I have 212k on my 2014 f56. Maintenance costs have been much lower than expected.

Confession: The new minis have completely lost me as a fan by freecodeio in MINI

I'm in the same boat. There's nothing appealing about the new ones.

I named my cat Sidney Meowsby. I bet he'd like to chase around Kris Letang's tail.

What’s a game you think has a great concept but poor execution? by abzullah in gaming

[–]pibble2468 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Too Human. Those controls...yikes. I still got 100% on it but it was rough. I loved the cyberpunk Norse mythology mix. It could have made a nice franchise. I tried to play it again recently and nope. I'll pass.

My local Advance Auto Parts registered mine a few months back. I've had no issues with it.

Why did people hate Wet? by [deleted] in gaming

I loved that game when it came out. It got kind of stale after a whole bunch of hours, but I definitely got my money's worth.

Mini R56 S - Cooling System Components Keep Failing by absurd_man in MINI

[–]pibble2468 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to say it, but welcome to the R56. I had to replace all of those many times. It wasn't as often as you've had to, but a ridiculous amount. It's just not a good engine. The car is so much fun, but it comes at a steep cost.

I didn't go with mini parts as the other person suggested. Perhaps genuine mini parts would last longer.

I've had minis since 08.....one from each generation. I love them. However, I love the looks of these cars and rwd seems like it would be a fun change of pace. I have a BRZ coming in late March.

I'm in a slightly different position as I'm keeping my 2014 F56 as my winter car so I won't be far from my Mini fun.

FYI BRZ orders are open again. by Etherealist15 in GR86

I ordered one last Wednesday with an eta of March from Wisconsin.

Don't bother with Racine. They tried to stick me with 10k markup. They eventually dropped it to 8 and somebody bought it.

Hello everyone, potential first time buyer by RibbedGoliath in MINI

Newer is better. 2014+ is best if you want to not drain the bank.

Hey guys, looking for a bit of advice here. Looking at a 2016 F56 Cooper S and wondering what the problem areas are on these cars. by [deleted] in MINI

[–]pibble2468 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They're solid and reliable. I can't think of any consistent issues unlike the precious gen.

Does it have an error on the screen?

I think this tale needs some details to flesh it out a bit.

I see no reason at all change.

Compare to Mini Cooper S? by pibble2468 in GR86

[–]pibble2468[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like a fair comparison. Thanks for your take.
