scythefwd Posted November 3, 2016 Report Posted November 3, 2016 Hello, I'm new here and looking for info before I purchase a mini. What is considered high miles? Anyone rolling around with 220k +? No, the mini I'm looking at isn't near that, but I like to have a LOT of time on my purchases.
Lt. Dan Posted November 3, 2016 Report Posted November 3, 2016 My r53 has 200k miles on it. over the past two years, I've had to do quite a bit to keep it on the road, but the motor and trans have been solid!
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted November 3, 2016 Report Posted November 3, 2016 My 2006 is at around 113k but he's now my second car. He's been pretty solid though without a lot of issues. Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman

Just to keep it on the road or have you 'massaged' more performance out of the r53? For the OP, purchased my r53 at 88K last year...sitting around 104k (hit 100K on the Dragon):top:. No "issues" at all but I have replaced some minor worn parts, which I was expecting/wanting to do anyways. Helps me get a fresh baseline on where there were some unknowns.

Well, in the past two years I've replaced: Alternator A/C Compressor power Steering Pump Power steering fan power steering lines clutch and flywheel both Xenon bulbs all four swaybar links two engine mounts timing chain tensioner drive belt tensioner valve cover gasket pcv valve bypass valve exhaust (rusted out and fell off) Passenger side airbag repair that's all the "non performance" stuff I can think of right now- but you get the idea.
