So just wanted to check in on my new membership card for this year. I updated for 2025 back on 01/03/25 but have not yet received my card. Just want to make sure everything went through ok.

For sure if you are going to go that way check out on youtube project mini he really explains just about every repair in mini's and he also has a Facebook group called mini diy where you can chat with other mini owners about all this. Just a little something to think about. Good luck

I truly do feel for you. I have a 09 R56 and I had to put a bunch of $ into her, $1700 to have the AC fixed that was a broken Actuator which requires the whole dash to be removed then I had a oil leak around the valve cover but did that one myself for a decent price also had a coolant leak which lead to replacing the radiator and hoses $1500 but other than that I do the oil changes myself I keep up with plugs coil packs and know she runs like a champ. I felt the same as you at first but mine only has 75,000 miles and I refused to give up on a car I absolutely love. So I do hope you hang in there, I would just take it to GT peace if I were you they are great there and you will not regret keeping your mini. And like me I knew purchasing a mini that I would have to put money into it and just accepted it, I hope you do the same. Good luck!!!!

Try looking on the out motoring site I have seen them there and from that point you can apply them yourself which with some patience and time shouldn't be to difficult. If you have a window tinting person you could also have them do the work. Just some ideas. But yeah I have seen the stripes and many different sites and really they are not that pricy.

Congrats on the new mini and she is a beauty I really love that color absolutely gorgeous. Truly hope you enjoy it and I look forward to seeing this beauty on a run. Rims are Epic

So maybe someone can tell me if they think I will have and issues with rims and tires I just got. So oem is 16x6.5 and offset of 48 and current tires are 195/55/16. New rims are 16x7 offset of 45. New tires are 205/50/16. I don't think there would be any rubbing issues but any comments will be greatly appreciated.

I am fairly certain that would be really great and someone would probably need one of those parts. But I would see what Mr Corey would say.

I wish it could be just that but I do have cold air just as long as the car is cold. I have a strong feeling it is a actuator in the dash not allowing the blender door to work properly

Wow looks like a huge job but there is a lot you can do while it's stripped down to this point and get her running like new.

Thank you very much for your input I have had a couple different people tell me it could be those exact same things so I am going to have the mechanic I work with throw his gauges on it and see what numbers we get. I am just hoping it's not something that's going to cost me thousands to fix. Again thank you for your response

So I was hoping someone might have a idea of the issue I am having. My air conditioning will only blow cold air when I first start the car but as soon as I start to drive or accelerate it goes straight to warm. Compressor is working and it is charged with refrigerant. I was thinking a vacuum leak but if anyone can help I would be so grateful
