Hello all,

Collecting my new MCS in the morning, and am wondering what mileage should be showing on the clock

MINICooperMurph · Jul 4th, 2007, 07:36 PM

7 or 8 miles

Tigger, Eeyore & Roo · Jul 4th, 2007, 08:19 PM

Pretty much what MINICooperMurph said. But, to add a bit more information:

My original '04 Cooper came with 7 miles on the clock; my Feb '07 registered R53 MCS (although it was built in June '06) came with 15 miles showing on the clock. I've just collected a new car for work and that came with 7 miles showing as well.

Hope that helps.

Tigger.

My last car, a Fiesta ST, had 15 miles on the clock when I collected it.

Thanks folks, just collected the car and it showed 7 miles.

Am now going to play with it all day !!!!

I wonder where the magic no. 7 comes from - alot of peoples seem to come on it. Not really sure how it gets that high anyway?

Driving on/off transporter and into dealer / dealers storage compound and then a quick check run as part of the PDI.

Anymore than 15 miles and the tea boy has used it for the morning buttie run

My Dealer said the car is delivered to their local BMW depot for a PDI by transporter from the factory. Once the PDI is completed at their depot, then it is delivered to the dealer for valeting again by transporter.

I can only suppose therefore that the magic 7 miles is the result of moving on/off transporters, and testing of the car at the factory.

Thought you were out playing with your MCS

You haven't got time for lunch !!! Got to get 1250 miles on it before the end of the week

Congrats on the car BTW

Did a 100 miles today in pouring rain with positive results: -
a) No water entered the cabin !!
b) From the time I collected it from the dealers today and now, had 41.3 mpg
c) Engine appears to be loosening up a little and is more responsive
d) Fuel gauge indicators suddenly changed colour to red and a warning appeared on the computer...thought there was an electrical fault. Bought 9 gallons of V-Power and realised the dealer had not been very generous !
