Hello all, I’m desperate. My beloved Mini Cooper, not driven for 3 years, EZ 05 and 126,500 km, now has a transmission damage. Cost point including clutch and installation at a friend: 2000 €. That’s insanely much money for me and I don’t know if it would be worthwhile for me and the Mini. I’m very likely to sell it. Now my question: how can I still make the most money with it. 8,500 €. Whatever comes, I have a huge loss

Since my business trip led me through the Black Forest today, the ideal opportunity was for me to get used to my work in its future field of operation, curvy country roads. On the way back I was on the track Hinterzarten – Feldberg, when suddenly an orange / black Pagani Zonda (over 600 hp and well over 500,000,– Euro expensive ) appeared in the rear view mirror. As I saw later, the vehicle had an Italian license plate and it sat an Italian Gigo My driving style seemed to please him and he made me understand that he would like to feel my work on the tooth. Anyway, we slightly increased the speed and had a lot of fun for a while. When the steep uphill track became two-lane, I then waved him (didn’t want to turn my works over 4000 rpm), but without the pressure on him. The tyres had meanwhile been nice warm, so that the speed continued to grow. But since my work just didn’t want to be shaken off, he tried to get the last one out of his racer. In a steep uphill passage ( 180 degree curve ), in which I was still right behind him, it came as it had to come, he put his Zonda into the botany. By the sharp braking his rear has become so light that it was overtaken by the same. The front wheels are stuck in the botany and the rear hung noc h half into the road. If the sensational brakes of the works had not been, my or his insurance would now be several hundred thousand lighter. Luckily, however, I just got to stand a few centimeters from his passenger side. Of course, I waited quite gentlemen until he had his car back on the road again, only for another comparison with my works he had no desire anymore. But then we are together for a while through the Schwarzwa ld drove and he then kindly said goodbye to me with a Hupkonzert (typically Italian) at a crossroads. Fortunately, I used my photo phone to get the ride of posterity on paper or chip. Is almost like a six in the lotto to find a car in the wild and to be able to compete with it. Markus

Hello guys, my girlfriend bought a used Mini One built in 2006. The radio key didn’t work, which according to the seller was on the battery, because he was standing around. So I was at the friendly one the week and ordered a new one. It cost me 140€. Three days later the good piece was picked up, unfortunately with my car, so I couldn’t test it directly. At home wanting to initialize, nothing goes. With the mini to the friendly one who tries again: nix There I got to hear that it could also be on the receiver. Grober new cost advance: another 240€ Ah, great.. They don’t take the key back, because special order and another 240€ for that they can radio and lock.. Thank you. Ok, then google asked where the receiver is. In the inside mirror. Well, the part is taken apart.. See there: PCB is broken (see picture) So, now my request: Where do I get such a new board? And possibly ni cht über den Freundlichen.. I’ve already looked for a completely new interior mirror, but I only find one for 150€ from Denmark.. I don’t have to do that to myself.. Info ́s, suggestions, always with it! MFG

Hello together. I recently discovered a liquid in the passenger’s footroom at my (R56) Mini, which apparently dripped from the center console? (See photo). The liquid is now hardened and feels like wood resin. It also seems no longer to follow. Warning lights or the like have not been addressed. I also found nothing unusual in the driving behaviour. The only thing that was last done on the car was a new windshield… perhaps give someone an assessment of this? Should I go directly to the workshop? Thank you and best regards Michae

Hello, I need your help and your experience! Probably you have answered this very often but I rely on your understanding. I have a budget of max. 6500 EUR and would like to buy a MINI Cooper S! He should not have run over 130,000 km since I have about 100 km of work every day. So now my question! Is there always problems with the engine or gearbox? Or can you also find good copies? Please write m I have to pay attention to what!!!! Thank you very much

Hello, there may be some changes in my career and will therefore have to drive about 70km to work. The initial salary will also be a bit low, so I’m looking for a fuel-efficient diesel that looks good and has come across a mini. Does anyone have experience with a Mini One D? This:http://www.autoscout24.de/Details.aspx?… My questions are: I drive about 25% highway and 75% highway. How could the verb be about in normal driving mode? How far do you get with a Mini One D with a full tank? Do these models have any “mistakes”? Is such a mini suitable for long distances or should I rather consider something else? My budget would be around 14000 euros. Thanks for your help.

Hello, my second thread with you In my R60 the MINI Connected is included. But there is no docking station in the armrest. I have now bought a Y cable video / audio, because I think that the retrofitting of the snap will cost a bit. iPhone is now on the passenger seat… In the stand you can also look at Viedos, but not great quality, but nice, not that you understand me wrong Has jmd an iPad with holder for the Center Rail? I am interested, and my two children also *hihi* How is that with you? What do you have? Are you right? I am even more excited about strolling than looking for your answers! LG Countryuschi

Hello dear Mini municipality. Our Countryman SD EZ 09/2014 needs winter tires so slowly. From the production date of July my dealer informed me that the tyre pressure control in the vehicle would be implemented ex factory and therefore the set of winter tires with rims would also have to get the sensors. Question Has someone already got these sensors and if so at what price. According to my dealer a sensor should cost 90,- €. Personally I find that a bit violent.
