Been looking a Mini Coopers recently but one thing I forgot to ask is what is the service costs like and what are the service intervals?

Thanks

The first service interval is around 10,000 miles. Every interval after that is around 15,000 miles. The exact interval is calculated by the computer, which takes your driving habits into account.

Here in the states, you get 3 years maintenance with the purchase of a new MINI--not sure what it's like elsewhere. After that the parts can be expensive here--but with such large service intervals costs are kept very reasonable.

I thought it is 4yr/50,000mi for the '07s?

I wasn't sure about the new '07s, so I checked on MINI USA. According to their FAQ, full maintenance is still only 3 years/36,000 miles. 4 years/50,000 miles is for the limited warranty. I believe both are the same as previous models. However, it says the '07 has a 12 year warranty for rust protection. I think my '05 only had 10 years rust protection--or something like that.

I imagine it's slightly different for Mark_N (and others outside the US).
