Hello NAM,

I just picked up a 2006 R52 S 6-speed manual convertible. My dad had it since new and only drove it in mild weather, rarely in the rain, and it was garage kept. There's only 50k on the odo and it looks great! I'm going through some basic services to bring it up to date based on time rather than mileage, meaning I'm ignoring the computer's recommendations. I've never had a Mini before and I'm really amazed at the power, especially low down, and how straight it tracks.

Looking forward to having some fun with it although I plan to keep it stock. So far I've done the brake fluid, gear oil, and serpentine belt, and plan to do the coolant, crank sensor o-ring, and possibly power steering fluid. The radiator might have been replaced 6-8 years ago ??? but no actual record of it. The oil, cabin and engine air filters were done in the last couple months. The passenger side engine mount and brakes were done around 33k. Any other suggestions for maintenance? Fuel filter? Clutch fluid (or did this get changed when I did the brake fluid, I'm not clear)? Anything else I should do?

Thanks in advance!
