This reminds me of my Great-Grandfather's axe. The handle has been replaced 5 times and the head twice, but, it's still my Great Grandfather's axe.

If you mean how long do they last before big repairs start to become common, I don't have experience to give a useful answer. I'm new to Mini...my 2019 is essentially a BMW, for better or worse! That said, with care, I wouldn't be surprised for these cars to go well into the mid 100,000's without feeling like they are at the end of their trouble-free life. I hope so, for you and for me!

I've been looking for this also. I bought my 2013 R60 @83k miles, now at 95k miles. Am worrying about the same.

Here is a thread I found that I hope continues to be updated:
https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...on-issues.html

Here is another on stock problems that it might be worth perusing:
https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ms-issues-357/

The 2011-2012 years do have some things suggested as being replaced when you read through those. Thermostat housing comes to mind. Conflicting info replacing N18 turbo cooler lines. I've seen N18 S spark plugs are good for 100k miles, I'll probably get new coils too when I do plugs. Read up on timing chains.

I do mine every 5k, except this last time was at 3k, it was getting pretty dark and winter is right around the corner. I did an engine flush, using Liqui moly, and the oil came out black as black could be. Since I have changed it I have put around 300 miles on it and it’s pretty hard to read the dip stick, the oil is that clean. So far no oil drips or evidence of oil burn, I did put Liqui moly 5w-40 and motor oil saver back in with oem mini filter.
