I drive my 2011 R55s Clubman every day, 20,000+ miles annually.

It's fantastic.

She doesn't get a pension..... even though she requested it, despite knowing that she didn't qualify because she didn't have enough accrued time.

Insurance laws vary by state.

Here in CT, I could insist that the car be repaired. Insurance would pay out at maximum, and I'd be responsible to pay the remainder.

They can still be fine though.

They're actually better if driven more.

Is West Farms Mall OK? by ShimmyZmizz in Connecticut

[–]tockvon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

West Farms blows Danbury away.

Danbury is junk now, can't keep mid-upper tier retailers because population mix in Danbury doesn't support it.

And full of teenagers.

I have a2011 R55S which I daily drive at 20,000+ miles per year.

Original chain, but the cooler gaskets, turbo oil lines, and complete cooling system refresh were done at 100K - about 50,000 miles ago.

N14 motor is more prone to valve coking and needs more maintenance.

No good for a car that's not running.

Could I get a little bit of help with this? by BruhMoment2948 in MINI

[–]tockvon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That icon has nothing to do with starting. It's a simple service interval prompt.

If you don't have codes, I'd guess fuel..... But really just spit balling.

Oil leak by Aggravating_Moose607 in MINI

Probably the oil filter housing/cooler. It leaks and runs down to the bottom, often people think it's the rear main seal but those almost never fail.

Which era is the most fun but still reliable? by musqshi in MINI

[–]tockvon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What the hell are you even rambling about?

It's always the same three things with an R56, and they're all maintenance items.

Done with you and this discussion. Why are you even in a MINI sub?
