New R56 Owner in NC

Hi all, new mini owner in North Carolina

Bought a 2007 Lightning Blue Metallic in March and have really been enjoying it so far. Look forward to finding tips and tricks on maintaining such a fun car to drive.

Congrats and Welcome! One thing that's important with your car is to change your oil religiously, and more often than the factory recommended intervals.

Welcome to NAM! Congratulations on the purchase. You should post up some pictures when you can. We just got in an R56 ourselves. Plan to update our tech articles with a lot more content so if you are looking for some good tips/tricks be sure to check them out and keep an eye out when we post more.

And of course if you need any MINI parts, be sure to keep us in mind!

Welcome, Helix is dead on. We recommend changing the oil every 5k.
