Picking an '11 Clubman today

Hello all,

Sold my wife's SS Camaro and bought her a Clubman! Picking it up tonight. Seems to drive very well..only 44k miles. One of my several other cars is a 330ci so I'm familiar with BMW style maintenance, LOL! Anything in particular I should be on the lookout for with this little guy?

Keep an eye on the oil an coolant levels. That's about it unless your having any issues.

Very nice Clubman... will be interesting to see who actually gets to drive it more!

Fresh oil, fresh filters, top tier fuel and you should be good to go. Keep the tires optimally inflated and it will handle best. I've found our Mini to be pretty sensitive to tire pressure. Eventually matching up the set of tires is a good thing, too. Enjoy!
