scary stuff i'm reading... bought my
MCS june 2004, built and complied 04 Monte Carlo Rallye Model. Anyway from day 1 i heard a tapping sounds when cold... after different opinions and taking it back and forth to work shop the diagnosis was the thrust... or throw bearing i think it was. They had to replace the whole gear box
Serioulsy... i love my car... but i read so many problems and issues on these forums that it scares me. Sometimes i really wonder.. are these cars really that good??!! I mean.. for BMW engineering... there's heaps of problems and faults out there. We pay big dollars for these cars...
BMW are lucky to have such a strong culture backing the mini brand... if that wasnt the case i'm sure this car would be a dud and have a bad reputation.
Anyway... i'm a little ticked as i'm starting to hear the ticking sound in tunnels coming from under the bonnet.
