another life! Here are a couple of my favorites ones! (yes, this is 2 different e30's)

Its has a v8 from the e90 M3 and is getting buttoned up (eventually)


Eibach E10-57-004-08-22 - designed for the Mini SE and TUV approved in Europe. Ordered from tunershop.
Very cool thanks for that. I'm interested to hear how they fit and feel on your Mini. If they make a big difference I might look into getting them as well.
