Mini PMS

[ChanChan]

Mini serviced this weekend. Had to ask for the software update! First service two years ago was crazy expensive, so I skipped the contract. They said it'd be all day, but it was done by 10:30! Settings wiped, but I had a backup. Range jumped from 103 to 140 miles—doubt it. Brakes only 30% worn after 20k miles, rears a bit more. Why the brake fluid flush after two years? Felt like upselling. Two years/20k miles ownership costs are high, but I love driving it. Wife spent double on gas for the same mileage! Old EV never needed service. No battery degradation on this one, and I prefer it to the new Mini, so I'm keeping it.

Two years in, 20K miles, and zero battery degradation that’s a solid win for the Mini EV! But that brake fluid flush sounds like a money grab unless they showed you actual contamination. And the range jump from 103 to 140 miles? That’s gotta be a recalibrated estimate rather than an actual efficiency boost.
