So I picked up an r50 mini for my 13 year old son for nothing and I need 914world quality information to get it all perfect. I am used to very small communities... There are so many mini groups... Anyone know of a group that's as useful as 914world? Tall order, I know.

As the owner of a 2003 Mini Cooper R50 since 2005, I can attest that Mini owners on the whole (excluding me of course (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)), are the most unsavvy of all car owners. Most are Gen Y and Z air heads that couldn't replace a wiper blade or a tail lamp at gunpoint, let alone do an oil change, God forbid.
The typical string on a Mini forum goes like this: Question - My car's making this funny noise, what could it be? Comment - Hey, mines doing that too. Answer - Better take it to the dealer. So, my boy, you are on your own, Sorry. Osnabruck914 |

It's calculation by BMW and MiniCooper to keep tight control on the information needed to repair the Mini Cooper anywhere else but at the authorized stealerships. You can't even get accurate torque wrench values for rebuilding the various types of Mini Cooper engines. |
