Just bought an 2011 R60 - First things to do???

Hello all!

I just bought a 2011 Countryman S with 34,600 miles on her. I drove it and fell in love with it. Now down to business:
The no cost maintenance runs out in a month, am I able to go to any dealer and request a full on inspection?

Some things that caught my attention –
• Small rattling coming from the passenger side every time I accelerate.
• Light grinding sound from brakes when I come from a complete stop.

The previous owner kept very detailed service records and nothing glaring comes up, so I’m pretty confident in mu purchase. I would love to hear from you all in the community to see what things I should be looking out for.
Please advise!

Welcome to NAM, Aric Adams and congrats on your new MINI. I'll let the more experience members speak to your questions. I'll just ask, where are the pics?

Welcome, i am trying to remember from my thread reading. if it was manual for a 2011 the other to watch is the clutch, many threads in Countryman area. Also if you have moon roof I think there was a noise back in that time related to drain.

Please remember we love pictures
