    The only thing I notice that is out of the ordinary is the terrible gas mileage which seems to be getting worse over time. I can reset the code but it comes back within an hour or two.

    EDIT:My mini is a 2003.

    I haven't do it...

    but others have told me that they have done the front/rear O2 sensor switch, so it can be done...

    The sensors are the same and have the same part number. Sometime to clear O2 sensor problems the computer adaptations must be reset also.
