i'm a mechanic. so, although i dont work on cooper/mini's, it's still in the BMW family

you got a ticker on the dash...a little car with a lift comes up under it...if it's orange or yellow you're fine. if it's red you need service. also, there are several other things that need servicing. if you have a little filter with a fan on it, you need microfilters for the ac system. if you have a little SS looking thing on the front, you need tags. there are several of these, check out your manual.

also, if you have service you'll have 2 maintenance plans for oil changes. you'll have an annual oil change due every year on the 'birthdate' and you'll also have on on say...15000 miles. it'll pop up red when you need service, and it'll be yellow when it gets close.

Do you have any recomendations to change in the engine..I was thinking about putting a better intercooler on it...That couldnt do anything but help..but iam worried about the remainder of the Warranty..
