  • Mini Cooper S R53 allg. Tuning or JCW-Kit

    Hello guys, I thought about buying a Cooper S about a year ago. The first test drive was sobering, because I introduced it to me a little bit faster but I often read behind that the motor in the force development is just unspectacular and the measured values are better than it feels. And the values in the elasticity and acceleration are indeed ok. The inspection of another car was unfortunately disappointing. So now I’m going to look at the Cooper S with compressor. What interests me, so in advance, what does it look like with a performance increase? It only has 65tkm on it. What are the possibilities and how much do they cost? Of course it shouldn’t be an ebay chip for 150 euros So what are the possibilities that are good, also of durability and how much does it cost?

  • Power sources for DSP amplifiers at the Mini Clubman

    In addition to the W206 forum, I am also at home in the mini forum on Motor-Talk. 🙂 In a few weeks, my better half will get their Cooper Clubman from 2020. Since the car only has the standard sound system, something stronger has to be done. I have planned the system as far as possible, but I hope to get some tips about the power sources. In addition to the usual safety box in the engine compartment, I still have the one behind the glove compartment. Are there any other boxes or power distributors where I can tap the current for the amplifier (desirable value in the trunk)? _____ In case you are interested in what I want to install, here is a brief description of my project: Centrally the new sound system is to be controlled by a Match Up 8 DSP. The signals for front/rear channels are picked up directly on the radio. This is done by a quadlock on ISO T adapter and the ISO connection cable of the verse In addition to new Koax speakers in the front doors, the car gets new 2-Ohm underseat woofers, which are actively driven. Accordingly, they are separated from the original wire harness and equipped with a sparate wiring from the amplifier. The old cables are still used to fire the door speakers, since they switch in parallel in the origin. Matching sockets for bridge are already available. Thus, the system is operated over 6 channels. We’re in Cologne!

  • Weakness of approach / Second of thought

    Hello. I don’t have to specify a car brand now. I’ve been desperately looking for someone in various forums for weeks who has found a solution for the lack of access or even a second of thought – independently of the car brand there is this topic, but apparently nobody has a solution. 90% of all drivers (who have already answered on other in forums) apparently don’t mind – I belong to the 10% And it only happens maybe once per 50 car rides – you don’t drive like the full-blown through the city traffic and not every traffic light is an invitation to DragRace. But there are situations that I want, or I have to react and/or quickly start driving. Examples: – “Town highway” three-lane, speed limit 60km/h, you drive up in the middle lane to the traffic jam and come to the stand, left lane goes off, and gets free, in the side mirror a vehicle comes about 40m away, turn signals out, give gas, want to quickly get to the left – but the car doesn’t start fast – it doesn’t start at all – after a second, because in the panic the accelerator pedal has already been pushed quite deeply it starts with a set – but the coming vehicle has already driven 20m in a second and now it gets quite tight and I take the other vehicle priority – I don’t think so – I hate people who do this with me… But there are countless examples of other car driving in all possible situations like Kreisverkehr, from a side road, from a parking space, etc… with all possible car brands with automatic gearboxes, whether DKG or converter. Is there already a solution? – And please no answers as with me not – ok, then you belong to the 90% – or, my Porsche does not have it – yes, my Porsche does not have it either, my jeep did not have it, I never had it with a vehicle – but the Mini has this “thinking second”. Is it because of the electronics? At the gearbox? Is that wanted – what can I do about it – it annoys me and makes me uneasy because I don’t have any confidence in my vehicle, because it doesn’t do what I expect it to do… Thanks and LG

  • Rugging of the engine at load

    Moin people, I have a Mini Cooper Countryman (136hp, switch) for a short time. Now I noticed something that was not present during the test drive. If I give the car a high load in the high gear with little revolutions, then the whole car is jerking as if the engine had “shuck up”. Since then I no longer drive with little revolutions as possible, but hold the revolutions at approx. 2300 – 2500 rpm. However, this “shuck up” also comes when I am in sport mode with high U My guess is that the car dealership has fuelled E10 and that may be the problem. Now I’ve filled Ultimate 102 (if it doesn’t work for the acceleration, but I felt better with it) to see if it’s still there. And in fact it’s “sportl” and “sportl” and “sportl” and “sportl” and “sportl” and “sportl” and “sportl” and “sportl” and “sportl” and “sportl” and “sportl” and “sportl” and “sportl” and “sportl” and “sportl” and “sportl” and “sportl” and “sportl” are not very strong anymore. I’m still partly there. Have you ever heard of this?

  • Encoding display brightness with Bimmercode

    Hello, I’m Bernd from Bavaria and new here in this MINI forum (I’m moving a lot in the parallel BMW 5 Series G30 Motor Talk). My vehicles are: MINI Cooper S Cabrio, year 2020, MINI Cooper, year 2008, BMW 530d Xdrive G30, year 2021, BMW M 1000 XR, year 2024. I’m working on my 5 Series BMW with Bimmercode and Bimmerlink. For the two MINIs I have now bought the OBD adapter UniCarScan UCSI-2100, with which these mentioned apps can be connected to the MINIs on an IPhone (the BMW h My question here to the coding experts: I want to get the display brightness of the display in the center console to the maximum permanently. Precisely: the PDC brightness (if this is active). I have not really dealt with this task thoroughly: Some time ago I put something in the normal menus of the car (without Bimmercode) brighter – but that was not permanent and hardly the maximum A brightness that I thought I’d noticed in certain situations (environment brightness). So, to the point: How do I get the brightness of the center console (PDC) display on MAXIMAL with or without Bimmercode? If so, expert mode in Bimmercode: which parameter with which entry? And similar question: the clarity to the rear is catastrophically bad in the convertible because of the wide C column. This can hardly defuse the PDC. CH a rear-view camera in an F56 or F57 at what costs with which experiences can be installed? VG Bernd

  • Roof rack WITHOUT railing for Mini Countryman ALL SE Hybrid (F60)

    Hello together! I am looking for a roof rack for my Mini Countryman ALL SE Hybrid (Bj. 2017, i.e. F60). Unfortunately, it has no railing or mounting points. On the homepage of various manufacturers (e.g. Atera or Thule) only a list with railing versions is displayed in the vehicle-specific selection after input of Mini/Countryman/F60/… can it be that for my model – so without railing – there are no roof racks at all, respectively none fit? .B. at Thule so many different systems with vehicle-specific mounts, which one clamps into the door frame (so-called mounting kits). Has any of you ever mounted a roof support on an F60 series of Mini without railing, or experiences with it? If so, which products? Thank you for the answers!

  • Worries for the First Car Purchase

    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
