2002 BMW Mini cooper review from UK and Ireland
"The biggest con for the year 2002"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The engine had an electrical fire under the bonnet a few days ago. Scared me stiff.
BMW MINI say its prob because I did not take my car in for the recall on the handbrake - (if I had of done, they could of seen a problem) HAH!!
They have had mini for one week and still cannot find out why the engine caught fire!!, I will be left with a new one year old car, that will loose value because mini had a fault. IT STINKS.
General comments?
If they do not off me my money back, with the sale of goods act, ie unfit for its use, everyone will know about it! I do not trust driving mini anymore to get white smoke pouring out of your bonnet on the M1 - it is very scary.
