Brief history: “Jubilee” edition (only 150 cars made for BMW Italy in 2011 for the 150th anniversary of Italy’s Unity).
First owner bought it in late 2012 from BMW and sold it to me in 2014 with about 7000 km.
I used it as a road car until 2018 when at about 30000 km I started to modify it as a road legal tracktool.
I upgraded many things over the years and after an engine failure in May 2023 (extreme mapping and not enough cooling) the whole N14 engine / cooling system was rebuilt and upgraded to an “endurance” level by the great Krumm (Thomas Lambertz) in Koln.
The engine is now brand new and has just been run in (about 1000 km) and serviced, ready for next season.

Main ENGINE features:
custom closed deck block for maximum strength and reliability;
forged pistons and conrods;
new valves;
new bearings and bushings;
new injectors;
new high pressure fuel pump;
new spark plugs;
additional double injectors for the bottom of the pistons for better cooling and lubrication (from Peugeot TCR car);
AEM cold air intake;
straight big bore Cobra exhaust;
very safe and conservative map (250 hp / 345 Nm) for top reliability on the Northloop;
3 new radiators: big oil cooler, stock water radiator, Wagner big intercooler;
hybrid turbo from Owen UK (just revised at Motair, Koln).

GEARBOX:
stock 6 speed box with about 50000 km (as the rest of the car) in perfect conditions without any kind of problem;
Wavetrac differential with about 20000 km that works perfect and comes with a lifetime warranty;
Clutchmasters FX 350 clutch with Alluminium flywheel in perfect conditions;
Racing gear linkage kit

SUSPENSIONS:
Bilstein Challenge coilovers (5000 euro) with less than 10000 km in perfect shape, simplified to “one way” with only one register for compression/rebound for easy fast adjustment at trackdays; this kit has been built “ad hoc” to the specs of my car as the best possible compromise between the Nordschleife and a flat and fast circuit like Spa, it works great on both but also on the road softening the compression;
Rear DNA adjustable anti roll bar;
Rear DNA adjustable toe links;
Powerflex bushings here and there;
Corner balanced at 24/7 in Kelberg

BRAKES:
Big front brakes (Brembo 4 pistons from Megane RS on 330 mm new discs);
new rear discs and calipers

WHEELS and TYRES
light and straight Autec Clubsport 17” X 7.5” wheels on brand new Nankang AR-1 215/40

OTHERS:
Liteblox LB20XX battery (just 2 kgs) with Bluetooth cut off and other features from an App in your smartphone;
Water and oil temp gauges;
Wiechers rear cage (bolt on);
Sparco 4 points harnesses;
Front ultra light Sparco seats;
Air conditioning and wipers tank removal;
JCW aero kit;
All interior panels, carpets, radio and speakers are still there for comfortable Ring to Spa road trips : )


This Mini is in top operating conditions, mechanically brand new, accident free, all first paint.
Super fun and fast Ringtool (very easy 7.4X BTG on Nankangs, easy 7.3X on Direzzas or Yokos A052; about 2.50 in Spa on Nankangs).
It comes with some stone chips on the front, on the sideskirts and on the windscreen (as it must be on a Ringtool) but it has been professionally detailed in 2020 so the paint is still super gloss and shiny after a simple wash.

The reason I am selling it is that due to a shoulder injury that needs time to be fixed I risk not to drive it on track in 2024 : (
I don’t “need” to sell it and I won’t sell it off (spent about 20000 euro on it in 2023 for the engine and co.), but the price is reasonably negotiable.
The car can be seen on appointment in Pulheim 50259 (Koln).

I might consider a partial exchange with vintage 911 coupes (3.2 G, 964 Carrera 2 manual, 993 Carrera 2 manual, 996 Gt3 mk2 Clubsport or at least with bucket seats) only in perfect conditions, matching numbers, accident free etc etc...
