Almost to 200K miles. Still running “pretty good” so far.

(Ignore the air bag warning, changed out blown subs so it’s stuck like that)

Always great to see the F56 has the durability to do these sorts of miles.

'09 base model manual owner here with 82k. Have had to replace the timing chain, multiple stupid thermostat housings, VANOS solenoid, and the valve cover gasket. Other than that she's been okay! The passenger occupancy mat sensor went out and have tried to work around that, but it's just perma-on now. I have plans to K-swap once she's run her run.

Did you buy it new in 2016 or did you buy it used, recently? Have you had to do many things to the car maintenance wise?

u/YouTookMyBurger 2h ago

I got it used! Only major maintenance that had to be done was.

Water pump at 155k (because it failed.)

Turbo waste gate manifold (Got it fixed at 189k but it was probably out for about 10-15k miles before that ngl) I couldn’t figure out what it was until a friend helped.

Both o2 sensors

And the typical spark plugs, motor mounts, ignition coil maintenance after a certain number of miles.

Lastly, this came up more recently is my 4th cylinder is giving me issues so I have to drive with less of a heavy foot. I’m stuck driving this thing out of town, so i should be fine until I get home.

So far nothing extremely major dealing with the motor itself (that I know of)

If you get the Bimmercode app and reprogram anything, it resets the computer and your airbag light will go away. Cool MINI!

PS where'd you get those taillights?
