Mini

the mini cooper S base is 18k i just recently went to a dealer. and i added all the options costed 24k. and if i did a trade it my 5 series would be worth 24k (only 50k miles) but then I have to pay the spare change from my own pocket...

my 5 series is automatic, and was orginally my parent's car, so i wanted a stick. either than i get a used car and spend the rest on tuning...

It's entirely your choice, but the quality and performance of the 5 series is better IMO than a Cooper S. Resale value on the Cooper should stay high, I imagine, as they are hard to find and rare right now.

If you like it, go ahead. I've also heard that a cooper S (aren't those ones supercharged or something?), was hitting 30k, which I don't think is worth it, but for 20k, it's a decent buy.

yea they supercharged, and i asked the sales if i bought every option along, he told me it be around 24-25k with change.

the regular cooper starts at base 16k.

the little tach on the steering wheel is cool.

Weapon_R, you know he's talking USD right?
