Id hold off on a 02-06 mini s. After owning one, the supercharger, while it sounds nice has its major design flaws. The water pump is build into it, it's claim to never need fluid, but the seals leak slowly, makes bad stuff happen.

The 07+ turbo's are supposed to be a better choice. Much better design, ...still not a honda for ease of work. The turbo's should be coming down in price though. Mini's are a blast to drive though. My wife still misses hers.
