  • JCW as a presenter… Tips desired!

    Hello together, I have the opportunity to get a Mini JCW on good conditions at the moment. Everything tiptop, optically good etc. only hook: The car was also used in between for demonstration purposes… Well, the demonstration car is often defiled to me. Nevertheless, the question arises whether I should categorically leave my fingers off of it. My Golf GTI actually bought me as a new car for the reason (Heizer car for mostly young target audience) and had so far you What do you think? Are there people who bought Cooper S / JCW as a showman? Is the engine generally more robust or a sensitive one? Can I get some insurance or just find out about the condition when I buy it (no idea, for example, read out any protocols or what do I know…?). I am grateful about all the tips! Gruss Denson

  • Sliding roof panel crunches/cracks

    Hello, the panoramic roof is in the interior front and back each equipped with such black plastic strips. Virtually such a plastic frame, I hope you know what I mean. Can anyone tell me how to get the best fit? as soon as the road becomes a bit uneven, comes from the frame such a cracking annoying noise. For the rest of my life it makes me crazy. The noise is to recreate when you move the frame, I only have no idea what I can do best against it.

  • What John Cooper Works?

    Hello, I’m thinking about getting a John Cooper Works this year or early next year. I’m just not sure which one. From 2006 there was the R56, how do I recognize such a one and what’s better with this one and the R53 worse? How much does a work like that consume, drive 20km of highway, where there is 100km/h throughout, without traffic lights and then 20km of highway to work, so the perfect track actually. What do you think of them?http://suche.mobile.de/…/181764391.html?original=PARKhttp: //suche.mobile.de/…/182038514.html?…http://suche.mobile.de/…/181172139.html?… – JCW GP Which car causes fewer problems? My current R50 has the well-known gearbox problem, is there such a thing in a different form with the JCWs too? Greeting Sören

  • Original LED daytime running lights from Mini

    Good evening, I noticed now that there are now (finally) also original MINI LED daytime driving lights for almost every MINI model. Has I always disturbed that there was no original solution of Mini as an alternative to permanent driving light. Has this possibly already installed or can someone say closer to the total price incl. installation? I already sent an e-mail to my dealer but maybe it is faster here. The daytime driving lights cost 324€ (right happig). not correctly copy can be found on the Mini website – Accessories – Outdoor design – Lights – LED daytime running lights.

  • Backwards cracks/cracks terribly while inserting…

    Hello, the title actually says it already — My used Mini One (EZ 11/2005, 35 TKM, bought in January) really worries me since recently: The reverse course is often very difficult, and often it cracks or crashes really loud – so that sounds really unhealthy. Especially if I insert the gear quite quickly (car stands still, clutch fully through). So I got used to it slowly and cautiously (with pre-feeling so to speak). But even then it cracks sometimes audible OR it doesn’t go in at all. I don’t want to press with force (because it crashes again that it runs cold down my back) and let the clutch come a few times or drive a bit and then it usually goes. But also not always. Sometimes on the other hand I have no problems and it goes in immediately buttery… So my questions: – Do I have to seriously worry that there is something wrong with the gearbox ( you often hear that the mini has problems there), or is that normal because of unsynchronised reverse gear etc. ??? – If what is not true, this would be covered by the BMW 1 year Euro+ warranty (with all the exceptions that are there nobody looks through…) ? – Do others have similar problems / experiences here? I am looking forward to your answers!!! – Ralf
