2008 MCS manual 125k . First engine and wonder how far I can take it. Still drive very very hard. Had it for 50k and never had a carbon cleaning with a smoothish idle (but who's idles smooth either way).

Just bought a 2011 R55 S June 22 with 15,400 miles. Have to say these 100k+ numbers are encouraging!

2011 MCS hatch. Almost 60k. No major issues that have not been covered under factory warranty, or my Hendricks extended warranty. I am in the Jpfugly camp on tires. 8-10k per set of 4, with proper rotations. Yeah, I drive a MINI, so.....
