2003 Mini Cooper S Description

Selling my sweet R53. 2003. Build 03/2003. 150,500 miles. I still drive it every 2-3 days, so mileage will increase slightly with time. Sunroof, Heated Leather seats, 17" wheels, Harmon Kardon stereo, HID Xenon's,
Enthusiast Owned. I've worked hard to get it tuned and sorted out.
I have been working through the whole car with the plan to keep it long term, but I have a chance to buy a used Tesla for a great price and just can't pass that up.
Car is in Maryland. I had the Maryland State inspection done on October 20, 2016. That is good for 90 days. No need to get the state inspection again before getting it titled in Maryland if you do it within the 90 days.
Inspections are welcome. Even encouraged. I am willing to meet an inspector if you want to use an inspection service.

This car has been tuned for 93 octane fuel.
You MUST use 93 octane.
Modifications and upgrades:
  • Tuned by Jan of Revolution Motor Works (RMW) (at a tune day at Helix Motorsports) to produce 210 HP and 160 ft-lb of Torque. Real dyno measured HP! Torque curve is now very flat, doesn't drop off like the stock MINI.

The bad:
  • Has typical dings for its age. Barely noticeable from 10 feet away, but obvious up close. The driver door ding is the worst.
  • Both bumpers have some marks.
  • Scratches across the front of the roof (like someone dragged a box) - I touched them up to prevent rust but if definitely looks like it was touched up.
  • Wheels have some curb rash.
