Hello guys! Unfortunately I have extreme problems with my new Mini One built in November 2018, 8.000km down. With a very slow ride (from about 30-40 kmh) it starts to get very loud in the interior. It sounds like roll-off noises, but in my opinion it’s way too loud. I haven’t had a louder vehicle in my life. Depending on the road surface, the volume or intensity of the noise changes. The tires are the ones that came from the factory (Michel) in Energy Saver 195/65/r16, summer tires) and still look very good. I was two times at the dealer, who told with each time that it was probably normal and Mini is always loud. Sawtooth is not available. However, it is so loud that the ears become deaf to you. I once measured by mobile phone app and there I measured at about 60 kmh inside, 70 decibels in the interior. That can’t be normal after all? Funny is that when you turn the windows down, the noise “on I have to say that the sound has been there from the beginning. I had bought it with just under 3,000km… I have already checked tire pressure. No matter if 0.2 bar more or less does not change anything. Temperature-dependent is probably not, since the noises remain the same at cold or warm outside temperatures. Do you have any idea what this could be? Or is it normal? I am grateful for every person who is interested in it. Note…

I’m thinking of replacing my BMW X3 next year for the new Mini Countryman plug-in hybrid. It would fit perfectly to my driving profile (max 30km/day, every few weeks a longer distance) and could be charged daily in the garage. The test drive was very convincing. Driving was really fun, also haptics and (BMW) technology were top. Are there already owners in the forum who can report on their experiences? Consumption? Charging time at the household plug-in se? Negative? I would appreciate feedback. Greetings Alex

Hello together, since the beginning of the week many of my assistance systems have failed: Front camera Rising protection Adaptive headlights Spur release warning cruise control with distance control one day later is also the USB stick (MP3 music files) no longer in the system. My mini is now 13 months old, at the BMW dealer could not tell me if this is a warranty case, first you have to make a fault diagnosis. Haate from you already someone a similar case? What was broken? e costs taken over, how expensive was the repair otherwise? How is the connection between USB stick and assistance systems? By the way, the parking beeps at the front and back as well as the rear camera still work. Thank you for your messages

Hi, everybody, I’m here for my son, who’s driving the driver’s license to configure a Mini One. So far I’ve chosen the following equipment: Pepper White Fabric Firework Carbon Black/Carbon Black 17″ LM wheels Cosmos Spoke black Multifunction for steering wheel Sports leather steering wheel Model lettering Fall Panorama glass roof Seat heating for driver and front passenger Park Distance Control (PDC) rear Speed control with brake function hands-free Bluetooth White How do Bluetooth and mobile phone preparation differ? If you want to use Spotify with ‘n iPhone 6S, you certainly need the mobile phone preparation, right? Is a USB connection installed as standard to listen to music from the stick? I can only choose LED as additional equipment, what does it have as a series, safe only halogen and no xenon, right? What does the MINI Excitement package contain? Thank you

Hello, is there a possibility at the central instrument to display the vehicle status so drive type, battery capacity and range at the same time? Great would also be a charging time indicator, especially if you charge externally, you want to plan the stop. The charging current recognizes the car independently, or do I have to switch something? Then I wanted to say something about power, the system power of 225 hp sounds really great, if there is enough juice…after that has with three people and luggage bes And again a question about the consumption, it would not generally make sense for hybrids to make an indication about Euro per 100 km driven. The factory specification is calculated like this: 100 km minus electric range in this case 54 km, with a theoretical consumption of the 3cylinder of something around the four liters, are just 2l left or how? improves me? And what happens from kilometer 101? I have another test week the feeling, d did I eat this hybrid lie because of the beautiful colorful pictures and my transfigured ecological conscience?? Thank you

Hello, I need an overview of all service intervals at the mini, i.e. oil change, air filter, brake fluid, interior filter, spark plugs, and so on… Background of the question is the possibility to complete a service package for depending on mileage about 800 to 1400 € for 6 years. I would like to calculate whether this is worth it. The vehicle is a Mini Cooper f55.

A successor is already clearly visible here…https://en.motor1.com/news/543951/mini-countryman-2023-erlkoenig/

Hello together, I have to – after having recovered from the first shock – get rid of my displeasure: I had today for the Mini Countryman (with 102 HP petrol engine) of my Holden an appointment for the first oil service. The car has now run 17tkm and is two years old. So nothing bad thought and made a presentation for the handover… until then everything good and about the employees I can also say nothing negative. I then kindly asked about the price… (since I have to But the good man told me very dry that the oil change would cost 345,- €. I asked again, but unfortunately I had not questioned myself. (By the way, the oil alone should cost 140,- €). I am unfortunately at the age that I like to convert such amounts into DM again, but that makes one even more unconstitutional. Not that someone has told me that it takes me a maximum of one hour, I actually assumed that something like this is between 150,– to 180,- €. misunderstood, I don’t gnaw at the hunger cloth and I also know that you have to pay more in a contract workshop, but I find that naughty… Is this really the normal price at BMW/Mini or are there any differences? I usually do everything myself on my cars or have a very good free workshop, so I unfortunately lack any justification for such prices. Especially because I know that an oil change in this car is not a witchcraft…

Good day dear minifriends, at the end of the year at the beginning of next year it’s time again and I need a new car At the moment I drive a Ford Focus Facelift ST. Since the new ST is not yet available I’m running my feelers in all directions. Possibly Polo GTI Fiesta ST T-Roc bmw 2er Coupé or Cabrio or Hyundai I30N. Now I have come across the new Mini, which I also like very much either as Cooper S Cabrio or 3 Doors. the past often rather moderate quality and reliability at the mini. How is that today especially with the 192 hp engine. There are weaknesses you need to know both with the engine and with the coach Would be grateful about your experiences. Must drive the time test…

Hello, think about adding at the moment due to currently high discounts. Is the additional price for the JCW for performance technical if you use the sports automatic? The JCW comes after all with the famous 8-speed converter automatic. But just under 40 hp difference is not exactly a lot.
