They are turbo now. Now longer a BMW engine, think Puegot? :scratch:

I was watching that street tuner challenge on Speed. They threw an arse load of money at one. New engine internals and big turbo with a custom plenum and the car made like 18 more Hp :rlaugh: something like 173 wheel hp :rlaugh: :nonono: I belive the Focus beat it :shrug:

My bad, thought it was ALL Peugeot.

From Edmunds:

BMW will work with French carmaker PSA Peugeot Citroën to produce a new family of small four-cylinder gasoline engines that will power the next-generation (08) Minis as well as future Peugeot and Citroën models.


Anyway, id pimp a Mini as a dd :shrug: Just never to replace a Stang :(
 
hmmm must be peugeot then... interesting

ya id love to have had both, but i just got outta college with 75 grand in loans and even the insurance and gas woulda killed some of my opportunity to pay back....schools more imortant ya know.

need something new that i can baby for many years to come...
 
Makes sense to me and I guess out of the $22K cars out there that is one of the better choices..... while its under warrenty. I like BMW and have had several but I will NEVER own one out of warrenty again.

But a nice education will allow you to get whatever you want down the road :nice: :cheers:
 
So whats the deal? Car looks nice Ryan!

Did u sell the exploder?

Is this your primary car?

whats with the 4.6 PI car in teh sig?

yes...

no.. ranger is. ill drive the 5.0 when its nice and all. ranger when its not. ranger is now just work truck..now..my daily driver.

this time next year i hope to have bought a 4.6 GT is why.
 
arent mini coopers made by Jaguar?

Ryan the car looks good for the money. is it 5spd or auto tranny?

auto :(

nope, BMW.

If it was a Jaguar, it would be a Ford, which might make it more well received :shrug:

Nice pick up, Ryan. I wish I could find something for $1500 that isnt a tired, hacked up piece of junk.

thanks. i like it..now..if title will get out of probate i can drive it! :(

are you sure about that? I thought BMW was a german company? I know that the mini's even the states side versions are produced by an english corporation.

They are also developed by Peugeot/Citron (sp?)
Mini used to be a company in itself but the new one was brought out by BMW. The last engine was a S/C Bmw powerplant and the new one is now turbo and a BMW/Peugeot powerplant.
 
IIRC they are...205/65/15 :notnice: id like some ponys for stock wheels..or depending what way i go with this vert..5 lug and polished 99 cobras :drool:

:rlaugh: those tail pipes crack me up! all in all, doesn't look to be too bad of a ride at all! nice find! btw, i just ordered a set of saleen sc wheels so my ponies will be needing a new home. i'll let them go pretty dang cheap too. shoot me a pm if ya want them.
