F60 overall reliable, still?

Hi Countryman owners. I'm helping someone look at 2022-2024 CPO Countryman ALL4 models. To me, the F-series MINIs have been quite solid overall. That applies to Countryman-specific models still, right? Only difference I can see between Countryman and other MINIs of this era is the Countryman isn't built at Oxford, and they have a transfer system for the AWD system. In searching, I don't see reports of AWD system issues under 100k miles.

Would you put a loved one or friend (that you want to keep) in a CPO Countryman ALL4 and trust it to get to 100k miles with good maintenance but not expensive non-maintenance repairs? I would for F56, but I know the F60 is slightly different.

Thanks!

I have had mine for 3 years now and I had an F56 before it. So far I have had a few things, both the HPFP and the LPFP needed to be replaced around 50k miles and were not covered. So far those are the only major issues I have had but that but I have terrible luck so I would say that was just a fluke. I have a few friends that have had 0 issues thus far with their F60s. The other thing I have done was a frozen front brake caliper but that was simple and not all that expensive. I am at 55K miles now and nothing else is giving me any trouble and no leaks. One final thing is I have recently went Bootmod3 with a custom tune for 93 and e70 so we will see if we lose any reliability.

Thanks. That is interesting about the fuel pumps. I haven't seen reports on that for the F56 range, unless I am missing them. Good luck with the rest of your experience. Do you get the transmission or AWD components fluid changed?

I have not explored that yet, the dealer is always claiming it's life time fluid. I was planning to take a stab around 60k.
