Sirus Mini Cooper

Starting with the 2007 model, Sirus Mini Cooper will be a factory installed option. You will be able to get the Sirus radio equipment installed at the factory. The package will come with a lifetime subscription for around $1,000(U.S.). You will be able to upgrade the Sirus Mini Cooper to include the MINI Hi-Fi sound system for $1,500(U.S.).

To sweeten the deal, you can transfer the Sirus Mini Cooper from one owner to the next. The lifetime subscription follows the car, not the owner. This offer is limited to the Mini Cooper and Mini Cooper “S” hardtops that are produced after June, 2007. With over 130 channels of the best radio programs available, how could you go wrong?

Since this is a factory installed option, you won’t have to worry about the console being in an unsightly spot on your dash. That will eliminate the damage from taking the consoles out when you trade cars. The Sirus Mini Cooper is just one more reason that MINI has given you to love your car for a long time.
With the impending merger of the two satellite networks you just might have the best of both worlds.

TPMS 2007 Min Cooper S

The Mini Cooper has been enchanting the American automobile market for several years now. You can look online and find information on everything from how to change the oil to the tpms on a 2007 Mini Cooper S. This information deluge is a great byproduct of a craze over the beauty and elegance that is the Mini Cooper.

The tpms on your Mini Cooper S is not something unique, but it has a nice feature that some of the other automakers do not make use of. For clarification, tpms stands for tire pressure monitoring sensor, or system, depending on who you talk to. Either way it is a tiny sensor that sits between the tire and rim. The nice feature that I mentioned earlier is that the tpms on a Mini Cooper S can be changed from wheel to wheel whether they are the same size or not. Being able to use the stock sensors over is a great bonus. It is expensive enough to change rims without buying replacement sensors.

The sensors themselves are simple to remove. There is one screw on the inside of the rim. It is a torx head, so have your bit set handy. When you put the sensor back on make sure it is flush with the wheel or it will not work properly. Be sure to have your tires properly balanced before driving more than a few miles.

While the tpms on a 2007 Mini Cooper S is not a feature that is unique to this car, it is nice to be able to change the sensors from one size wheel to another. It is really nice to be able to dress your ride a little without an extremely complicated, or expensive, mess.

2005 Mini Cooper

When the Mini Cooper was introduced to America in 2002, there was a question as to its chances of success. Small cars have rarely proven to be popular in this marketplace. Now that several production years have come and gone, the Mini Cooper phenomenon has only surprised the people who do not own one. One of the favorites of many enthusiasts is the 2005 yellow Mini Cooper S convertible. There are dozens of reasons for this, but the shear beauty of the car is the top one.

First marketed at the young, relatively affluent buyer, the Mini soon enjoyed success across economic barriers. This car was not meant to be owned by the suits that represent “the man”. The 2005 yellow Mini Cooper S convertible was designed to be driven by the radicals of the world. Top down, wind whipping your womans hair frantically about. Whoa! It’s pretty easy to get carried away when writing about these babies. Look, you’ve got the truest handling car on the road today, a sweet interior, and every amenity you could ask for. After market dressing can be bought any where. Most of it is easy to put on, so these cars blow away the do-it-yourself guys out there. You hit that key and you get a rumble that makes you want to stroke your….shifter. What else is there to ask for in a car?

The Mini Cooper has taken the country by storm since 2002. Sooner if you count the craze caused by the old school cars from the age of Aquarius. Now you have the Clubman, the Mini Moke, and, of course, the 2005 yellow Mini Cooper S convertible that I tend to prefer. Whatever your preference, get out there and drive it like there is a repo man in your rear view mirror.
