  • Mini Cooper S R53 Consulting

    Hello dear mini community, at the moment I drive a VW up that comes away as soon as a buyer has been found. I have been thinking about buying a Mini Cooper with or without S as its successor, but I am very unsure of it. Actually, the Mini would be my dream of the perfect car, would not be the many negative reports. One reads on the Internet very much how bad they are from technology and a workshop stay in principle is self-evident. In the 5 years with my up I have never done anything else than to appear on time for my inspection, which is why the change makes me a bit afraid. How serious are the defects really? Are there really more than just inspections on me at which something is changed? If I decide for a used R53 I have already selected for myself the following points for which I think the important ones are or I still have questions: -Year of construction after 2004 best 2006 I am currently a student and drive about 15,000 a year. The car has to last until the end of my studies so about 50,000 km. Is it enough to buy a mini with 150,000 then I would be at 200k after his term. A couple thought up to 200 you could drive him well before his pension. -The Mini Cooper with 116ps should be enough for me from the performance however I find the optics not as beautiful as with the S. So I wonder how much is in the maintenance g And if they have the same defects. The Cooper probably have less mechanical parts that can break because of lack of compressor. -All say only that he swallows if you give it to him correctly. But how does it look with the consumption under normal circumstances if you switch nicely at 2500. -Pay insurance no gear damage which should often happen? To sit on so much money with a car where it is clear from the beginning that something like that comes Before I buy a very unreliable car, I would look at one of my alternatives, such as the MX-5, Audi TT Coupe, Smart Roadster. For another hot competitor, the Audi A1, my budget is not yet rich.

  • Summer tyres

    I have a question. I am looking for new summer tyres and now I have found which ones but a bit irritated because on my stands 205 45 zr17 88w and where I want to buy now stands only 205 45 r 17 88w. Does the Zr mean something and can I buy the others? (know stupid question, but must buy the first time alone ??) Thank you for your answers

  • Mini beginners needs help 🙂

    Hi, I’m the Max 21 years old and I’m looking for my own car for the first time, until then I drove my mother’s car (Honda Jazz), or my motorcycle (r6), quite a lot, since I now need a car early because of a new job and that quite quickly, I look like crazy. I don’t want to spend too much I think 8000 should be enough, looking for mobile under any brands I found then 2 minis where I thought to myself actually much cooler than such a typical se at ibiza the one year 2010 with 5000 Km and the other 2006 with 18000 Km. Both look very well maintained, but in 2006 I wonder if this can be with so few Km? I hope with someone can help and say what to the 2 offers Thank you http://suchen.mobile.de/…/details.html?… http://suchen.mobile.de/…/details.html?…

  • to open the passenger door only from the inside – who knows the problem?

    my mini-cooper, built year + purchase in 2004, now has 8 years on the hill with 39000 km drive, – I have had so far NEVER any problem, – but now: the passenger door can only be opened from the inside for some time, – from the outside there is no lock (so only to open with remote control) … if I activate the remote control, even the door button at the driver’s side opens, – not the one at the passenger’s door. in the workshop one spoke of “door covering must be removed, – d he electricity supply has to be checked” – no exact information about the costs, i.e. TEUER – a well-known person who has the same problem on another car, one called cost of approx. 250 euro! because I actually have to have the possibility to enter also on the side of the driver (been parked before, or the driver door could already be frozen) I ask first, before I even think about such a cost, HERE about whether someone has experience with it…bin for j eden Ratschlag gratifying!!! lg gabi

  • !!!ATTENTION!!!__Now the thieves are after your 126!

    Report in auto mobil ==>TV – broadcast on VOX, from Sunday, 17.08.2008, 16:45 UHR: New trend in car theft. ALTAUTOS!!! …because those are easy to steal due to the missing immobilizer. With the Polish key open the door and turn the ignition lock. And away eater. That on the Polish border, as on the Luxembourger, no one stands, is fact. So your beloved W126 is gone forever!!! Conclusion: Starter, gasoline pump and ignition control device…everywhere interrupt. Best all three, mi This is not what our fellow citizens from the new European countries expect. The car has to go fast. Of course, if they come with the towing car and simply charge the car… …then only a PAGER and a GPS – WANZE will help.

  • F1-GP Imola

    Tach, since obviously no one dares to start a thread for the Grand Prix of San Marino anymore, I now jump into the breach! My tip: – Renault will certainly drive around the victory again, no question! – 2nd place goes to McL-Mercedes – 3-5 place goes to Ferrari, Williams and Honda (the daily form of the drivers and the preparation of the corresponding teams decides on the better placement, as these teams are in my opinion right up) – 6-7 place goes to BMW-Saube r and Toyota (otherwise as before) – place 8-9 goes to RBR and TR (otherwise as before) – places 10-11 hard to say; I vemute Midland before Aguri I hope I didn’t step on anyone’s tie with my prognosis!

  • Speed?

    Hi guys! I could only see F1 today and last week I had to work. I thought a horse was lousy this morning. they are driving now already with speeds to the 20000U/min that is slowly not normal anymore, what do you think, where is the limit reached? because at some point the candle does not make it anymore or?? I was already wounded last year that they go to the 19000 but a 20 had I really not guessed

  • Shumi’s getting old?

    Servus, this topic is a bit of a concern for me. Schumacher is only smiled at from all sides. Although this may not show a lot of sports spirit, it is true. Will it be something else? But it’s funny if he clears out a few victories this year.

  • GP Australia 31.03-02.04.2006

    So young, this weekend it’s time again. I think we’re going to see another “two fight” between Renault but also hope for the excitement that McLaren can ride in the front again. Big unknown: Williams

  • Formula 1 = Formula Ferrari ???

    So, I’m going to open a thread at this point, which is about whether Ferrari is favored in Formula 1… Well, I think so, because.. 1. Last season was the “one-round qualifying” Since the Bridgestone tyres didn’t come to temperature in this one lap, Ferrari was relatively bad and could hardly drive out very good starting places. So this was changed so that the cars can drive several laps again( In the “shootout” even so many they want) So Ferrari wiede r better chances to bring the tires to temperature and get the poles (see first race this season) 2. In the race it was forbidden to change the tires last season, again a disadvantage for Ferrari, because the Bridgestone tires became worse and worse in the course of a race, so Ferrari could not win again (except in the USA-GP). The tire-change ban was lifted this season, i.e. Ferrari has already had “happiness” again, they may change their…. 3. The BAR-Honda-Team was locked for several races last season, because they had an illegal part of the car (I think it was a forbidden additional tank). Ferrari also has an illegal part on the car, the front wing this season, but it was reported by RTL, as well as Sport1.de, that you have found a KOMPROMISS with the FIA, so Ferrari is allowed to continue driving. So, what is the point, one team is disqualified immediately, and another can continue (Similarly probably also the rear wing) 4. The scandal race of the USA last season. All teams (except Ferrari ) agreed to install a chicane in the questionable curve, so it became a race with 6 cars, whereby Ferrari knew from the beginning that they would get 18 points in this way. Furthermore, I want to say that I hope Kimi does not switch to the Reds, because so he would probably be considerably on the popularity scale far after u.a. I now ask you to continue at this point, to improve me or to try to refute it (but you will not succeed).
