2011 "S" 100,000 mile update
For those wondering about the dependability of the Mini, I thought I would post my first 100,000 mile experience.
First off I drive a fair amount. I bought the car in February of 2011. I was fairly easy on the car and changed the oil and filter every 7000 miles. I was on my second set of tires and replaced brakes and rotors at 90,000. I had to replace the HPFP, mass air flow meter and changed the fuel filter. I spent about $1200 in these repairs (I replaced pump and fuel filter). I had planned on keeping the car for another 100,000 but traded it in for a new GP.
It roughly cost me about $0.25 a mile to drive my S mini (depreciation, maintenance and gas). Since I drive a lot for work and I am reimbursed for mileage at $.47 it was a good deal.
Now the Mini S was fun but nothing compared to the GP.
