mini Mini story
My 07 R56 had a clutch at 21k kms, a cylinder head re and re at 24k kms and a whole new longblock (and another new clutch) at 30k kms.
Warranty covered everything, but I spent as much time in a chitty base model loaner than I did my MCS. Sold that POS after a year. Panel gaps, rattles and squeaks, sunroof issues.
A real love/hate - I've never had more fun in a stock car either. I ran it up the duffy to the lake in the cariboo a half dozen times that summer.
Guess this isn't the latest pic of my whip - but I think it was the "last of my old whip" so I'm close
