I have been all over my Mini and my sons and did not find them that bad to work on. I have done coil over installs, brake jobs, general maintenance etc..

Now, when it came time to do a clutch on my sons R53, he chose to let a shop do it. He had them install a lightened flywheel while in there. $1200 shop charge (not including flywheel) well worth the charge.

When I owned my 1982 Targa with a 3.6 swap, it needed a rear brake caliper, it seized on the way to get a PPI for the buyer of it. I just had the shop doing the PPI repair it. The bill was over $600. Or half what a clutch job for an R53 cost.
