Got my first problem with the mini: My radio key was mechanically destroyed, please don’t ask how… Anyway, I wanted to use the spare key. He didn’t have this remote control. So put in the lock and turned around and nothing happens…. So the pin just doesn’t go up. Neither if I turn left nor to the right. How do I get into my car now? I hope if I get it up, that I can start it with the spare key. I’m telling you.

Problem: too weing performance of the audio system! In my MCS the multi-function part with nav and audio (6 times changer) is in, so far so good. Listen to normal volume, everything tutti. But if you are missing the system at the end of power. bass is missing and the sound distorted. What option do I have here? Is retrofitting more powerful boxes sufficient? Does the Kardon Sytem fit?

Hello! I intend to buy a countryman and I am a little uncertain about which engine I should choose. About the Countryman One with 98 hp is already little flattering to read in some reports. But I have to say that I am usually only travelling in the city and on country roads. On the highway only three, four times a year. So far I have driven a BMW 1 with 115 hp, which was enough for me thick. If someone drives the Mini One Countryman and can I’ll tell you what.

Hello mini-driver, I really like the Mini from the outside very well, and when I tried a Cooper D last year, I had a lot of fun on curvy country road. Unfortunately, I find the interior design completely impossible, which is why I categorically excluded the purchase of a Mini – actually. Because since the Cooper SD is ordered, I have come back to the pondering. I drive about 20Tkm per year (almost exclusively country road), want to drive a strong diesel, need I had already decided to wait for the Audi A1 TDI S-Tronic with 105 hp, which will no doubt come at some point. Although no rocket and already far below the current Cooper D driving performance, but just a car, in which I get into and feel at ease, even without starting the engine. The only agings at the moment are: The VW Polo TDI DSG, which, however, does not exactly push itself on me because of its meager 90 hp – especially since its interior is not exactly the hammer, but for me still much more bearable than that of the Mini. I can wait 1-2 years with the purchase, but at the moment I do not see a small car on the German market in the foreseeable future, which guarantees a comparable driving pleasure like the Mini. If only this insidious cockpit would not be, that I would then at least I don’t think I’m the only one who’s been thinking about it. So let’s ask everyone who doesn’t like the interior of the mini but who bought it anyway because of its truly outstanding driving characteristics: Have you ever regretted your decision? Or else ask: Do you think you can be happy in the long run with a car that you don’t like visually? I’m grateful.

Hello I have an emergency. My mini looks like sow ….. because I am the owner of 2 dogs and every now and then a rabbit rides it looks like that. Now the car has to go back to the dealer (leasing return). Since it is a company dare, it makes the thing even worse. Does this go away and if so what costs such a vehicle preparation with the expert in the condition? I once took some pictures so that you can say exactly something at price etc. And where can you find a n Good conditioner? I’m aware that nobody cleans it for 50€ it’s also a little about the money because 50% takes over the company. It’s important to me that it gets really clean and the car no longer straightens.

Hello together unfortunately in the search no success had so here my problem I drive a Cooper D from 2009 Km Status Current 85000 ca. service intervals all made if not even one or other oil change more ! Now I have for a few weeks the problem that if I want to speed up the engine into the engine malfunction program and lowers the line or only up to 2500 turns. The passes however very sporadic . I have not yet fixed any error rhythm It happens when you want to turn to the end no matter in which gear. It also happens sometimes in the low-turdy area. So everything is very strange. Engine on and again out of problem away quite normal until you want to turn again fully zb On highway or to overtake. My turbocharger has already been exchanged 2 times on warranty. Because of the rust. Now a letter has appeared at BMW in the stands that this is normal and does not affect the operation. r D that I have seen so and have also looked under the bonnet have not had a lost turbo Why mine. Can this be related? My friend wants to hang the car on the tester and the target and data compare ! Cost point unclear Since I am a student and my money unfortunately also does not grow on trees Ask me here for advice or if anyone knows the problem ? Thank you in advance .

Hello people, I want to separate myself from my little wolf (VW Lupo) in the near future and switch from small cars to small cars. I especially liked the MINI (both the Cooper and the ONE) pain limit is 600€ with me as apprentice with the support of my parents (but only because the MINI likes my parents ….. an MG F was rejected ) Search designed on Greater Berlin/Brandenburg respectively Berlin & radius of 200km Of the results n I was a little disappointed, since with these criteria there is only Cooper and ONE`r with clearly more than 100,000 km. ( O-tone is at 130-160 tkm) Now the question -> is the purchase of a mini with these mileage performances recommended? Example scenario : I found at Mobile.de a Cooper with 116 hp, which looks purely visually really appealing (silver with black rally stripes on the hood,black roof) Data : BJ 12/2003 – 140.000 KM on the clock – Switchcar checkbook I have already read here that the clutch and the gearbox are happy to leave before the BJ 04. What is still to be observed ? (especially with MINI) the car I want to drive at least 2-3 years. thanks already for your help -> if the resonance is positive I will still look at it today

Hello people Come from the Mercedes CLK w209 forum! I sold my Mercedes and today bought me a Mini Cooper S year 2003! I hope I will be happy with the car. From the next days I will also start to create topics and thank you from now on for your helpful answer! Greetings!

Hi, I’m on it and I’m ready to order an SD 4… The contract is here on the table, a signature, a fax and zack…. Or the yeti? Well, everybody will speak out for the mini here. Can you give me last tips? What *must* you have in action? I find everything “schoen” without question and would like to have the hoot full, but it can’t be too expensive. Therefore I’m currently glandet at: + SD + all-wheel + xenon + seat heating + climate (no automatic) + PDC + comfort access (do I have the other cars for me personally a “must have”.) + 5 seat + sports button + outside color coffee brown + dach black + mirror caps chromed + hands-free – leather – super system (boost has somehow slipped in) – navi – automatic (like though is expensive, therefore sacrificed) forget anything? 3L

Hello guys, I haven’t dealt with Mini for over 2 years now, but somehow you just can’t get rid of it. It’s not just me, my wife is driving “only one golf” at the moment. Actually also a very nice, with nice extras. But is “only one golf”… In 1-2 years a new car is supposed to be here. Probably a mini, vult. as a countryman. You hear, or leave a lot of good. The engine should be top (112 hp D), driving behavior top etc.. So how does it look like to Ze It out? Are the dealers still as buttoned up as a few years ago? We had 2 Cooper and did not get over 8% discount on new purchases. What is “goes” at the moment in the “percentual” area? LG and thanks for the answers!
