Thanks for that. Forgot about resetting the brake pad sensor. Thanks
-
I've changed brake pads before on other cars but never on the MINI.
Someone told me that I had to replace the rotors with new ones...implying that the rotors can't be cut. Is this a Yetti-esque myth?
If I wanted to replace the pads and rotors with after market ones without changing the calipers, what would you recommend?
As always, thanks

Thanks for all that was done to pull this together! What a great day!
-
What a terrific event! Nice job!
-
Now...THAT WAS GREAT! Thanks for all the effort that went into pulling that off!

Guess I'm suddenly European... I was always taught to take it out of gear and put on the emergency brake.
-
I do my own now. Look for the videos on step by step on You Tube. Takes about 20 minutes and you don't have to get under the car.

In case anyone's interested, the word I get back from BMW is they will not authorize the use of the MINI logo for any reason.

Based on my previous experiences with doing this, I was thinking we might want to approach BMW to use the Mini logo like the BMW Owners Group did.
I went to college with several high ranking execs working at the US BMW - MINI Headquarters in NJ. Let me make some phone calls/e-mails. If not, we'll need someone to come up with some artwork. I'd be more than willing to do the legwork with the local Mini dealers and with BMW/MINI
Having done this before, here's how it goes:
The Harley Owners Group used the logo approved by H-D and needed their permission as well to use it.
I (we - the Parrothead Clubs) did a similar thing with the Parrotheads plate - Jimmy Buffett had to approve the use of the logo and the name "Parrotheads" since it's a licensed trademark to Margaritaville Holdings. That took about a year and finally Jimmy himself intervened after someone made contact with him. Then it took about 6 months to get 350. A record actually...
The other one I worked on was for Oceana Naval Air Station when I was stationed there and took at about four years. The only place you could pick up the application form for pre-payment was at the main gate of the airbase. In retrospect, probably should have passed on that one:banghead:

Has anyone thought about trying to get a Mini Owners Group specialty license plate like the one I have for the Harley Owners Group. Would love it!
This is Virginia, of course. The home of the vanity license plate.

I'll gladly take recommendations for an all season time that holds the road like my Dunlop's do.
Also...I have 205/45R17's and want to widen them out a little. Knowing NOTHING about tires... what size?
THANKS!
-
Anyone use them??? Have to replace two back tires and I'm going to get rid of the run flats for all season performance times but don't have $1000 to do it.
Thanks!

How much for pads and rotors?
-
remember, the oil change lasts for 15K miles.
-
I was actually there and I'm sorry I didn't get to meet you all. I got waylaid by Crystal - who is Sterling's Rock Star - and had to leave. Maybe next time!
-
Time for the club to meet the Baceman! And he you!
I have a ton of errands but I'll stop in to say hi.:rock:
-
Sure hope the weather is warmer!
-

Was it you???
