#22 of 282 radio by mjn810 Apr 01, 2006 (7:03 pm)
We just purchased a razor bluetooth enabled cell phone. Our salesman told us our 2006 cooper S was bluetooth enabled. Can anyone tell us how to get the phone working with the car radio. Replies to this message: minitech (Apr 05, 2006 7:54 pm)
#23 of 282 Body work by rbell1 Apr 03, 2006 (4:35 pm)
Does anyone know where a good place for body work is in the Hollywood area. I had a fender bender and my front bumper is pretty scratched up. It's one of those repairs that I will get vastly different quotes from place to place.

Replying to: mjn810 (Apr 01, 2006 7:03 pm) well...you can go back to mini dealer and tell the salesman that he is on crack!! The Mini is not factory equiped with a Bluetooth kit. There is a dealer installed kit available though. You can see it on dealership website under accessories..not cheap but it works. Dont expect crystal clear quality, but if you are used to any bluetooth product you know what I mean.   If by chance I am the one on crack by telling you that your car does not have bluetooth already.. goto settings on phone..connections..bluetooth..set up..find me..now before hitting find me. You have to get car bluetooth into pairing mode. The dealer kit(which is what Im used to) goes like this..options..setup..pairing. Something like that. read manual..thats right off top of my head so if Im a little off..sue me. Now hit find me on phone-will tell you discoverable for 60 sec. on phone hit back..handsfree-phone will look for a signal..it should link. Minis are good about bluetooth link, unlike BMWs. once it has found device pair to it and there you go...if i left something out....well...it wont work..keep trying. read manual. but i think i got everything.. good luck but i think your salesman is on crack...
#26 of 282 Jerky and sputtering in idle by macdpj Apr 12, 2006 (4:16 pm)
I purchased a mini 2005 in June of 2005. One month after owning the car it completely died in the middle of a busy bridge. I was stopped and tried to accelerate and it started sputtering and jerking then died. It was towed to the dealership where they said they solved the problem. It then occurred two other times with trips back to the garage. Since then I find it very jerky and, as someone mentioned, feels like it's about to die in idle. I've only used premium gas as the owners manual recommends this but the guys at the dealership did mention to use lower octane gas. Has anyone had this experience with their mini and does anyone know what is the cause because the guys at the mini garage don't seem to know.

#27 of 282 rag top care by esquared Apr 17, 2006 (4:35 am)
Don't know if this has been addressed else where, but I just bought a 2006 Mini S Convertible (WHICH I LOVE). Mini doesn't seem to recommend one product over another to care for my ragtop. Anyone have good recommendations? Its my first convertible (second Mini) and unfortunately I don't have covered parking so this is an issue.   Thanks!

Replying to: rayt2 (Jun 01, 2005 6:48 am) I change oil and filter every 5,000 miles, have 45,000 miles on my '03 Cooper, no problems whatsoever. Call it peace of mind insurance. I also drive lots of short-haul trips in Maine winter weather, so I figure that in to the stress quotient too.
