Odometer miles for your R56 MC/MCS?

Not only mileage, but service record and upgrades/updates

currently I have 10287 miles, only thing i have replaced is the oil + A/S tires non-rf (from the horrid dunlop runflats)

Still purrs like a kitten.

Currently at 10,500 total

04/09/07 257 mi. Installed H&R Sport Lowering Springs .
05/04/07 1629mi. Swapped Crown Spokes for Web Spokes (dealor/factory error ).
05/18/07 2285mi. Replace chrome trim line around the lower portion of the rear bumper. Parts not in stock .
06/27/07 4658 mi. Replace front windshield (rock damage going over the pass )
07/03/07 5007mi. Parts arrived and rear chrome trim replaced .
10/03/07 8392mi. Install JCW Engine Tuning Kit and open up secret compartment.
10/04/07 8392mi. Evaluate engine rattle on cold start. Oil/filter changed and cam chain tensioner replaced .
10/11/07 8403mi. Replace tach face (scratched by dealer ) and fix some interior rattles and buzzing (which they did! ).

Engine rattle has appeared again, ever-so-briefly on start-up... but only once, for about 25-30 seconds. I'm sure I'll be in again somtime for it... but for now, all is well. I know this looks like a lot of trips to the dealer (with one nagging, potentially undiagnosed, issue looming out there), but I still really love the car. It's a blast to drive.

6000 miles since July 4th...

At 2000 miles dealer changed sunroof seals/adjusted back glass panel and driver's side door seals due to extensive wind noise.

Sold the runflats and OEM spoke wheels, purchased lighter wheels and AS michellin rubber (16" set up).

Clear bra added for long term protection..

Currently in thefinal stages of blacking out the car. Tail lights, gas cap, headlight rings already in place. Beltline will finish it this weekend.

Engine all stock for now, waiting for the JCW kit for Auto.

No other issues at this point, flawless...
First oil change coming up at 7000 miles....

If I remember correctly, the part was $495 plus a 1.5-2 hours of labor.

I have about 4,000 miles on mine so far. I needed to take it back to the dealer right away because the driver's side window didn't go up all the way, but it's been trouble-free (knock on wood) since then.

5586 miles since 08.02.07.

Removed Black Bonnet and Boot Stripes 08.11.07.

Oil Change @ 1250 miles.

Replaced S-Winders and Dunlop RFs with Rota Rbs and Kumho Ecsta ASXs.

Problems:
1. Squeaky and rattle prone dash. Rear hatch rattles too.
2. Mysterious and alarming loss of power one night - runs fine now...
3. PB Trim behind steering wheel has come undone - will be visiting the dealer for this and for number 2.

Overall - in spite of these problems - I LOVE the little bastard - more than any car I have ever parked in my driveway.

7,500 miles since early August.

Problems:
Yellow CEL came on - dealer replaced fuel pump
Dashboard rattle - dealer opened the dash, applied felt; problem fixed (so far)

Additions;
10" Kicker subwoofer powered by a 600 watt Alpine Amp
Replaced all stock speakers with Focals powered by a 400 watt Alpine Amp

I am in music heaven to the point where I actually look forward to traffic jams during my morning and afternoon commute.
