Holy cow! That's some motoring in two weeks.

Clicked over 20900 last night. Going to hit 21k by the end of next week probably.

 

125k. running great

 

2005 R53 bought 4/1/13.

Just passed 7,800 miles

 

That's still an outrageous mileage for the original clutch, I would be happy with it. My first cars clutch started slipping at 94K and the throwout bearing literally exploded at 95K

 

Glad to see I'm not the only one, 211,000 last w/e, still original clutch also. :fingerscrossed:

 

Wow! 211k with that many power mods and still running the original clutch! It blows my mind that there is such a large variance between clutch wear properties. Different driving styles should not account for a 50k-100k life gap.

 

At 302,000+ miles i am Still on origional clutch too, next mods are the large ones, head, cam, tune etc. everything else has already been done.

Another week, another 1,000 miles. 303,xxx

Goodnews Just past 103k on my 03 cooper.

Bad news, going to strip down motor to find out why I lost all compression on my #1 cylinder while on freeway,(that was not fun) and do a engine rebuild which makes me feel better

 

That's awesome!
What's your secret Nik? Any mods?

I'm at 132k miles, no issues, same ol' rattles.

 

Secret I guess is a long commute, and the usual keep up on maintenance etc. Everyone hates this but I follow the OBC oil change interval, for me its between 20,000 and 23,000 and all my oil test come back great.

Mods - a few: 15% sc pulley, +2% crank pulley, Alta CAI, M7 DFIC, Alta cat-back, plugs, wires, coil, two OCC's, M7 coil overs, M7 strut brace, Webb rear sway bar, forge coolant tank....... I'm sure I am missing a few too

Jeez my dealer makes fun of me and I only average 800 a week

 

Obligatory shot of the odometer, taken by my wife. This is on her 2003 Silk Green/Silk Green R50. She did buy it used with about 67k on it but she doesn't drive all that much. I'm changing oil once a year and there's still about 6k left on the service interval.

This is mine from Monday. ;-)

 

Haha, that's why I follow the OBC, otherwise I would be changing oil every 3-5 weeks

Nik

 

Yup been there twice already this month,obc front breaks and oil change 1000 miles apart. Lol begged em to do inspection early to save myself third trip.

Honestly plan on keeping peanut for awhile I'm glad you posted makes me feel like there is hope past initial factory warranty.

 

129,000 and some change on my beautiful awesome still love to drive it every day '06


edit: wrong mileage! ooops!

 

Makes me feel good to see happy drivers posting.

 

Took this not too long ago.

 

Just passed 30,040 in my 2003 S. I got it in January with 26,500 on it. Super fun car.

 

I gotta slow down, another week, another grand 304,055

Nik

 

Some call it an addiction, I call it a MINI thing. Most people won't understand it.

btw, I'm over 96k miles at the time of this post.

 

I just rolled over 20,000 on my morning commute

 

1,200

 

My daughter's '04 R50 has 147,000 and my '06 R53 45,000
