Oh, Great! Thanks a lot, buzz, now I gotta get off my dead butt.
OK. I'm sure you are attentive to the care and feeding of your MINI as most of us are, so yea, I'd be glad to share some ideas. I, and most do, change oil and rotate tires every 5K. Easy to remember when the odometer has 4 zeros or a 5 followed by 3 zeroes.
My service schedule is as follows:
Brake Fluid every 20K
Coolant every 30K
PCV vent valve every 30K
PS Fluid flush every 30K
Fuel Filter Change every 50K
Plugs every 40K
Serpentine belt every 40K
BG-44K every 6 mo.
I changed plugs last month or so with iridium plugs and they do make a difference.
Just make it a habit to check all your fluid levels on a regular basis, I do about once a week.
Take good care of the canvas with 303 or RaggTopp and use only a dry lube on the scissor hinges.
And most importantly, to make the next 100K miles the best they can be is to always remember: Topless motoring IS motoring at its best.

The same way I do all those other maintenance activities. I make an appointment and my main wrench takes exceptionally great care of everything. It's also an opportunity to visit a nearby full service microbrewery while I wait.
