Looking at the tyre profile after 10000 kilometers, I’m a little scared now. There’s not much on it anymore. So if I manage 20000 kilometers with it, it’s a lot. It’s almost like a motorcycle. Will have to get me a family pack, or I’ll start a tyre trade myself. At 60 – 8000 kilometers a year, there’s something coming together. Markus

The drive-in time has been over for a long time and the speedometer now shows more than 10,000 kilometers. Time to give a small resume to the Mini Cooper Works. In summary, I can say that the Works is an incomparable car for me with a hammer engine that is a lot of fun. But in turn. The Works actually has two faces. On the one hand, if you look at the speed limit and the directional speed on the motorway t, an enormously economical car ( on average 7.5 liters ), which is very harmonious, comfortable and at the same time very fast, confident and relaxed to drive and therefore suitable for long distances like hardly any other car, apart from the Cooper D. On the other hand a car, which with pressed sports button and heavy right foot becomes the sport device of the very first quality. Hard to tame, incredibly fast and quite thirsty. The whole garnishes with a sound, which The Works doesn’t have any real enemies on the highway or on the highway, apart from a few exotics. Even the whole TDI fraction rubs its eyes regularly. In the 4th or 5th course, the Works has a pass at its finest, with the 6th course actually almost always enough. The Works feels particularly comfortable on the country road and on the highway at speeds between 140 and 200 km/h. The 256 km/h, which at 6,500 rpm, b When the speed limit (red range starts at 6,500 rpm) is reached on the speedometer, it is reached by a high speed and if the road is still slightly downhill, the digital speedometer can also stand at 260. The combination of sports suspension ( 200,– Euro surcharge ) and Dunlop Sport Maxx ( of course no Runflats ) in combination with distance discs ( 10 mm per axis ) is the ideal mixture of comfort and sport and leaves nothing to be desired. Speed range clearly over 200 km/h is a bit tiring in the long run. Little weight, short wheelbase, roaring exhaust and a sporty chassis are counterproductive here. My Porsche Boxster shows the same symptom here, however. A 7 BMW is even more relaxed at 300 km/h. However, this should not be understood as a criticism, quite the contrary, it just shows the ideal moment for work, the country road to have fun and the highway to the fast By the way, the consumption then commutes between 8 and 9 liters. Only those who constantly have more than 200 km/h standing on the clock comes over 10 liters, then it can even become up to 15 liters, but then you have to exert yourself properly. The engine is really a poem. Gas acceptance, power development, flow, sound and the consumption are simply the finest. For me the best 4 cylinder to buy. Against the background of the offered the works can be thoroughly I hope the short report was not too long and before the first questions appear, no, I don’t get anything from Mini for it. If someone wants to donate, I would like to inform you on request of my bank details. Markus

What I have experienced with my Cooper D at the BMW / Mini branch in Stuttgart Vaihingen within one year ridicules every description. Therefore, after very good experience with BMW / Mini in Schramberg, I bought my works there too. Only three examples of many, but why it is strongly advised from the Mini / BMW branch in Stuttgart : – When now at a dealer nearby (the ADAC was not ready to cover a larger distance ) a damaged Front window should be washed was found, that the aperture on the left A column was damaged by Mini Stuttgart a few months ago (stone blow ) so that the screws no longer hold. The guys in Stuttgart were so clever or diletant that they simply glued the aperture on with hot glue instead of ordering and mounting a new part. Cheerfulness. – A few weeks ago the brake pads were replaced at the back, Since they were worn out. After I drove several thousand kilometers with it, I found that the kilometers until the next inspection in the display always remain constant and no less. It was then determined that the sensor was not installed properly and therefore the function was not in order. The replacement then worked but unfortunately the function could not be reset at the 2nd appointment and a 3rd appointment had to be arranged ( 1 whole Day ) to play a completely new software. The cheekyness was now that I also got an invoice for the wrong built-in feeler. – At the end of last year I had noticed a poltern on the rear axle and therefore spent the car for a day in the workshop. At noon I got a call that the vehicle was ready and I could pick it up in the evening. For the day I had a spare mini from the car dealership. So the 150 kilometers to go there Unfortunately, the workshop manager had to tell me that he had just done a test drive with my Cooper D and that the mistake still occurs. In order to speed up the whole thing, I took another hour to get to the bottom of the noise (was an ex factory part on the rear axle of some driving trains incorrectly installed). However, because the replacement vehicle was needed, I got over the car vermi located in the branch office. The 300 kilometres had been almost for nothing. However, the impudence was that I had received a juicy invoice for the rental vehicle including petrol costs and it came to the notice. Only after a conversation with the chief stage was the whole thing stopped. Markus

Hello together Maybe I order a new Mini Cooper convertible today. An important option for me is the navigation system. Unfortunately, no dealer in the vicinity has a vehicle with navigation. Apparently this option is not very much asked. I know the navigation system of Audi (MMI) and the TomTom (Go 720). Can you please give some information on how the mini navigation system works in comparison. For other helpful convertible options tips I am of course a uf open. Thanks and Greetings Reto
