Hey everyone picked up my first mini on Sunday she's a 2010 s hardtop. 60k on her. I just ordered the new stiffer Recirculator spring. That's all the mods for now. First off hi to everyone. Living in ct if there anyone else on here from ct. After looking thru the forum I wanted to get a list of things to watch out for. I have already seen the service records from mini dealer and my water pump, belt, full time up and all scheduled oil changes were kept up with who ever had the car before me. Past that what are the kind thing that normally go wrong past 60k.

 

Hello,

And welcome. Just keep the oil changes at 5,000-7,500 miles each time and you should be fine. Also has the thermostat housing been changed also ? Some other major thing to check on listed.

Thanks and let me know if you need anything.

 

Seems like ok. No leaks and I didn't see it on the service record. I'll start putting cash aside to get it done soon. Thanks for the advice. Another question how long do the stock turbos last. So i start putting aside cash to upgrade or rebuild
