Some of you will be approaching your one year anniversary within the next few months...
How many miles have you driven? ( warranty= 4 years , 50 , 000 miles ?)
Everything going well ? Has anything happened requiring a trip to the dealer for service?

 

13,000 for me, including 3500 in just over a week to MINIs in the Ozarks in Arkansas. No issues other than the thermostat or temp sensor recall which was done at the regular service.

 

Almost 11,000 miles for me in slightly over 9 months. Only one problem: hit a chunk of something at night on the Interstate and damaged a tire and wheel, both of which were replaced by the tire/wheel hazard insurance I had the foresight to purchase when I got the car. Still loving it, but not driving with the top down much during the winter.

 

10,800 mi. for me, including a 4500 mi. trip to the Mountain West last summer. Zero problems thus far...knock on wood

Just turned 16,000KM's. Only had one issue (seal where windshield and convertible top meet started coming apart so it was replaced)

 

Only 3500KM since May 2012...:/
Need to drive it more often

 

It's okay. I'm at 2400km (1500 miles) since June 2012.

 

9,000 miles and one unscheduled trip to the dealer for a transmission leak. Fixed with no issues. I am going to have them look at a speaker problem when I take it in for its regularly scheduled maintenance in a couple weeks. Love the car.

 

I took delivery of mine in May of '12 and have put on 13,998 miles on!

Two issues that were quickly and easily repaired...

First, there was oil wicking out of the sending unit wiring in the oil pan, which I was told was fairly common on early production models.

Then the temp sending unit was faulty causing the ECM to dump fuel causing a no start condition.

Both were covered by warranty and a loaner car was provided!

The service team at Mini of Madison (WI) is the best!

 

Picked up peanut end of April 24000 as of this weekend, only unscheduled service was for parking lamp out.

 

11,OOO Km for the french girl for one year driving.

 

NOREEN....
24,000 miles since April!!!!! Yikes!

 

Not yikes, that's what he was bought for, I drive 108 miles round trip to work, might as well have an fun commute!

 

Noreen...
Love your attitude... Like your style!
Give some details about your roadster...

 

Well Peanut is my daily commuter I travel from Long Island to NYC 6 days a week. I would have loved a JCW but gas here is well over $4 a gallon for regular and considering I have a lead foot the gas in my justa is well worth it (for now after I retire next year major mods).

Small note on gas mileage normally my commute gets on average 31 mpg, during hurricane sandy gas was unavailable so I set cruise control to 60 same drive same route was between 42-44 mpg

Peanut is nicely equipted for a long drive night drives

-Reef blue ( my favorite)
-Auto transmission ( yes I know car screams for a standard but alas nyc driving is tiring)
-Cold weather pack ( guys at work tease me if its above 45 I'm still top down heated seats rock!)
-xenon lights ( mostly drive at night )
-Technology pack no nav ( have iPhone Siri maps are great and I know people say the HK stereo is
a rip off but again I'm highway 75+ top down and it's perfectly clear)
-manual top ( found it to be incredibly easy and a lot quicker than the power operated)

Added so far chrome pedals ( I like shinny things)
Custom head rest, boot shifter and ebrake leather from redline goods to match Black jack side scuttles, rear view mirror and center/door arm rests.

Next up custom black jack stripes.

Like most MINI's we are a work in progress

 

Thanks, Noreen...
Sounds cool... Send a pic ..
I have an iPhone; maybe I should delete the Nav... Will the iPhone maps show on the roadster screen?

 

If your iPhone is jail broken there are threads in the tech forum for display out if not when in iPod setting Siri will give you turn by turn directions over radio. Me personally I would not pay $750 for nav and pay for updates. But hey each his own, most people wouldn't pay extra grand for reef blue.

 

I had a navigation system in my Prius.

One big comment about navigation system vs. cell phone:

When you are in an area with no cell coverage that is when you wish you had a built in navigation system.

I don't have the navigation system in my roadster and haven't seen the Mini's system, but boy I miss the Prius's Nav and blue tooth.

By the way blue tooth in the roadster stinks..............

In the 2013 model MINI took out voice commands and I sound to people on the other end of the line like I'm in a tin can, doesn't matter top up or down..

 

3000 miles

No zeros missing

Sept 2011 build

 

That's remarkable. Is it in a museum?

 

82k on our 2012

 

It spent its early life going round the Nuremberg in camouflage

BMW then gave it a very long rest, it's just found it's new home

I'm currently blowing away those cobwebs

 

Again congrats and post up some more pics when you get it home.

 

Just turned over this week.

 

Nice!
