It's called the "In-service date" and any MINI dealer should be able to look it up for you. I've got a small list of things for them to check, and before I do that I'm going to do a drive-by and check on my in-service date so that I can schedule the service. It was probably yesterday for me and that's OK <detroit tuned here I come>
