Welcome Rocco!
I came from the VW community too (2007 GTI) and haven't looked back. The MINI-love is pretty contagious.
The only suggestion I have is to take better care of the MINI than the VWsI'm currently on the Oil Change every 5k miles plan, no matter what the car manual says. Although I have a newer model - you might want to search around to see if anyone has some concrete suggestions.
Cheers on the new MINI! :beer

:cornut: WELCOME! WELCOME to MA and the MINI community from Sherman,Texas. I came from the Ford Explorer Community so one just never knows. Until one of the gear heads comes along, check Gen 1 and Drive Chain threads for the info that you need.

Welcome to M/A! I did the gearbox at 50,000 miles as I believe that was the recommendation here. The Super Charger I'm not sure, but I bought the oil to do the job soon.

Welcome!
My best friend has a GTI and thinks it's the s***. I don't argue, but I don't agree :devil:
I'm on my 3rd MINI and love them.
I don't think MINI specifies oil service on the SC.... but here's a link to the Bentley guide for checking/filling it:
