Ah the high mileage club, we've got 40,6xx May 07 pickup

And not a single thing wrong with the car!

Nothing aside from a dent in the boot lid from a tree branch falling during the Santa Ana winds.

I'm so ashamed. Only coming up on 14K and mine is a week three build in '07. Still, problems have been minimal and addressed quickly by my dealer. Love those loaners. When I took it in for annual maintenance last week, I borrowed a new Clubman. Nice car, but it was a base model, not an S. Sure could tell the difference.

Grats! Always a good milestone.

I'm at 18,1k on an Oct 07 delivery. Racking up many more miles on this car than I ever have with any other car.

(I work from home and have 2 other cars as well ...hence why such low miles on my Mini).

Hit 30K a few days ago too, 1500 miles a month - ouch! I am going to hate to see that 36,001 mile.

Had the in-take manifold taken care of the other day, other then that no issues!! Love my MINI.

Another happy customer - August '08 build (last of the 08's) and will hit 30k in a few weeks - no problems at all. The wife's clubman (5/08 build) is a few months behind - she only has 28k so far, again trouble-free.

Low miles

Picked up my first MINI Thanksgiving weekend.
Dec. 5 - Check Engine lite, in shop until Dec. 15.
Dec. 18 - a deer decides to kamikazee my MINI.
Still in the shop.
I have 695 miles on it.
At this rate, I'll never get a free oil change .
