Welcome, thanks for joining Motoring Alliance, the FUN and Friendly MINI Community.
It's an optional add on designed to make the dealer a hefty profit. So long as you use premium gas from a top tier supplier you'll be fine. As added insurance you could run a bottle of Techron through the gas tank now and again. Most any auto parts store sells it. Even the dealer has it, but labeled MINI or BMW fuel treatment, with a commensurate overly high price since it has the BMW or MINI logo on the bottle.

Say no thank you and next time you fill-'er-up add a can of BG-44K.

Keep your $110.00 and just buy top tier fuel. Sunoco or Shell 93 is what I use.

Welcome to M/A!
Save your money, use only premium gas [93 octane] and go with an occasional bottle of Techron. :cornut: -
Good stuff!!
Nothing they are going to do for $110 is going to help you more than this...
It's just a dealer "reccomended" service cause it makes them $$.
When I lived out in Colorado ...
There was a Toyota dealer that charged $110 to add $30 bottle of the above chemical at each service....was a Toyota dealer...
I the future, please include the version of mini and year of the car you have!! Enjoy your car, and welcome!!. -

Pour a bottle of Chevron Techron in the tank at each oil change. It's a very good fuel system cleaner.
