Dear Forum, On tomorrow I will perhaps look at my first car. It is to become a used mini. At least as a car rental I have driven Mini often and always been enthusiastic about the driving feeling. Since I have little idea of cars, however, the fear is to make a big mistake. Therefore I wanted to check here for opinions. The desired Mini Cooper is the model F55, so a five doorr. He already close to 100.00lm on the clock in three years!!. First registration was 01.2016. 13k € should cost me the whole. Is that reasonable or too expensive? Are 100000 km just too much to have fun with the car for a long time? The car will certainly not eat as much as from its previous owner. A private person. In the circle of friends and acquaintances keeps the opinion that I will be with the car constantly in the workshop and that the insurance costs me much because of the model. I know about the problems the Minis in the past but have the hope that these are passé with this newer model. We see you, I have quite considerable worries and, hope you can help me get rid of some at short notice. Thank you and best regards.

Help to make a purchase decision Mini or Golf
Hello to each other, the anticipation is growing: a new car is due. The uncertainty is drilling: which one? For 25 years I have been driving golf, now the opportunity to change. I’m attracted by the new, sporty, iconic mini. But the reliability and size of the golf are not to be despised. For comparison there are: Mini one (5-door) vs Golf 7 (5-door) both around 100 HP used young around the 16 T€ What speaks for and against the one or the other? Is the mini just as reliable and inexpensive i maintenance and maintenance? I also like to travel to the North Cape or Sicily. Is the mini just as much a travel car as the golf? I also like to take people on the back seat. Can I do this with the mini as comfortable as in the golf? I live in the mountains, in the winter there is sometimes plenty of snow here. Is the mini good in snow and ice? Questions about questions. I am curious about your experiences and opinions and advice. Thanks already in advance. pamesch

F56 Cooper S Automatik – Second hand purchase questions
Hello dear MINI community, my next one will most likely be a MINI F56 Cooper S automatic with 192 hp. Budget approx. 23k, from year of construction 2016 and as little km as possible (max. 25tkm). If you have ideas around Berlin, always like it. Infotainment, LED, cruise control are important to me, return camera and sunroof would be nice to have but not absolutely necessary, desired color would be orange, but is also not different. My questions relate more to the durability. Just like I have noticed that the models are quite solid and from BJ. 2016 the most diseases should also have been eliminated? The B48 engine doesn’t make any noise? My goal is to drive the car about 5 years and 100tkm (the vehicles I currently have in view would then have run up to 8 years old and 130tkm) – the car has to be measured, does it pack this without major repairs? Furthermore: An interesting car is about 350km away, BMW and Mini dealer, 1 year old, under 10tkm Is it possible to buy such a car over the telephone? Speak the questions over the phone, send the contract and check again and if everything fits pay the car and arrive first for collection? Or is that too risky? I think that I can save myself the on-site appointment too, because what should I find on such a young and a few km driven car what I can not ask for by phone? Also the minis that I can m I have looked at so far all were optically totally inconspicuous, and the driving feeling is known. In addition, the car has warranty and Mini Next guarantee. I thank you and wish you a nice fourth Advent or beautiful Sunday

RDKS F56 Winter tyre change possible without any problems?
Moin, I drive a Mini One F56 Bj 2015 with active RDKS if I see it right. Now I can easily change the question of winter tyres on rims if the tyres also have RDKS? So without what needs to be changed in the control unit? I would like to order a complete set of tyres at Reifen.com or something like that, there is the RDKS pre-programmed on my vehicle… Thank you for the answers.

Top speed is not reached
Hello, just have a longer highway tour behind me and it has to be noted that the top speed of 228 km/h is not reached by far on a level track. Clubman Cooper SD, Sportautomatik, EZ 2017, 190 hp. According to appearance 228 are registered. Reaching I do on level track and long run but only a maximum of 222. If you take the tacho deviation into account the car does not drive even 220… Does anyone have experience with it? What is your Clubman SD running?

Now buy a new convertible (F57) or JCW?
Hello Forum, after I stopped riding a motorcycle and sold a convertible from Stuttgart production, I think about buying a Mini Cabrio. I drive to Lake Constance on weekends, through the Black Forest and am the cruiser who never drives fast, but appreciates reserves to overtake. What does the Schwarmintelligence think: buy F57 or wait for the new model from 2024? 2. S or JCW? Thank you.

Mini One 1.2L 75 hp stutters and goes out after cold start
Hello MINI community, did not find anything suitable in the search, therefore opened up new topic… My wife’s Mini One has been having problems with cold start for a few days (since it became a bit colder). And indeed, the engine stutters a short time, sometimes it goes out completely. It was like this already in the summer, but not so bad, because he caught himself quickly and did not go out. I have read out error memory, but with deleted errors I can not do anything at all . don’t know how to interpret them. Unfortunately, there is nothing to be found on the internet. Does the mini have its own wrong codes, is there possibly a table to re-encrypt? I attach both scrennshots, vlt. has one of you a tip. Mini One First Bj 03/2016 1.2 L / 75 PS 50 Tkm run Thank you!

Mini Card Update
Because I find the map material in the Navi quite old, I would like to check if an update is available. I should install the mini update manager via Ministore for Win. It lands a file with the extension crdownload at the downloads. With Google Chrome I just can’t get this file open. On the Internet at least 10 experts give an answer: all answers do not help. What can I do? How can I get an update? (The update must be copied to USB Stick and then be installed in the car. )

Shelf life 3Cylinder F56 Cooper
After long years of abstinence, we are about to order an F56 Cooper. I read zero-commanix here about engine problems of the 3cylinders. No chain problems like the R56, no problems with durability even at high km running performance Can I conclude that these engines are completely problem-free? Or are there any constructive problems with these engines (control chain, cokes etc?) The bearing shell history from the first series is known to me, but since I’m looking forward to your answers. Greetings
