Im glad I caught this thread because I was wondering the same thing (waiting on delivery of the new MINI!). I was under the impression that the car has to be babied for the first couple thousand miles, but I will definitely do more research now. Good thing too because I lack the self control to drive like a grandma for more than a few minutes!
