Just hard seats. The suspension is a little tough as well if you have larger rims or especially those god-forsaken run-flats.
I ditched my 2009 R56 in 2011 at just 50K miles. Right out of warranty. In that time I had the whole timing chain BS replaced, water pump, electrical gremlins, fuel pump, ect. I could on imagine the costs were monumental.
Fastforward a few years (2014). Wife HAD to have a R60. Well, I really stood my ground here...."We're getting a "justa (base)" I said.
Few days passed and here we are with a All4S LOL. Besides all the AWD problems that has, it still had the water pump problems, wheel bearings (Minis eat them for some reason - probably run-flats), and a few other parts that are just way more expensive than a cheaper commuter (struts, battery, general maintenance items). Took it on a trip to Nashville after purchase...I think my back still hurts.
I may be biased. I traded that R56 in on my FJ Cruiser back in 2011. Still have it. No problems....
