used mini coopers hold their value very well. it might be worth it more to you to buy new, so you can use the warrenty to its fullest. most used minis are almost at the warrenty limit.. so if any thing happens, you might be screwed..
i've been looking for the past two months and have learned alot..
ya might want to talk to some mini owners at www.northamericanmotoring.com
that.. and its cheaper to buy out of cali .. to save on dealer markup.. california is bad on the mark ups

I know you drive an M3, but $28k is a lot for a commuter.... no?

you can easly get 23-25k for that...
a used minis s at carmax with 35-45k on it go for about 19-22k

I would definitely go for the S for the extra money if you got it. A custom turbo kit is not going to be great for a "commute" car as you will spend more time tuning and fixing it than is acceptable for a daily driver.

or you COULD just spend the money on an S and have the same end result but with a whole lot less work and headache....and something that will probably be cheaper in the long run....
want a turbo car? get a 1.8t or a 2.0T.
