We bought the car about 2 months ago and have only problems since then. It is a Mini One R56 1.4, built in 2008 with 95ps and meanwhile 91,000km. The problem is if you want to start the mini cold it usually goes out directly again. Sounds like the driving times are not right, but this always happens after 1-2 seconds. In addition, you can hear “Backfire” in the intake during the engine goes out. was recently already.. so read out and see there “Inlet camshaft control faulty” So first the usual culprits (inlet magnet valve and sensor replaced). So far so good.. Car ran since then (1800-2000km) however it has started again and worse than before. As soon as you hold the speed for a few seconds at approx. 2000rpm the mini runs quite normal until the next cold start. I don’t want to mention the oil consumption at all because obviously loud Forums “”normal””” is with the engine..
