It's a BMW - what could possibly go wrong? Oh.

Wifey wants a Mini. If we ever got one. It would have to be AWD.

Honestly the 3rd generation F56 mini cooper needs less maintenance compared to the earlier original mini’s as they are co developed by Chrysler.

Well that alone you know where Chrysler went compared to BMW.

Recommend oil change is once a year or 10K miles but I’ll do 5K miles and cost $60 bucks for synthetic.

Common failure is just about any car with wear and tear. Transmissions fluid is never flashed or changed as it is a sealed type transmission. Which kinda worries me.
But based from my research this 3rd generation mini can ran 300K miles in normal driving operation.


Of course things to check are brake pads, rotors, bmw breakable fisher price plastics and corroding rubber bushing!

My mini has 98 months corrosion Warranty from factory.

I have a 2005 mini conv, and in the 18 months I have owned it, just oil changes.

Now when I bought it I did change all the fluids / brakes and the normal type stuff.. It runs great, only think I don't like its an auto

I think the mini is more size of a Toyota compact

My neighbor across the street growing up had 3 orginal Austin Coopers. Hed put them on a trailer every now and then and take them somewhere. Not sure if he raced them or showed them. I thought they were so cool. Now those cars were MINI. The modern ones, not so much mini.

I think the regular one is still 150-160", which is still small. I do miss seeing the Mr Bean car

A friend of mine in the UK has an original mini, which he hill climbs and takes on cruises and to shows. He is not a particularly small guy. It's more a vehicle that he wears, rather than drives!

My wife wants a mini 'vert or a Wrangler.... but she is too practical and can't bring herself to purchase something when her 150k mile Toyota Yaris is still running so well and "will probably go another 100k" as she says it. I'm a proud cheapskate.

You got me looking at JCW minis. Just love how they drive. I kinda lean towards the clubman.
Spoke with a rep via internet but they were so rude to me that I just cut them off. So I'm probably going to look out of state.

Man they are the best! Very visceral the turbo is quick Didnt feel much turbo lag.

Because of the short wheel base the car turns quick with the steering wheel.

Im actually considering of buying another one JCW. But I wouldn’t want to trade my truck.

If only my kids knows how to drive manual I would have bought this instead!

You might like this one nice options! Get it before I do! Lol
