speedkar99 | Mini Cooper Mechanical Review @speedkar99 | Uploaded 3 years ago | Updated 1 hour ago
Here's a look under the hood and underneath the Mini Cooper!
The Mini Cooper is BMW's small car division that uses a front wheel drive platform and a B38 1.5L Inline 3 cylinder turbo engine with an 8 speed automatic transmission. Under the hood, things are very compact, even for a small car, with regular maintenance items being a chore to access and work on. Throughout the vehicle, there's the extensive use of aluminum (for a small car) a general complexity and funky layout of some components.
For the buyer considering one, the fun to drive nature and styling may be lucrative but buyer beware that in the longer term, wear and tear items aren't in the typical easy to service locations, such as the timing belt being on the backside of the engines and require engine removal to service!
