I just caught this at a red light :p



Sent from my SCH-I535 using NAMotoring

 

just cracked 120k, still feels like 12k

 

Funny that I have so many on my '07! So many of you have had your cars for years more than I have, yet I'm catching up with you. And remember, I don't commute--I work out of my house, and the MINI sits in my garage most days!

I'm over 93,000 now. Debating whether to order a new one when the new dealer opens in Little Rock. Do I want a 2014? I'm not excited about the pictures I've seen.

 

My '04 MCS has almost 105,000.

 

You must love your road trips then.

Maybe i'll wait til they hit dealerships to make a definitive statement but I don't think ive even consider a 2014. It's surprising that despite how well the auto industry has been doing the last few years, MINI and BMW seem to be driving the wrong way.

 

Going to turn 183 probably the next time I drive him. (Stanley is his name) He's in the shop for rear sunroof replacement and some bodywork thanks to highway speed road debris kicked up by a chevy in front of me changing lanes Stll original clutch but it's slipping a lot. Replacement parts are waiting to be put in when the hubby gets around to it

 

Yeah, I do, but I'm not sure pixies don't drive it in the middle of the night. The roads are seriously great in Arkansas!

I think I will see what the new ones look like first. I ordered my R56 sight-unseen (dealer didn't even have a photo of the interior), but I haven't liked what I've seen so far in the photos. The front end--ugh! And the spy photos of the interior aren't inspiring. I get the feeling they brought back Chris Bangle and put him to work at MINI.

 

900 miles.

Of course I've only had it a couple of weeks...

 

My 05 R53 just clicked 310,000 yesterday. Sorry about the pic....

 

Turned 313,000 this morning on the way to work!

Let's see some odometer photos. 300K+ is awesome.

 

You extra high milers--what have you had to repair/replace?

 

Window regulator, power steering pump, power steering fan, front axel (cause im low ), ac compressor (cause I got hit by a ups truck), super charger, couple windshields, few sets of brakes, oil, now and then, quite a few sets of tires.

Nik, what kind of oil do you run? They should pay you for endorsements.

 

I run Royal Purple.

 

169000 04 MCS 10 years this November
power steering pump, windshield, hub, motor mounts, bushings, coolant reservoir, window regulator, seat release cable, ...

but clutch is original

 

Just went off warranty....50,000+

 

Bought an 05/02 base R50 exactly a year and 20 days ago, came with 104k, up to 117,400 as of this afternoon. Haven't really been putting miles on it until I started college at the beginning of this summer. Replaced the steering pump a couple weeks into owning it, waiting on the reimbursement from HQ. A/C compressor keeled over on Tuesday, but thankfully winter's on the way.

 

06 Checkmate just turned 115,000 this week. I've had it a couple of months and it had 112,700 when I got it. I LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

2005 justa, 133,546 miles. I've been through 7 sets of tires, 1 set of brakes, 2 motor mounts, 1 battery, 1 thermostat housing, 1 right front wheel hub and I'll be replacing the power steering pump on Saturday (won't stop running).

 

2004 DS/B - 172k

 

Will hit 312,000 when I get home from this trip I'm on. Biggest repair was changing the original T/O bearing at 300,000. The clutch still had grooves on it! Original P/S pump still going but I've cleaned the brushes a few times. Wheel bearing, thermostat, brakes and rotors, crank pulley, broke a valve spring, fuel pump/filter, alternator, slave cyl, P/S fan, LCA bushings, plugs and Mobil 1 every 5K have kept her going. Best car for maintenance of the 20 I've owned.

 

Here you go!
