Hi all,

Picking up my Mineral White 2015 tomorrow. Found it and grabbed it, BMW corporate lease vehicle with 2503 miles. It has the M-Sport package with Coral Red leather, Ultimate package, Lighting package and heated front seats. Looking forward to bringing it home.

That is really nice looking! Great color combination!
Is that a 2.8 or a 3.5?

Enjoy!

Thanks - its the X28i. Couldn't find a X35i with this kind of low mileage and color / options combo. Plus it's a daily driver - my modded R53 MINI is already faster than most of the chipped i35 drives and will out handle them.

Ahhh, stop saying 2.8 and 3.5 It's 28 and 35 (2.0 and 3.0l engines, respectively)

Love the car. Great color combo, and the N20 plus the 8 speed is a better bet for most people in a daily driver, for sure.

OT:

What kind of mods do you have on the Mini that it will out straight-line a 380-400 bhp X1?

Edit: I see you have about 230 whp (and a Helix-tuned car, love those guys btw). I bet your average tune-only X1 would actually be pretty neck and neck low speed (similar power to weight), and then begin to take over as speeds rise and weight takes a back seat.

But I digress, at 230 whp, that sucker is a blast I'm sure. I want one.

Hi - Thanks for the compliment. Yes it has 230whp. However within the next month or so, it will have about 300whp, maybe a little more - we'll see what the dyno returns. Yes Helix are great guys.
