    :cornut: Welcome to MA. 100kmi in many cases is only the start. There are people who have gotten 200k-250kmi before rebuild.:Thumbsup:

    Welcome to M/A. :)

    I think if your MINI is cared for it is good for another 99K. Just getting broken in.

    Welcome! I would suggest doing things like a new water pump, supercharger, etc. to replace some of the wearing out parts to get some more miles out of your engine.

    But if you have the money all set, by all means go for it :) maybe you could start a build thread for your car if you do end up rebuilding the engine.

    Thank you to everyone for the warm welcome! My car has been WELL taken care of ( I trust me:lol:) The most major repair to date was the LCA bushings. As of December 4, I will have had it for 8 years. No dents,door dings only afew rock chips on the front end for character. When it comes time for the "rebuild", I will be more than happy to share any pics and/or info!
