About the MINIs
New Late 2010 and 2011+ N18 motors are better in terms of reliability and power. The old 07-10 N14 were somewhat grenades if not maintained properly.. basically beyond manufacturer's intervals
Also the HPFP is not a wide spread issue as much, BUT it's guaranteed and warrantied until 110k miles/unlimited years after all warranties are already exhausted, the part and labor is covered still. IF it dies at 109k, it's replaced and it has a 2 year warranty thereafter on part and labor. That's how MINIUSA rolls, and that's why I still own one.
