So i have been reading threads on maintance for the r56 MCS and i think i have a pretty good grasp of what is to be done and when but i wanted to make sure. I have about 53000 miles on my 07 and my warning light with the mini on a lift says i have a few thousand miles until its due. now i have had all the fluids changed, the belt changed, the filters changed and the spark plugs done. is there anything i am missing? since all of that is done do i need to take my car in for service when the light hits the mileage or can i just reset it now?

 

All you need to do is reset your service intervals.
Really easy:

Thanks man, i actually know how to reset the light. I was just wanting to know if there was anything else besides the things i listed above that needed to be serviced when the light came on. or what all does that light indicate needs to be done? thank you anyway though!

 

Mini Maintenance Services

Mini Coopers have 3 types of service: Oil Change, Inspection 1, and Inspection 2. Your Service interval display located in the center of the speedometer will notify you of which service type you need. Each time the vehicle is started the display will show the mileage until the next service is needed.

If the display is flashing and the mileage is displayed as a negative you have gone past the time of service and are overdue. The services come in this order, Oil change, Service 1, Oil Change, Service 2. repeat. Service 1 is also known as a Minor service and service 2 is also known as a Major service.

thank you! that is what i wanted to know.

 

100 thousand seems like a long time for spark plugs. i just did mine at 52500 and they were already fouled and the gap was huge.
