I have a 2003 Mini with 55k miles and its at 19k in repairs for major component failures now Im "out of luck". Failed transmission, front and rear axles, harmonic balancer, clutch, the driveline exploded sending parts 200 feet from the car, air conditioner broke, power steering fan, control arm bushings, cracked brake, drive shaft, thrust arm bushings, the seat rail broke, passenger window motor failed, and the sunroof shade even broke.
Unexceptable manufactured car.
