Hi people, a little wait still then I also go among the mini riders. There will be a Clubman D (AT) in white with black roof, chili package and a few extras. Got now the following leasing offer: List: 28730,- (incl. transfer) Leasing without deposit, 25000 km / year 36 months Rate: 479,94 € I like the rate quite well. What do you think the dealer still has air for set of winter tires and the mini service package? Greeting Martin

Hello, in advance, I am not a car specialist. I would like to buy a mini and lie down for this max. 10,000€. I have been a little busy with the topic and have learned that the minis from the end of 2006 have a new engine, which is supposed to be much better than the old one, and also 5 hp additionally and better in consumption. Currently I get eg a Cooper BJ at the end of 2008 with 80k km for 10,000 € with some equipment, hung a year 2005, but only 50k km for the same Price with large equipment + winter tyres on aluminium etc. Should I concentrate on the newer model or rather on the less driven kilometers. Greetings and many thanks for your help

Hello dear MINI-Driver! The following,… I myself have been a convinced mini driver for 4 years. I got my last MINI in 2009 and it’s also my current one. I’m just not so happy with the convertible anymore and was already bitchy in the workshop. It’s a leasing vehicle and the delivery would be 06/2012. Since I liked the Countryman so much, I want to replace my present one with my dealer and the new one comes as a follow-up contract – If I order it now, we in about 2 months. Dealers want a difference to my ‘old’ Mini … 3000,- :- ( so to speak as a replacement sum! In addition, I would have to halve the transfer costs, i.e. 330,- and registration fee + tank of approx. 140,- Have no down payment on my new vehicle, so to speak, because I have to pay so much for my old one. On my countryman the total price of 40,300,00 Euro I got 9,1% discount… I’m still not quite as sure …. Woman with my mum is already extremely fucked up when buying a car … 🙁 Since some people use this apparently really nice, if jmd is just unsuspecting! This time the variant financing, because I don’t want to be so tied anymore. What do you say? Or do you still have a few dealers that are more kulant? Same experiences? Thank you for every answer and help! Greetings

I had a Mini One D built in 2004, kilometer 141,000. From the beginning he had problems getting started when he was warm. At -15° the car did not work at all, although I paid a nice small sum in the nice BMW workshop for troubleshooting. After that I switched to another BMW workshop, the troubleshooting was even more expensive. Winter 2011, -12°, car after 500m drive out, problem still present today, cause according to 2 BMW dealers unknown. Service costs and repairs in 6 Car rental from the BMW dealer: 1x in 6 years with about 10 workshop stays.(otherwise never was a car rental “free”.) This caused me of course with every service big problems because I had no car. (taxi costs etc….) Windscreens: 4x brake blocks: 4x brake discs: 3x air conditioning: 1x air-conditioning compressor tensioning roller control chain: 1x (just over 500€) sound left rear: 1180€ (brake, brake disc, brake caliper, wheel suspension) g etc. Noise but still available) Rain sensor: partly wipes even if it is dry Power steering: Ollose (sealing 280€) After the third windscreen exchange strong vibration noise from the dashboard right front. Conclusion: So far the worst car I had…… But now it is sold. (some under list price since I naturally informed the buyer of the defects) Why this thread? Because I am disappointed, also on the part of the service of BMW. BMW directly expressed my displeasure, but they didn’t care….were maybe different if I had a 7 BMW…

Hello, I wanted to hear your opinion about a leasing offer. It is a “made” presenter. That means the mini is ordered in the desired configuration and then registered for three months on the dealer. The offer is as follows: Mini Cooper Clubman SD, total price 31’070,-EUR 5’000,- EUR Special payment 10’000 km/ year 36 months 305,- EUR mtl. Rate (incl. Mini Smile insurance) 4,66ct / multi-kilometre Is this usual for the market? Or is there anything else? lg, bangser

Do your vehicles have rear drive? I’ve been thinking about getting a mini as a winter car because I think the car is cool and he would drive like a go-kart as our professor told us, who chased him through the Alps.

Hello, my question is only if it is worth making a chip tuning with the mini countryman S ?! the 123d has become too boring for me already after a week and that’s why something new has to come! lg

Hello together! I would like to know how long you have been driving your mini and what defects or repairs have occurred so far. I am happy about numerous answers Greetings, Chris P.S. I have been driving my mini for almost 2 months and so far almost 5000 km without problems Hope that it will stay that way for a long time

Hello, the Mini Cooper has managed to get into the short selection of a new car. I would even say that the decision is 90%!! Now I ask myself the following question: Should I now (December) opt for the Cooper S or should I rather wait a bit and then take the Cooper SD? At the moment I drive a 118d and am actually satisfied with the performance. Compared to the 120i (170ps) I would definitely prefer the 143 HP diesel. Wouldn’t the Cooper S be much faster than a 120i on the road?

Hello, you (beneficial) mini-drivers! I drive a Golf2 GTI, BJ 1990, 290tkm. I got the picker again without any problems. I’m not a mechanic or hobby screwdriver, but I don’t have two left hands and with repair guide I can help myself sometimes. So I had to install a new starter last week. As you can see on the BJ, I drive a car until it gets the pickerl, or until a repair exceeds the real achievable residual value. (which is now already on the rise again, as I also take from the card, which is jammed every few weeks behind the disc 🙂 ) . Now my question: Is the mini under BMW-direction, also such a car, where you can write off the purchase costs for a duration of 20 years from EZ without having to fear exponentially growing repair costs? And what about the self-making, with the vehicle? And how with spare parts in the replica? At the golf this is simply w Understandable, because after 20 years you get everything with every car butcher. With the GTI it gets a bit more difficult, but it is still in the green area (the swapped starter was from a used GTI and the recycler has for it “give me what you believe” demanded). I fear that this will be quite different with the Mini, right?
