Go for a clear bra! But awesome combo of Union Jack mirror caps and wheels. Straight out of the Italian Job

 

Thank you.

 

Wow! You have a nice looking car...in case no one told you, do get into the habit of checking the oil level on a regular basis until you get the feel for your car.

Congrats!

 

I do. I bought it 8k on the odometer last year. I have put on a cnt catless dp, aem intake, front mount intercooler, m7 strut bar, m7 oil catch can, Alta boost spring, helix short shifter, and a bov. I have been monitoring everything even though I have a 75,000 mile extended warranty. Thanks for the kind words.

Welcome to NAM! Great looking R56. Loved the blacked out headlights.

 

Thanks. I just installed them on Saturday.

 

Welcome,

Dont see too many MINI with the factory Carbra. Most people do the clear bra. Looks very clean. And the R90s on the R56 are rare, dont see that combo too often.

 

I get a lot of compliments almost the time for the wheels. I am looking for another wheel at the moment because 1of them has some rash from previous owner

 

Nice, i would either refinish them or you could just replace that rashed one if its one of them.

bman48, check the oil religiously! I mean religiously! I have a 2010 (N14 Engine) and they burn about 1 qt of oil every 1500 miles.

The dipstick is so hard to read I actually drain the oil every 1000-1500 miles into a bucket with precise measurements on it and measure the oil precisely.

I really feel like the reason these cars have SO many issues is that people are driving them around 1-2 quarts low of oil on a regular basis.

 

okay

 

What I do not understand is why the 2010 MINI Cooper S was excluded from the proposed Class Action Lawsuit? This is the letter that I recently got in the mail:

 

No kidding! That made absolutely NO sense that we were left out of that lawsuit.

 

Looks good

 

I got this covered. I broke down and bought a craven speed dip stick to replace that useless factory 1. I have been checking it every week since the car only drives on the weekend. I bought the car last year with 8k on the odometer and now have 25k on it now. it has been good on oil consumption and when I change at 5,000 miles it has 4.4 in the drain pan. In all honesty I have an extended warranty on the car for 85k.
