New 07 R56 Cooper
98000 on the clock, Lightning Blue/White, bone stock as far as I can tell. Interior/exterior in excellent shape, good service records.
I tinker with older BMWs (E24, E28) - it appears elbow room is minimum underneath the Cooper.
I am glad this forum is here - I will keep reading until I have an intelligent question.

Don't think I qualify for the timing tensioner fix, though - unless the parameters have changed. Service records do not indicate it has been done; it's not an issue now - hopefully if I do the oil changes every 6000 or so and keep her in fighting trim it won't be.
Right now just reading and poking around. Slight intermittent oil smell from engine front - oil level remains consistent, no obvious leaks. Crank seal, o-ring, gear oil - won't know until I can get her up in the air again this week.
Bentley on order.

Yea, its does not have the turbo problems, but I would check the thermostat housing and the water pump and if it have been changed.

Welcome to NAM! Assuming this is your first MINI? If the service records don't indicate it, I'd probably do a coolant flush. The cooling system is one of those often areas that are neglected on MINI's. Otherwise, definitely looking forward to those pictures! We also have a lot of free tech articles on our site that can help along with this forum and your Bentley Manual.
