2006 MCS 65k service

[tgreene73]

I am about 500 miles away from the 65k service and am just wondering what it consists of . I have an extended warranty from mini but always am asked to spend extra money on something or another by the dealer.

At what mileage was the last service done and what type was it ... Oil or Inspection?

Sounds like Inspection 2. It's going to be expensive, but essentially looks to be a major tune-up. Should include replacing spark plugs, alternator belts, all filters (note: you should also consider replacing the fuel filter even though that is not on a service schedule) and most fluids. You should also consider replacing brake fluid.

You may save some money by bringing your own parts, or using an aftermarket MINI specialist. But I would recommend somebody who knows MINIs and not your normal general mechanic (though some may be very good).
