Time for 3rd year warranty service on our 2014 S hardtop.
This is our last warranty service before expiration.
What service is normal and what should be requested ?

 

I wonder if owner's manual says anything about what needs to be done.

 

That is of course the first item on the agenda.
Tips and experience from Mini fans who have been there is always of benefit.
This is especially so considering the number of problems and recalls that have been associated with the 56ers.

This is what is in the owners manual:

Information on the required maintenance iscontinuously stored in the remote control. Your
service center will read out this data and sug‐
gest the right array of service procedures for
your vehicle.
Therefore, hand your service specialist the re‐
mote control that you used most recently.

you are confusing 3 year maintenance

with warranty ......

these are DIFFERENT

you should get a brake fluid change on top of your basic oil change ... and maybe a set of wiper blades .... but since MIN dropped coverage of brake pads and rotors the value of the pre-paid maintenance has gone down significantly ....

 

Ask them whats due according to key fob scan, ask them nicely what can be pushed up in time to get covered (Hint - try and be super pleasant). And that is about all you can do.

 

This. Oil change for sure, brake fluid may be able to be bundled in, and wiper blades. Brake pads and rotors are still covered if you have a <2017 MINI, but it's rare to see them needing replacing within 3 years/36k miles.
