So we will be going to our first NLS race tomorrow and my dad has bought a parking ticket online. The only information on the ticket is: Parkplatz Parkhaus. And we dont really understand the ticket, so we were wondering where can we park? Which parking zones can we park?

Anybody with some experience that can help us on this topic?

Saturday will be my first NLS race but since im a bit of a RingRookie I just have some questions or advice needed.

First thing I was questioning was, can I take my camera and backpack for with me? And is it allowed to being your own food/drinks onto the grandstands?

Also how realistic is going to a spot like Pflanzgarten mid race to watch? Will there be any space to watch?

So as the title suggests, I am looking to buy an R53. But I was wondering what to look out for, what are the most important things. And what is high mileage? I see a lot of them with around 250.000 kilometers, which is roughly 150.000 miles. But what is a good mileage for the price you would pay for the mileage?

Also any note on what service has been done, what is the most important thing to be done?

Hello Mini enjoyers, I am looking to join the club and get a Cooper S as my first car. I have found 2 cars I like, one is an R53 from 2002 with 170k kms in Chili red. The other is a R56 from 2007 with 160k kms in Laser Blue.

And I was wondering which is the best choice? The R53 is around €1500 and the R56 around €2000. I like the look of the R56 a little bit better, but I cant get enough of the supercharger on the R53. Also mechanically, which is the better? I know they are going to cost more and more, but I want a drivers car and this fits all my criteria.

All advice is welcome to me making my decision!

So I was recently looking at buying a R53 Mini Cooper S, and I found 2 examples that I like. One is a 2003 with 170k kms for €1500, the other is a 2006 with 303k kms for €1900, but it has had a new engine fitted at 190k kms, so the engine has around 110/120k kms on it.

The 2006 one is a Park Lane so has all the options you would want, but is the engine being replaced a problem? And is it a better bet to go for the 2003 one with 170k? Even though it is a bit low on options?

Or should I skip both and look further? Both seem to have a fine maintenance history with everything noted.

I just got a second Select 4 Go to get them to play in stereo pair, but when I hold the Bluetooth button for 2 seconds they dont connect? How do I fix this?
