I just bought my car with 114k, owned by an old lady which I assume she only did oil changes. She passed away (husband sold it) and I cannot find any history on services.

can anyone please list the 100k stuff

I can do it all myself I am sure(except belts)

what all would you replace at 114k miles.

better safe than sorry.

 

Regular copper? S? Auto? Stick? Year?
Take a look at inspection 2. Do that, then do a brake flush, radiator fluid change..maybe manual trans oil....if an s, then the belt ...not zure what the belt life is like on a non s...

 

Stock mx schedulae is 15k, oilchange, then 15k later, inspection 1, then 15k, oil change, then 15k later, inspection 2, then repeat (15k is an estimate, the computer calculates an interval, but mst do it at 7500). Some items, like brake fluid, radiator fluid are done by # of months since production or last service...
a few items, like tranny oil is considered by mini to br lifetime...most do it sooner..

 

its a 2005 cabrio S 6 speed loaded

 

114k in a Cabrio? I'm not religious, but God bless that old lady.

 

I don't suppose it's red with a black roof and came from Colorado? either way, the best of luck to you.

 

a 57 year old lady that put 60 thousand on in 2.5 years lol
gotta love an old lady that drives a 6 speed lol

I am a fully time truck driver home 1 day a week and I only drive 120-140k a year!

its orange/black

 

It's a beauty.
The reason I asked is because I'd stopped and looked at an S Cabrio convertible with 114 thousand miles last week, sitting in a parking lot with the 4 sale sign on it.

 

thanks the miles scared everyone off, I have no worry about this car I just want to work on it and spend cash on it lol.

someone please help me with a service schedule for 100k+

 

Change all the fluids, spark plugs, serp belt, and don't forget the cabin air filter.

 

I gave it to you....
Two services...
inspection 1
inspection 2
then the extra calandar based items.
A quick serch will give you both inspections, and all items on them...or in the manual...it is online in many locations, and in the glove box...
There is a wealth of info...just go get it...read.

 

Remember, the fluids mini uses are not standard.


The ps fluid is diff..it is a special syenthic...specs on cap..reg fluid will mess it up..
The oil requires syenthicic at the least, if you want the full 15000 mile interval, then an approved bmw oil, longlife is needed...
Coolant is blue bmw fluid, but can be switched to any standard non longlife fluid.
brake fluid is dot4, or other high performance fluid.

 

Hey pal, I'm 59 and have my JCW in pieces, putting it back together with upgrades because 210 hp just isn't enough . . and I would embarrass you on the track driving stock. I guess my point is that "old" is a matter of perspective and yours is due for repair.

 

sounds like you think being called "old" is an insult.
