Vredestein Tires
Eastern-Berry372
  • Noise:
  • Ride comfort:
Rating 4.0

I just put the Vrederstein Quatrac Pro+ on my 24 Mini Countryman S All4, replacing the Pirelli runflats that were good tires, but kinda loud and you could feel every imperfection in the road. I don't have a lot of miles on em yet, but they are definitely quieter and more comfortable.

Pros: quieter, more comfortable
Cons: lose a little air

Bilstein Shock absorbers
MediaCrtitic
  • Body bounce:
  • Bottoming:
Rating 4.0

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.

Pros: puts a smile on face
Cons: needed bringing up to state

RED LINE Engine oil

I use Redline 5w-40 because I noticed my engine burns a quart every 2000miles using other brands or thinner grades. With RedLine there is barely any consumption.

Pros: low oil consumption
Cons: burns oil otherwise
Vehicle: MINI Countryman
Mileage: 2000 km

OEM MINI Valve cover gasket
hkim562
  • Visible leaks:
Rating 5.0

Had same issue on my 2016 R60 Countryman S. My notification for low oil pressure only occurred when I turned left at intersection or roundabout. It was strange. I took a flash light and looked around and engine bay and noticed that there what appeared to be fine misting of engine oil around valve cover toward washer fluid tube. Took Mini into dealership and they discovered that the valve cover gasket on the right side had a crack hence when I turn a certain direction the valve cover would open up just enough to spray oil out and loose pressure. Replaced valve cover and gasket and works perfectly now. Just thought I share if your mini has this weird low oil pressure when you are turning.

Pros: works perfectly now
Cons: low oil pressure
Vehicle: MINI Countryman
