My Ride: 2005 545i Orient Blue
So while out test driving several different vehicles, we came upon a few Mini Cooper S's and we found one that we just fell in love with. It's a 2005, Black on Black, 6 Spd, so we decided to add it to the garage. Have been taking turns driving it all afternoon and just can't stop grinning. Granted, it's not going to replace my 545 but it's going to be a lot of fun to drive on the weekends. Same as the hubby, he's looking forward to driving it as well.

Great little car. My wife & I test drove one at the Z4 launch weekend and I would have happily traded our Z3 for one, but the wife wouldn't let me.
Congratulations.
Congratulations.

Thanks all, will definitely post some pics as soon as I get some taken. It's just such a cute fun little

StuB, is your wife that attached to the Z3?

That's why we modded it (now supercharged and a few other things) so it's a keeper now.
