New 09 JCW owner - Mini Cooper Forums

I recently purchased a 09 JCW with 12k miles on it, nearly perfect condition. I been driving it around and I absolutely love it. I have a few questions.

Is there any known issues out there I should know about?

Which premium gas do you guys use?

Thanks

Hi Danho,
Congratulations on your new MINI! I don't have an '09; not sure if there are particular issues with that year. BUT, I always buy the premium gas (the most expensive one at the gas station, whichever station I am at), as I have heard that you can have problems if you use anything else.

Enjoy your MINI! : D

Premium gas. The mini deserves better gas. You wouldn't want to feed yourself with crappy food, right?
