  • Cooper S with JCW Kit differ from the series JCW… how?

    I ask myself whether there are optical distinguishing features, by which you can see whether you have a Cooper S with kit and 192hp or a series JCW with 211hp. Especially when buying a car, this would be interesting. You don’t have to drive many KMs, then you have to look at the papers to see that it’s not a “real” work.

  • Mini One R50, no wiping water on the rear wiper!

    Hello, have a Mini One Built 2003, R50, where at the rear windscreen wiper no water comes out. If I push the re. lever on the steering column forward I also hear no noise of the pump. I pull the lever to me from the water nozzles of the windscreen properly out the water. My questions: 1. Does the Mini One R50 have two wiper water motors? 2. If no, this means that the wiper water engine at the front is defective, because only the windshield water arrives. 3. What does the Mini One R50 have? Should I do to become master of the matter?

  • MINI – One or Cooper?

    Hello dear motor-talker! I have already informed myself about one/cooper and if I would buy the part anew, it would be clearly the cooper. However, this does not give the budget and therefore should become a used one. I had two offers made to myself today and can not decide. However, since I am also under 25 and still one year in the probation period, the insurance would also play a small role (I will calculate again). ff me from you a few more objective and better arguments (as my own) for the one or the other To the cars: The Cooper is EZ 03/09, 120hp and has 80,000km The One is EZ 11/09, 95hp and has 41,000km Both have the same equipment and should cost 11,000€. If they both had the same number of km I would take the cooper, but so I am not sure for the same money either. What do you think about it? Thank you and love, Maitia

  • Cooper S doesn’t start, just gives a “crack” sound (battery is ok)

    Hi, I have a Mini Cooper S R53, yesterday I drove 200 kilometers without any problems. This morning I wanted to work quite normally, But there was only a crack noise. Engine does not start, or turns.. Battery came new 2 years ago. I then called the Adac. The checked the battery, and it is perfectly fine. He then tried to bridge the front of the engine compartment and then directly at the back of the battery. Both without success. More than the clacking did not come. Then me And then he tried to push the hand. Of course he didn’t. Then he said something was blocking the engine. Can that be? I mean, if a gear is in place you can’t push it at all, right? Does any of you have any idea what it might be about? Thank you in advance!!

  • To recommend or fingers away? R53 125kw BJ ́06 150tkm

    Moin people, since my Bora has not survived the last few years and the family has also become bigger and bigger I have since changed to your Touran Bj. 2011. My wife thinks it is so great that I now need something small for me and MINI I have always found great. I have found the following offer now and wonder what I can possibly check for myself on a visit/sample trip as layman. https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/…/517307195-216-1 6774 My driving profile: 90% would only be used for trips to work. Altogether about 20km, first 2.5km through the village to the highway, then 15km highway and then again 2.5km through the village to the office. Look forward to helpful tips and own experiences.

  • Big difference One to Cooper R56?

    We will probably decide in October for a used MINI R56, but is not yet sure if it will be a One with 95hp or a Cooper with 120hp. The main area of use is urban area (journey to work, shopping); sometimes there is long distance to 300km one-way, and a holiday trip to Italy should also go out. Or on. Well, the One has 25hp less, but is the difference so serious? According to various reports on the Internet, you don’t feel so much like this. Well, that’s why I’m asking you here.

  • Power loss Mini Cooper S, R53

    Power loss Mini Cooper S, R53 Hello Mini Freaks, maybe one can help me. My Mini Cooper S, EZL 2004, Type R53, mileage 130000km has been suffering from power loss for some time now. Symptom: At the beginning this was not felt on the road, only on the highway the TopSpeed reached 200km/h. Now you can feel it on the road as well. The engine is not willing, is not well on the gas, jerks when accelerating. If the engine is still in the cold running phase, f This feels much better. The engine then works almost as before. Works performed: Inspection (air filter, candles, oil) Error memory: No information. Reset Boardelectronik. Due to the phenomenon that the mini runs in the cold running phase, the petrol pressure was tested. In stand 3.4bar and with full gas 6000U/min 4.6bar. In the Mini Service Manual stands for in stand 3.5bar +-0.2bar. I think the petrol pressure is OK. If you could give me a few tips, I would be very pleased. Or You know a well-versed mini screwdriver room Osnabrück Münster. From my experience you can’t get there with every BMW workshop.

  • My Cooper One with 90hp is pretty sluggish???

    Hello together. I have now changed from several VW and Audi to the Mini One. Thought the 1.6 16V with 90 hp would pull well but think. One has now driven Polo GTI a lot or the 1.6 8V 75 hp or 1.4 16V with 101 hp and they all ran around classes better. Mine was driven by an azubin. I think always undertouring. He runs with quite, much effort 170km/h. I have now renewed spark plugs, the air filter was thrown out because everything looked like first set. ffener K&N in it to test if it gets better. Pustekuchen. Even in the appearance he is in it with over 180km/h. So what can it be? AGA tight? He has now 120tkm down. Thanks for the help

  • Mini Countryman SD 4 ALL Aut. Consumption

    Hello I have a question to all Countryman SD 4 ALL Aut. Drivers. How much is your average consumption? We have a countryman bought in 2014. Currently 15tkm are driven, but the consumption is not less but more. My wife drives approx. daily 90km work path. of which are approx. 80km highway, 6km highway and 4km city. It does not rest, on the motorway cruise at 130-140kmH. The average consumption is 8.7l diesel. t from the indicated average consumption of 5,9-6,1 far. Of course we also criticized it several times in the car dealership. BMW then arranged a consumption test, which the ATH also carried out. Test was driven without light, without ventilation and radio etc. (probably with 50kmh) According to ATH the vehicle moves within the specified framework At the moment we also don’t know what else to do about it, except to use the local transport. The Mini Clubman we had before was driven with 5.2l diesel.
