Mainly it's the oil changes and keep a good tab of oil level.
Don't follow MINI's recommended oil change intervals; they are too long and infrequnent where is causes long time problems.
Make sure you're changing oil in the 4K-7K mile range with an approved MINI (LL-01) oil.
In some areas it's perfect, example would be brake fluid flushes every 2 years.
But the oil change intervals is absurb, especially with all the related failures / issues that low oil & gunked oil causes.
