When I priced an E70 replacement, msrp was north of $75k. Since I never carry any passengers, I also began to question my need for another SAV. While I was at my local BMW dealer, I walked over to the Mini showroom. Just for the hell of it, I test drove an '07 Cooper S. I was instantly hooked...reminded me of my 1974 2002tii. After the test drive, I ordered one.
Talk about apples & oranges...my wife thinks I've lost my mind, and time will tell if I have... but at half the price, and with a pretty big fun factor, it should be interesting.

Hey don't feel bad i just picked up an 06 R53 MCS (Cooper S) demo with 4300 miles. I test drove the 07 R56 MCS, but I personally prefer the last gen models to the revised 07 cars.
Ironically enough I feel the same way about the E70. After dusting off (and I mean thoroughly) a Cayenne S last weekend on the turnpike, and no real problems (TSB for the telematics unit) for bluetooth pairing issues, I am satisfied as ever.
That being said I will proudly stick with my E53 for now.
