130K Miles On Clock - Which Service?
Hi there
Tried to look in the owners manual for the things and kind of service a Mini R50 2002 should pass when 130K (actually 200,000 KM here)- Couldn't find any data.
I was told that BMW "hides" this kind of info? To make owners go to dealers..?
I don't know , anyway , would love to have the list of services!
Thanks
