I'm 19 years old. I have owned only BMWS. Had an e30 325 I and an e46 328Ci . Yesterday I went to look at an 04 Infiniti G35 which was nice, but I actually fell in love with an 09 Mini Cooper S 6 speed. I instantly felt the BMW thrill so to speak when driving it unlike the infiniti. It has 91k miles on it which I understand is a lot for the year. But I wouldn't be putting a whole lot on it. The price on it is 10,995 with very clean and good carfax. I decided to do research. The only thing I see that's common is carbon build up, which can be prevented by bringing it to red line every once in awhile which I would do a couple times a week. All these reviews were on Edmunds and I didn't see any complaints on any bmw based forums. Is it as simple as those people not putting 91 fuel and injector and oil cleaner into every once in awhile? Thoughts and advice?

 

Hey iamtheK2, I say get it! You won't regret it!

 

I put in fuel injector cleaner in my gas tank every other gas tank and have had no issues with carbon build up.

 

Good to hear! I'm really excited about it! I felt the love as soon as I sat in it

 

Yeah, there is a special bond between a driver and his/her Mini Cooper.

 

New to the forum, and my 2005 S cabrio. You will not regret the decision except that they can sometimes get costly ( just like a lady ).
