After long years of abstinence, we are about to order an F56 Cooper. I read zero-commanix here about engine problems of the 3cylinders. No chain problems like the R56, no problems with durability even at high km running performance Can I conclude that these engines are completely problem-free? Or are there any constructive problems with these engines (control chain, cokes etc?) The bearing shell history from the first series is known to me, but since I’m looking forward to your answers. Greetings

Mini Countryman headlight decorative rings piano Black
Moin, I’d like to change the chrome decorative rings at the front and back of my countryman, as I just don’t like them in chrome. You can buy them in Piano Black and build them on. However, part of the radiator grille is in chrome, the door handles are also chrome and the decorative strips are also chrome. Do you think it would look bad if I just changed the headlight decorative rings? Or is that too much “Misch mach”? eht. Would you like to give your opinion on what it would look like with black decorative rings?

Sporadic: cracking, hitting, clacking even with engine.. ?
Moin people. I have a little problem. My F56 SD from 2015 occasionally makes funny noises from the engine compartment. First to the car: 2015 Mini F56 SD with 170hp, 2.0L diesel and 225,000km. It does not light up any warning message, there are no errors, the car has full power and drives as always. The error cannot be reproduced, comes at least every third engine run – and goes on even a few seconds – although the engine is switched off. It doesn’t matter. whether climate on/off and it doesn’t matter if the engine is warm/cold. I once made a video of the noise. Does any of you think of something? For me, this could be a actuator? AGR? throttle flap? But then without a message? I am Ratlos.https://youtu.be/_eus4HTKvEQ?si=Cjl8fVgt_zs473-c Thank you.

New topic
Hello, I am currently interested in a used Mini One or Cooper F56. However, I have read that the first from the end of 2013 to April 2025 had problems with the crankshaft axial bearing. Now I have found a One, which was built however exactly during this period. Can anyone exactly say which engine is affected? According to research there are: – B38A12 with 1.2 liter displacement and 75 hp – B38A12U0 with 1.2 liter displacement and 102 hp – B38A15A with 1.5 liter displacement and 136 hp De r Car is just around the corner with me. According to the dealer, the car is not affected, yet I am unsure. Does anyone know something exact? I would be very pleased about a feedback. Ciao stevejudge

155/175 or 175/195 for winter tyres? Cheap aluminium actually winterproof?
Hello, I’ve only been driving a 451 for three months. So I’m still on my way to the first winter with my little one. In summer I use the standard Passion Alus with 155 front and 175 rear. This morning I went looking for winter tyres on aluminium. I wanted to do this exceptionally in time. I noticed that there is almost no difference between the Kombi 155/175 and the Kombi 175/195. However, I live in an area in which regularly snows it in winter (exceptions confirm the rule). Besides, I can’t use another vehicle in case of snowfall. That’s why I’m interested in whether the wider tyres on snow significantly lose traction. Maybe one of you could already compare both combinations. As a tire I wanted to use the Continental TS800 or the Pirelli Snow Control. The second question relates to the quality of inexpensive aluminium rims. inter unscathed? I was thinking of one of the following models:http://cgi.ebay.de/…7221158QQcmdZViewItemQptZAuto_Complete wheels?…https://www.reifen.com/…/search.do?…

Buy Smart, Yes or No? PLEASE FOR YOUR MONEY
Hello guys.. I’ve been thinking for a few days if I should buy a used Smart CDI ( from mid 07 ) or not. I find the little one pretty chic. Another purchase motive would be the low diesel consumption and the maintenance. Unfortunately I read a lot of bad things about the Smart and therefore I would like to hear your opinion.. I am a student and in any case depend on my car for the next 3-4 years. Therefore I can’t buy a car with which I am looking for a car. Before I change my 2006 Peugeot 207, which is in TOP condition, I need to be sure that I don’t make a mistake. My Peugeot is really running 1A…and he wouldn’t make any noises before 150,000 to 100%… That the smart doesn’t offer as much comfort as my current car is clear to me. I’m primarily concerned with the fact that I’m cheaper than I am. What do you think? What are your experiences with the Smart? Are you satisfied? Do you recommend the change to me? Are there any models that may be more vulnerable than others (from the engine or year of construction), if with which one am I on the right page? Thanks for the answers…

Buying Tips for ForFour Brabus
Hello I’ve spent 4h reading the already existing posts and am partly quite disappointed, but also convinced that there will probably not be the perfect car. No matter what you do, something is always. I think about buying a fun car. My choice would fall on the Smart ForFour Brabus. The power weight is simply crazy. Unfortunately I leave that there were often problems with the topic of rust, but mostly only with the fortwo smarts. Is there a fo Rfour driver who had problems with it. How is the consumption with this smart so. Insurance I have already looked. Happens in the frame; are approx. 560€ a year. Tax I believe were (still) 108€ a year. Since soon everyone is taxed after CO2, of course also the CO2 value would interest me. There are different data. One time you leave something of 158g/km the other time of up to 174g/km. What is now in the vehicle license? Since I have never had a used car I’m a little careful about that too. More than looking at it and doing a test drive, you can’t do it as a layman either way. You can notice mistakes only day/weeks or even months later. Is there a possibility/test as I can see if the running performance was turned around? Because it’s already noticeable that when a vehicle is 4 years old, and only 20,000 km on the speedometer, it was either not driven, or just put around it. I would be grateful to you for your tips on buying a fun car. Greetings Steve.wi

Is a SMART worth it ? ?
Hello, currently drive an A4 petrol station wagon 125hp and need the average 9-12L. I do not need the car professionally but actually only Just4Fun, city trips, gym, short distances. Live together with my girlfriend and she drives a Polo Diesel station wagon, she is dependent on her car drives daily to work. Now spontaneously came to me the thanks why I so much money for fuel,insurance ,tax out even though we actually do not need a second station wagon, actually need I didn’t even drive a second car. But I want to be mobile with my 23years, and I don’t quite like it. I drove a Lupo diesel in front of the A4 and sold it only because it was just a diesel. Unfortunately, it is like that in Germany, you drive a big car you are who, now my old one comes into play.. I don’t know if I feel comfortable in a small smart or get inferiority complex when at the ampel a 23j in the new A3 seat “grübbel” if i ch in the long run so happy? and no too much money I have on no case!

Restitution of steel cold-running regulators
I’ve already got a cold-running regulator in it. But I haven’t had the chance to register it yet. What does that look like if I go to the registration now? Do I still get the money back from the last months or do I only count that from the day I present the part at the admission? Since I still paid the complete taxes without cold-running regulators for the last year
