maintenance schedule

apart from oil change, what routine maintence is required?

what is the antifreeze, spark plug life, air filter replacement interval?

are there any unusual maintenance items, such as for the for the supercharger?

none of these are mentioned in the owners manual, but reference is made to the service schedule. Does any one have this???

Actually is does list how often you should change your antifreeze, oil, and sparkplugs in the owners manual. I just finished reading one today. Antifreeze shouldn't go longer that 4 years between changes , oil shouldn't go any longer that 10,000 or six months between changes, spark plugs don't have an interval but, if you ask you MINI dealer I bet he tells you 100,000 between changes as modern plugs can almost all go that long with unleaded fuels. brake fluid should be changed every two years. This is all pretty standard BMW fare other that the extended oil changes.

good luck with yours,

Scott
