Roadster JCW pads less than a year old?
Hi,
Just had my JCW MINI Roadster in service due to a problem with the roof not locking into place, this was fixed under warranty.
While it was in they advised that both front disk pads need replacing (At at cost of £200!) plus 2 front tyres (run flats) near legal limit and a replacement wiper (Another £50)
My question is this normal and are pads not covered under warranty? I don't drive it stupidly or apply the handbrake during driving or do skids etc so was suprised the pads need replacing at such a short period.
Clock is just over 9,000 miles on it. I assume its going to cost around £500 when the car is just under a year old, pretty peed off after paying almost 30k for it new!
Cheers!

Yes it's a MINI 2015 JCW Roadster, no one else drives the vechicle apart from myself.
I did too but apparently the warranty and TLC does not cover this as its classed as wear and tear?
I told them I wasn't happy when the vechicle has less than 10,000 miles and less than a year old but apparently its pretty normal on roadsters and was basically told to deal with it?

I am pretty sure you are covered for 3 years/36K for maintenance as we are in America. Call your BMW Customer Service in your country and explain the situation.
I am sure brakes are covered but tires are not.

Yea, they are the same, but i think they have a difference maintenance plan over there and some JCW stuff is not covered.
