Since I am getting a new engine put into my Mini Cooper, will that change the mileage I am to take it in for service? Will I still have the same mileage I had when I messed up the car? Or will they set it at zero? I think the next time I was to take it in was 40,000. That would be in only 5,000 miles for a new engine.

 

Because more than the engine is checked over at the service, It would not hurt to get the engine checked sooner than normal, the everthing will be in sync.

 

I would also wonder what the warranty is on the engine.

As I recall, people I know who have had engine's replaced (not on a Mini specifically but on otehr cars including BMW) not only adjust the oil changes, etc but they did have a warranty that went with the new engine and associated work on the car outside of the car's new car warranty.

 

I don't know if all dealers do it, but I thought BMW dealer-installed factory replacement parts carry a two year unlimited mile warranty.

Atleast that what they said when I asked about my transmission. Which given my mileage usage is better than the orginal factory warranty. (2 yrs = 72k here)
