| May 201642500 mi | Bought this car used and the original battery was never changed out. Took it to an independent shop rather than the dealer to have it fixed and to have them give it a look over as I didn't quite trust the dealer at that point.

I had been warned about stopping immediately if the light came on as it could mean having to buy a new engine. The radiator fan died and in traffic consequently the engine overheated since there was no ambient airflow over the radiator. Complained to the dealer that the car was just over a month old and the even if it wasn't certified, that they should replace it as they are a premiere MINI/BMW dealer in Honolulu. They agreed and all has been good since then. | ||

Part cost over $100, shop supplies and 1 hour labor - $300. Bucking, near to complete stall when slowing or stopping. Poor acceleration, slow then jackrabbit burst of speed (auto transmission). Burning 2 quarts of oil/month, blue smoke emission noted. Oil on wires around engine. Top off oil or else. Bucking, stalling upon stop, low idle. Carbon blowout treatment given, power restored to engine. Mechanic suspects headgasket replacement needed. Hard to find someone that knows what he's doing. Dealer shop doesn't know, either. Expensive parts. Trading it in no matter how much I love the car - ridiculous amount of major $$$ repairs :( | ||

My Mini then went to the dealer that said I had 3 oil leaks and a bad turbo. They said that 2 of the oil leaks were nothing to worry about. After leaving the dealer I took my Mini to another shop for a second opinion. They said that my turbo had a bad hose, I needed a new belt, and that the 2 oil leaks that were nothing are actually pretty substantial. All in I had to spend $1700 out of pocket. | ||
