Hi everbody, I recently purchased a 12 Clubman with 74k miles. It has the post 04,2012 build updated engine and i was wondering if there are was anything i should look out for or do maintenance wise? Its working fine but does it need anything special to keep it healthy in the long run.
Thanks Dwayne

 

Just a correction. R55 is a clubman and R60 is a countryman.

In general, keep an eye on the fluids and personally I would do oil changes no more than 5k internals.

Any pix

 

Thanks for the correction Countryman it is.. I was attracted to the car mostly for the condition its in. Up here the yearly seasoning of salt takes down vehicles far too quick.

 

Nice...and looking sharp. this is the CMS I got for my wife (it was nice flood recovery)

 

That's a nice looking Countryman. welcome to the forum. like stated above, keep your oil change intervals to 5000 miles or less, and always use a quality synthetic. Some prefer to stick with the Mini recommended oil, while some of us use Liquid Moly or others, everyone has their opinion.
Good luck and enjoy
