2004 MCS - $300 Scheduled Maintenance at 50k miles

The Mini dealer here says my Mini is do for an oil related maintenance check up at just over 50,000 miles and it will be around $300. Anyone know what this includes and if I can have it done for less by my non-Mini mechanic?

I've not heard it called that before. There is a Service Pack 1 and Service Pack 2 and yes most if not all the work can be done outside of a dealer. Do a search on NAM for the lists of what each service covers.

Few things to keep in mind with a MINI at 50K, it's going to need brakes sooner then later and the S-belt will be due within 10K.
