Tach. I’ve had a new smartphone Motorola G7 Plus with Android 10 for a few weeks now. I was able to pair my old G4 Plus with the Mini (EZ 5/2015). It’s no longer possible with the G7 Plus. Smartphone is recognized as G7 Plus, but the message with the passkey doesn’t go any further. If you watch the smartphone, you can see that the connection comes back again and again and separates, almost as an endless loop. Software in the Mini should be up-to-date (TV-110.005.030-006.004) I don’t know what to do.

Hello together, can someone tell me if there has been a price increase in the last few days? Specifically, I’m talking about a Cooper S convertible. Lt. Configurator costs the vehicle without special equipment 32,750 €. At the same time, a few days before I downloaded a new mini price list (stand “March 2022” from 24.02.22) from the BMW press portal, where the car costs 31,750 €.

Hello together, I am currently forced to look for a new car. Since I have always had a BMW, but also a Mini Cooper S, I am still interested in the Mini model. I have seen that there are two different gear lever versions in the Mini with the automatic transmission, can you tell me what the difference is here? There is once the longer, “crowded” and once the shorter, finer one that resembles that of the BMW. Thank you in advance. B este Greetings

Does anyone have the exact data of the gear ratio of the Cooper D 1.5l 3 Zyl or the 2.0l 4Zyl Cooper SD? Since I’m looking for a car where I drive a lot of highway, a long translation would certainly save sprite. The Cooper D is indicated with 3.6l and 4.1l for the SD. Maybe one of you has such a vehicle and can tell me how much tours in the 6th gear at 120km/h?

In my search for a mini I noticed that some 192hp and others have 178hp. Apparently the 178hp vehicles are the newer models. Is it advisable to look for a 192hp vehicle in terms of the exhaust emission standard? Was other things changed besides the PS?

Hi together, swarming knowledge or opinions are required. I want to buy a mini, I am indiscriminate which model (Clubman, Mini, Mini Cooper). I drive a lot of highways, enough 102 hp? What are the weaknesses with the mini? Have heard of control chain and high oil consumption?! Can you recommend a petrol or diesel more? Can I set myself on a year of construction from which the mini is “reliable? On what must I pay attention to when buying? Thank you!

Hello everyone, I would like to have an opinion of the Bubble: I have been driving an F57 (2.0, 192 hp) from 1st hand for 6 months, BJ 7/2019, KM-Stand 15450, I bought it with 9800 KM. Last oil change “in between” had been carried out at 8400 KM by the previous owner in specialized workshop. Night service would be due in 21,000 KM or 5/2023. The thing has included a service plan contract until 06/2014. Per year I may drive a maximum of 10,000 km. Now I have thought, I give him a in the change of oil and filter, since it is still something up to 5/24? Couldn’t hurt me. Here in Berlin asked: At the BMW Mini branch Berlin the change of oil and filter should cost 523,xx €. (I listened correctly and asked again, the sum is correct…) At BMW N**zg**, 400 meters further you would like for the change of oil and filter 324,xx €. What should I do in your opinion: Wait until 5/23, until the service is due, he is “paid” so to speak already… in the BMW/Mini specialist workshop in between? With the box in a service chain (*TU) or elsewhere (free workshop) drive and let it be done? Or just let nothing be done and continue until the service interval is due? In advance, thank you for your opinions. With many regards from Berlin to you…

Grüezi, we now have two beautiful wallboxes installed in the company. Both with enough conductor cross-section (4 mm2 wg. cable length) and protection, nevertheless our Mini SE (and also a brand new ID.3 S) charges only with 6.7 kW. We always use the type 2 cables that accompany the car. The wallboxes are Vestel EVC04-22, which are set inside to a maximum of 16A. Thus, according to my Casio pocket calculator, something about the 11 kW should be accessible. or do you have another wallbox and come up with more kW? Best regards

Hey, after the update to iOS 18, CarPlay doesn’t work properly anymore. On the smartphone it shows that the connection is active but in the car the playback doesn’t start. If I want to rebuild the connection, he said that he could not connect. I then let the iPhone ignore the connection and set it up again, which also worked out. However, the connection was not established automatically again on the next trip and I did not e the same problems as before. I found an entry where it is said that some have a problem with it and the solution was that you have to activate the screen time for CarPlay. But that was already set with me, which is why I can’t expect any changes here. Do you also have problems with it?

Hello all, I have a F54 Cooper S ALL4 141kW 2.0 Clubman Bj 2016. When I drove across Switzerland a few weeks ago, it suddenly popped so loud in the back that I had a trinitus. Fascit a broken original spring at the back left. Not quite safe. I never had this with my vintage cars with triple/m mileage and age. Therefore, has anyone ever had the same experience? The rear ones are both new now, but I don’t want to have the same such a break happens in the front.
