How to find out what the real mileage is for a MINI? - MINI2

When I go through the Odometer digital display entries (uisng the DIY/FAQ tip, test 1.1 Kilometer count), KM count entry reports somethnig like 46400 while when operating the car (that is, not going through the Odometer menus) the KM reads 33600.

Is this normal?

I thouht this was a simple question to answer.

Could anyone check, using the odometer display check (in the FAQ/DIY) if the internal KM count is roughly the same as the displayed KM count?

Thanks in advance.

Anyone tried it?

The 46400 reading you are getting is the built in service interval reading. The fact that your genuine mileage is close to that figure is just coincidence.

Thanks MiniGuy,
Indeed, I noticed that the 46400 readign is not changing with the KM read - so I'm now feeling better; first thought I got ripped off.

It would make sense to update the FAQ/DIY labels for each of the OBC entries with something more user-understandable.
