A B A B Please read the threads on NAM (North American Motoring.com). I’ve never met an R56 owner without issues unfortunately.

@@monsieurdiecasts3393 my R55 was a nightmare, sadly I was already into the car for 10k buying it when I thought I got a deal at 60K miles and clean car fax history, that engine took a 5k dump on me Leaking turbo, leaking injectors, bad cat from all the fuel and oil dumping into the system. I am still thinking i might have a small leak in my head gasket but I am not seeing the signs of it, from a pressure test and coolant test. so now into the R55 n14 for 15k, 6k more then the value of the car currently.
Ive had a supercharged SL55 previously. Came over to a turbo r56 and not sure if they got a blowoff valve on there or what but I LOVE the turbo noise more than my supercharged SL whine
These are really one of the best enthusiast cars out there. Good power, feels solid on the road. Worth the money and time in upkeep. More fun than my M3 and M5 around town. Get one.
@@ChunkyMonkey561 208k Miles. Swapped alternator because i fried it with a double amplifier setup. Going to get new suspension soon. Passenger mirror cover knocked loose. Otherwise still a dream.
Tricks.. 1. Hold down the open button on the keyfob, windows go down and sunroof opens to cool the car down in hot weather before you get in. 2. Hold the lock button and the windows and sunroof close 3. Glove box is air conditioned, acts like a fridge for drinks 4. Zero torque steer - if it is then something is wrong. 5. At 220km an hour (136 MPH) it sucks the ground and drives like you are doing 80km..
You are spot on about the torque steer. My mother has a 2011 S and the torque steer is bad. It has never been in a wreck, she is 2nd owner, the car is in phenomenal shape with 48,000 miles on it but the torque steer is really bad. Nice job you did on your Mini! Peace
Got myself an R53 for $1600. 90k miles. Needed a new cutch and blower, as well as a headliner and some other bits and bobs. I’m about 3k into in total. But it’s a great clean car now.
I live in U.K. The home of the mini. I've got a 2003 cooper, not a s model, just a 1.6 cooper. It's not the fastest car I've owned, but it's so much fun to drive. The chassis is so good. The car is so reliable, there so in expensive its ridiculous. If you want a fun little car? Buy one you'll not be disappointed.
I guess anything is “reliable” when compared to Range Rovers and Jags 🙃 As far as the R53 being British...German parts with a Brazilian Chrysler engine, not much British about it aside from the name and optional British flag decals 🤣
@@benjaminwimer5930 I actually do! Up in Coeur d' Alene, ID. Unfortunately I actually sold the mini a few months back. I've still got some other project cars to cruise though.
@@TaylorSmithCars awesome! I'm 16 years young and I have 4 cars to myself. 4 are big projects of themselves! I'd love to swap info somehow and see about this summer maybe burn some rubber or anything!
That stage 3 clutch will wear out within 6 months to a year but you can use a solid clutch disc it'll smooth out the ride even with your single mass flywheel
Great deal for a fun little car. No matter what you buy if it is used you will have to put some money onto the car to get it perfect. That is why used cars with cheap repair parts are the best ones, if you don't mind getting your hands dirty you will save a lot of money. I do hear the Mini is a pain to work on and the parts are not very cheap however but for less that $1500, it's a steal.
if you need a project truck i got a 96 Nissan 4×4 XE . it runs but i think that i blew a ring or spun a bearing. I am not sure what the problem is and i dont have a place to tear it apart. if your interested I live borderline Long Beach and Compton, California
For the money that you’re into that car specially dialed in at 200 hp and reliable it’s almost insane to sell when it can just sit there and be a perfect little zip around get errands done fun car… loved the video I until the end…
I'd like to know if you recouped your outlays on this. Pretty good quality videos. Sad to hear you're selling it because TBH, it's really the only reason I subbed.
PictishWolf I ended up selling the car for $3,900, so I made a little bit of money. Thank you for the comment. I will be starting another project shortly but will be more of an American muscle situation.
Hey man, great video! I just got my driver's license, looking into buying this in Taiwan, what should I look about in terms of pre-purchase "need to know" if the car had this or that done. Also I was looking at some photos from a candidate, I noticed that the silver trim interior bits had those yellow tint stains of old plastic, do you know of these stains are easy to deal with? Thank you. Great video.
Got my Cooper at the beginning of the year.....It is a Love Hate relationship. My 1996 Nissan 240sx got crushed when it snowed and the garage fell on it and crushed it. So I got this car from a couple that Trump did not let stay in the country. It is fun fun fun to drive. Great Sound system. But driving up mountain road...……...LOL. Keep it on flat land.
These have become the poor Mans little racer now, I picked up a 2002 for around $1500 but it needed no work and had amazing spec including factory GPS (check my video's) that supercharger whine is not a stock sound BTW, and yours may have had a mid-box delete on the exhaust, as mine didn't sound that good. Interior rattles drove me insane too! as did the steering wheel controls (they put them behind the wheel so you can't see them - it's all by touch) the amount of "Common Faults" is not good on these either, but they are that cheap now, if you know your way around cars, these little cars are a whole heap of fun on a budget :)
The 2003 mini brand was owned by BMW, pretty sure the motor and other parts were by Peugeot which is why I bought the 2014 F56 100% BMW the engine is from the 328i 330i series. Either way that was a great buy!
Car was super clean, it was my bosses car and they didn’t want to deal with it when it wouldn’t start one day. The cause... dirty battery terminals. Started right up once they were cleaned and have put about 3k miles since then no issues
@@TaylorSmithCars lol funny how much it looks like here.. at least when everything is dead. I'm planning on getting a mini because good mileage without sounding like a rice burner and I'm 6'10, though thanks to kyphosis and scoliosis I typically stand about 6'6.. with the seat leaned back a little and all the way down I actually fit in these cars pretty well.. And with their gokart like handling, they will be a trip up in the Sierra Nevada foothills.
The stock intake/filter just about completely masks the intake noise from the interior. Removing the box that encloses the intake and installing a cone filter makes the intake noises very audible.
According to KBB my working fine 2002 Electric Blue Cooper S has a value of $375. So maybe yours isn't the cheapest. But I did just spend $1500 on a bunch of service
So finally is it a good car worth it to give in 2019 5000$ for a mini cooper s 2006 good condition???Is there any possibility to be lucky and avoid easy damages ?or is a pain in the ass?
I ended up selling mine for $3,900. If the 2006 you are thinking about is a lower mileage example with a good maintenance history, I would say $5,000 would be fair. Mine had 154,000 miles and was neglected pretty badly, which is why I basically had to bring it back from the dead. All in all, I really liked the car and would recommend one to anybody looking for a small performance car on a budget. I have seen many examples of these R53 Minis going well over 200,000 miles when maintained properly. If you are mechanically inclined, you shouldn't have many costly repair expenses. However, if you don't do your own work, I would anticipate spending quite a bit of money on repairs with a good european mechanic. A local shop quoted me $1,600 to replace the clutch in mine. Needless to say, that is why I did it myself.
Ymir Build walls mine has been impossibly reliable, 204,000 miles with one power steering pump replaced, other than regular breaks and oil changes that's been it. Most reliable car I've ever owned.
Wow took me till 9:00 minutes before I was like holy crap this is in post falls haha I thought earlier in the video it was but at 9 minutes I was 100% sure
ha ha im watching this video and I notice your on Hayden avenue bro. I live out at Hauser lake and am lookin to buy a mini. Whats the odds I see this lol
You realize that the BMW MINI is actually made in Oxford England just as it has always been for the past 60 years. The only difference is that BMW invested 900million in making the factory almost fully robotic. The MINI brand is very different from the BMW brand and until recently did not use BMW german made engines.(the F series uses BMW made engines)
The Tritec was also built by Rover with BMW consultancy. Rover suggested using an updated and supercharged version of the legendary K series engine which made more power than the tritec/Triton engine and was a twin cam. But BMW wanted an 'all new' engine. Kind of a shame but the engine us pretty bloody bomb proof. Bang a 20% pulley in there, cat cam, airtec stage 3 intercooler, water injection and a remap and you've got 240+ BHP and many torques for not alot.
Mohammad Kamran I agree with you, preventive maintenance is key as it is with any BMW product. This is not like my ‘95 Accord where you could skip an oil change or two and it wouldn’t matter
Here is the link to the complete playlist for this Mini Cooper from start to finish. th-cam.com/play/PLXESHawm04cOiRBud2I_E4ZTKvU_KuiPB.html
I have a 2003 electric blue/black top. Bought it new in 2003 and still have it.
Good condition?
How has maintenance been?
Really enjoyable review :)
The colour on this Mini is great too. Lucky fella to have a Dad who works with cars and you both share the joy.
Superb cars and love the colour. Loads of them here in the UK :)

Good Jamz Sir Guy
I purchased a turbo model used but wish would have purchased a supercharged one like I originally wanted ..I just love the wine noise.
RanGer498 I fell in love with the whine too. So I only looked for the R53. Didn’t even wanna look at the 2nd gen.
I have a turbo charged one aswell and have a bov spacer on it so I'm happy with the turbo noise that comes with it
Caleb Hopkins I put a bov on mine as well ...but still wish I had the super charge wine.. well I do like my interior much more thow.
@@RanGer-498 fair enough
Ive had a supercharged SL55 previously. Came over to a turbo r56 and not sure if they got a blowoff valve on there or what but I LOVE the turbo noise more than my supercharged SL whine

Fallen in love with mini after your honest review 🙏🏼
This is a great review i liked your comment about the redbull mate great job !! from Australia
Im picking up an 03 with 13100 miles. You give me hope with my 800$ mini that overheats.
For a small car that sound of the supercharger is really good
I am thinking about buying one just for fun, going to watch your videos and get an idea of what I'm going to get into.
Tricks..
1. Hold down the open button on the keyfob, windows go down and sunroof opens to cool the car down in hot weather before you get in.
2. Hold the lock button and the windows and sunroof close
3. Glove box is air conditioned, acts like a fridge for drinks
4. Zero torque steer - if it is then something is wrong.
5. At 220km an hour (136 MPH) it sucks the ground and drives like you are doing 80km..
Beautiful mini! I love the sound
The 2021 has a pretty good sound system and is pretty quick

Wonderful review. Thanks!
sounds beautiful
You just made me remember that when I sold my 2006 Mini I left a CD in the player too.
how come it sounds like a supercharger?
Because it HAS a supercharger.
