Then, if you're like me, you just do trial-&-error to get to where it shows you how many kms until the engine oil needs changing, then the brakes, then other stuff. Sorry - that's not all that helpful is it?! But maybe you sort of get the idea. The manual tries to explain it, but I don't think it does a much better job either!

(At least, this applies if it's an R56, which is the latest MINI - not the R53 which looks the same but is the older one)

If that's all totally useless, post a reply and I'll go to my car and step through it and describe it better.

Mine is a 2003 model...
How do I know if it's a R53 or R56?

When did BMW start the whole mini thing what was the first year?
