New chick in Mini land

Just bought my first Mini 2006 R53. Chose the first gen as preferred the idea of a supercharger opposed to a turbo. Wow! Absolutely love my R53 and wouldn’t change it at all. It’s not standard, exhaust, air filter and stage 1 remap. Makes me want to just keep driving. But I was just wondering is there anything I need to look out for? Anything I need to be aware of? Also do I need to get it serviced more often now it’s modified?

Oil and filters every year or 10000 miles minimum, but preferably every 5/6 month or 5000/6000 miles.
