Hello Mini owners have a question I know I will have to replace my battery soon enough I own 2008 -S Any suggestions besides dealers also same question for tire replacements also when you rotate tires do you have to reset the tire inflation info in the computer like you do when the tire pressure is low THANKS IN ADVANCE MINIINHD

 

I usually replace my battery at 5 years and haven't had one fail b4 that yet .... all my vehicles. Replacing a 2008 seems premature. Battery in my 07 is strong - but I am admittedly low miles.

When I rotate tires I don't typically need to reset the newer active TPMS systems. On the GEN1's system based on wheel speed it was sometimes. If the light comes on check the pressures.

 

battery should last about 4-5 years. yours is abnormal unless you don't drive your mini often - at least 3 miles per day or 10k miles per years.
