As announced at the Automesse AMI in Leipzig today, as last year, I had a conversation with the product manager of Mini. The conversation was again very nice and open. We talked about the things that move the mini driver so, and I passed on my / your wishes and suggestions for improvement. He found the points, which had also noted on a note so interesting that he took them away. The following points were discussed : Engines : The Mot In the foreseeable future a second diesel will be added to the range of oren. Due to the conversation I start from the 2 liter Peugeot engine with 135 hp. Note in its own matter : He also thinks that the Cooper D is much better than the Cooper. In addition, he also believes that the D, because it is a bit heavier in the front and is also a bit harder tuned than the other models, is the richest of all minis on the road. d the mini with the next facelift get a modified rear apron that goes further down. On the one hand the car looks bullier from the back and on the other hand you can no longer see the struts from the back. Radio / Sound : The radio will remain integrated. Here also nothing will change. In the future, however, there will be a new hifi system that will also meet the highest demands. Price for this is around 1,000,– Euro in the room. Criticism about the short thighs is taken into account and the seats are probably optimized accordingly. Colors : New colours are offered, including a somewhat unusual yellow. The Hot Chocolate will be reserved for the Clubman for the time being, but it is possible that there will also be a brown tone for the Mini, or that sooner or later the Hot Chocolate will be available for the Mini. Runflat : Here the people of Mini do not seem to be gl even the chassis had to be specially adapted to the bad runflat tires. But since BMW Runflats brought with great advertising effort into the market, they just can not make a back-up here from today to tomorrow. I had suggested, however, that when buying also have the option to get the car ex factory also with normal tires. Belt holder : I had the problem myself that the belt holders, which are available from Mini in the accessories, with a This problem he will take on. The mini will therefore be further improved and the few criticisms will probably be put off in the foreseeable future. The suggestions of the drivers are really taken very seriously, so that the mini will continue to make us all so much pleasure in driving. Markus B.

Hello together, 3 years ago, the purchase of a small car for my female was on the plan! It should be absolutely a mini – preferably as a convertible! So I let myself then wide beat and bought a Mini Cooper convertible in British Racing green. With various extras (leather, climate automation, appealing rims, Chrome line interior and exterior, etc…) much I almost got off the chair when I saw the price … But for the fetching female with the dachshund view (“That’s so sweet! ” knows then to convince and so was bought. But unfortunately this car proved to be “catastrophe” ! Various macaws reduced the driving fun on my part nevertheless considerably ! The lame engine did its rest to it . Here times a small extract of the existing defects : – During long highway rides it becomes quite hot (oil temperature) – The roof was 3x leaking – It squeaks and creaks at all corners and ends – The color of the tank cover has dissolved 2x – The turn signals left and right in the mud flight l have been lost already 6x – you drive and on arrival the things are gone … – The roof temporarily does not go on or on – once to five maöl ignition off and on again, then it suddenly goes on But now he also starts to rust even though he is only in the heated garage, and there was the decision – he has to go! ! ! Now of course trouble was on the program: “My beautiful, cute car selling ? Never!” But how is it so beautiful: who pays the music , best Immmt what is played and thus there was no further discussion ! But what to buy now ? Clear announcement of my Holden : “I want a mini and nothing at all ! ” So I was quite clear for nothing , but could not enforce this demand then ! So on Saturday morning an appointment was made at BMW in the branch and immediately was talked about without brain and mind – everyone who has such a copy at home , will be able to agree with me . After her Powder veschossen had , were then also possible negotiations . So first our convertible was appreciated and I thought to myself only : “oh , oh , now comes the hammer!” But it turned out that the convertible is extremely value-stable . Anyway, the dealer exceeded my hoped sum already in the first attempt by far …. There was then also something to get out ! On this basis I was gladly ready to negotiate about a new mini . A convertible I categorically excluded . inen , because it is still the old model and on the other hand the experiences with ours were enough ! So also the Clubman was discarded ( “That is so great ! There I get also the stroller inside ! ” . Why then extra that was bought by Mini then probably remains for all eternity a secret !) and I thought to myself : Now or never ! To make it short : It will now be a Cooper S , dark gray metallic and everything that belongs to it ! The question of my wife : “Has mine then also this komi sche hole in the hood , these prolligen exhaust pipes and the ugly tank cover ?” I skilfully replied with :”Neeeeiiiiiiin , treasure , Yours did not of course ….” At the end of May should be delivery date and I hope that this is now better processed , than the last !
