I just called a local dealership to see if I qualify for what they call the "8 or 80" - 8 years or 80k miles recall. Apparently, early model minis had an emissions issue that required a recall. I just missed the 80k mark which means I miss it outright. The guy ( who kept saying "why don't u come by so we can check it out for you?" ) says it was for the upstream O2 sensor...the more expensive one that is closer to the exhaust manifold. I asked him how much a job like that would cost while considering I was out of the recall warranty - $600 bucks he said.
Get the O2 sensor yourself and then DIY. Good luck.
