Despite the fact that I had to pour quite a bit of $ into bringing ours up to an OK state (Bilstein shocks, new rims, brakes, battery and alternator) it always puts a smile on my face and makes me want to drive it more.
I buy Kormoran tyres for our Mini, Made in Romania or Poland and owned by Michelin.
Moved on from the run flats to Vredestein Quatrac Pro+. No run flats, no bubbles, and a SIGNIFICANT improvement in ride and noise. Seriously, switch away from these tires and you will only regret not doing it sooner
Been satisfied with regular Trico replacements
Just ordered a new set of Nokian tires for my Mini Cooper. It is reportedly a very good brand.
I put the Valeo single mass kit on my 04...has been awesome!
Go to an independent BMW shop. PowerStop Z23 pads are a super budget friendly option. I've run them on all 3 of my street MINIs. Very quiet and low dusting but good performance.
EBC pads are highly overrated for the price. Red stuff are pretty squealy and dust more than stock. Initial bite is about the same.
My older brother had a 2012 Mini Cooper S and the timing chain snapped, which is pretty common for this model.
I replaced the Alternator on my 2016 Mini Cooper Paceman with a brand new Bosch Alternator. For whatever reason the Alternator is only putting out 11-11.6 volts.
