My R53 has a check engine light on for a O2 sensor.

The rep. at Dreyer and Reinbold said that they are booking service 3 weeks out. I told them I was concerned that damage might occur.

They wouldn't go for it, so my car is parked while I wait.

This makes me think twice about future Mini purchases.

There is only one dealer in the state and I have to wait 3 weeks to get in.

Unacceptable.

 

They are in the process of expanding their service department. They had to wait a long time for approval of the design or else it would already be done. There's a picture up of it in their showroom.
