Remember to follow the unofficial BMW rules...

and make sure you are doing 100mph as the odometer turns over. And snap a photo of the dash while it happens. Well, maybe not.

The other MINI we have, has a little over 127K miles. Both of these started out as Company Cars.


What did you have to do to get the Badge?

Talk to your dealer. That's what I did. Then they got in contact with the U.S. rep.

I have an 05 MCS with 88,800 miles on it... I average about 500 miles a week (about 30k a year O_O), my car before my mini had 215,000 miles and i bought it at 112,000 so I got to witness myself putting 100,000+ miles on it (it was a mk3 Golf).

Anyways, no problems thus far with the mini, it seems the previous owner had the same high mileage lifestyle as I do... I will be celebrating when I reach the 100k mark

Hey!! hold on a second there, i'm at 99k as of last week too! i'm sure to turn 100k by early next year. I'm in Houston and drive my baby everyday to work and back, taking the kids to soccer and just about everywhere else i can. I've had a wonderful experience with my MCS. I've done pulley upgrade and just a couple other minor upgrades as you can see on my signature. the only "fixes" i've had to do is..new brake pads upfront, new battery, new clutch and 2 sets of new tires-that's it. My passanger window is acting up as it won't roll down when my wife drives it, but works fine when i drive it-wierd. Last month, my wife was drive it and the fan wouldn't turn off till the battery ran out. i took the car, and it's been great-no problems. I'll try to take a picture of my speedo with the "100k" to prove it and post it-lol.
