Hi there. New to the forum so thank you in advance for any help.

I'm looking to get a mini convertible for my wife and I'm wondering if there were any significant upgrades in any particular year.

I want to spend between 4,5k and 6,5k (I think). Should I try to get as recent a model as possible but lower spec or is it fine to go older but higher spec?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

we have owned our mini for a few months and WOULD NOT buy another its JUNK already spend over 1200.00 and it still has problems its an 08 it seems that when they put this car together they used any part they had left over the motor is work for the car for starters when we buy another car it will not be a german car

I wish you'd buy a keyboard with full stops and commas too :big_grin:

My main issue with Minis is that they are made from cheap shoddy components. BMW is ran by accountants who just want everything as cheaply as possible. This isn't good for a 'premium' manufacturer and has lost me as a future customer.
