Soon to be F60 owner!

Just put a deposit down on a 2017 S All 4. Seems to have a ton of options and I'm very excited. Going to start looking around these forums a lot more, just want to know if there are any things that I should be wary of when taking ownership. This is my first non-Japanese car; I've had a bunch of Miatas and turbocharged Subarus. Looking forward to something a little more sophisticated.

Welcome to the forum. Post some pictures when you get a chance.

You will find that driving a MINI is more fun than driving almost anything else. First thing to keep in mind is that regular maintenance is important. Regular oil changes, check the fluids and rotate the tires and so on.

I mean, I came from a turbo subaru. The importance of checking fluids and regular OCIs is not lost on me at all.

Well here she is. Took an early morning flight from Philly to Louisville, KY to pick her up and drive her back. Have been loving every second of it. Her name is Molly and she has already been coded and had LED tail lights installed. 2017 with 8k miles right now, fully loaded. Previous owner was the owner of 24 dealerships, including a BMW and a Mini dealership.
