My Mini Ray is still under new car warranty so I have no worries for a while. Like most things if its looked after i.e serviced regularly I don't think you'll have too many dramas. Remember it is a BMW,they don't make shitty cars. Late model cars are still too new to be having too many dramas. Try and get a low km late model car if you can.

Just been reading up on the early tritec engines and they are said to be pretty bulletproof is this true or are they worse than the later engines.
Thanks

The engines themselves are fine: it was the superchargers and gearboxes that can be a let down.
