I meant 05-06 of course.

Thats what Im in the process of doing. I have an 09 S for 7 months now. The TQ steer is driving me nuts. Dont like the feeling of having the wheel yanking out of my hands! I do like the mileage(26+ avg) though. 135 shouldnt be to much lower. The BMW will be my Daily Driver as I have a C6 Corvette Super Charged for weekend and track use. My wife doesnt like the Minis stiff suspension due to a bad vertabrae in the neck and wants something softer riding. BMW dealer offered a good trade in value and think we will do an ED. Looking forward to the new ride.

We have an 09 Cooper S and my wife loves it. I think its a great little car but ours is an automatic.

We really do everything with that car, I would recommend one for sure

Good Luck!
