July 1st 2015 I bought my 2010 R56 6spd with 100k on it in a beautiful chili red. Since that day...4 new tires (Bridgestone Ecopia), Thermostat, new rear suspension and an oil change and "inspection" done by mini days following my acquisition (5W-30 full synth). Its been a pretty expensive journey so far and now the fog lights need new housing as one just "came off' quote for parts and install is $450 for the 2 fog lights. So in 3 months with the car being PIF @ time of purchase, and then repairs its been about a -12.5K quarter so far...

Looking to see if anyone knows a place in SWFL to have mini work done...i don't trust the dealership as they told me things needing to be replaced did NOT need them after 2nd and 3rd opinions from mechanics i.e. oil pan that has yet to shed a drop of oil

 

Hmm there is a place in Miami called PAW. They might be able to help you. Also if it is going to cost $450 for a new fog light you might as well just get the DRLs.

 

+1. The upgrade kit can be bought for $350-400 depending if there are sales. And install isn't too bad.
