In it for the long haul

Owned new sense 2005,206,000 on the clock and still going strong.Replaced
clutch at 167,000 2 harmonic dampers due to rubber coming apart,all motor
mounts at 200,000 should have done that a lot sooner,orignal S/C, car just keeps running, change oil every 5k might sound a little much but proof is in the pudding

We have a winner! And the person that sold it to you is the loser...what a waste. Too bad they didn't like the car.

Just dropped my R52 off at a shop with 206,519 miles....hoping I need a slave cylinder and not a clutch replacement.... but I guess 150k+ is a decent amount to get out of a clutch...

Awesome XS! My new F54 jcw showed up on Monday so I think my R53 will only get minimal miles beyond the 225,300 it's at now. Although you never know...

Remarkable mileages. I had severe reservation when ordering a British built car back in 2005. The R53, R53 Minis with the unbreakable lump have to be the most reliable BMW. Mine has 0 problem.
