New Mini Owner

So I got a promotion at work, and my current car is on it's last legs... so I did all my homework looking for the perfect vehicle to replace it, and one that wouldn't break the bank.

After about a month of research and over a dozen test drives, I fell in love with a very special car, the Mini Cooper S.

He's a 2003, grey (I will post pics when I get them), and from what I can tell he's in beautiful condition, I drove the heck out of him and tested for everything I knew how to test for. And I'm pretty sure his name is going to be Mr. Belvedere.

Now for a question, when I finally get the car (still have a little paperwork to do), I'm planning on doing every bit of maintenance I can do. The brakes feel very strong, so I'm not going to bother with that, but here's what I know I'm going to do/get done:

Oil Change
Tires Rotated/Checked
Replace/flush fluids

But since I'm new to Mini's, and new to owning a car with a supercharger, I was wondering what else I should plan to get done. The car's got 54000 miles on it.
