Well, hopefully they can reprogram the ECU to prevent that. The one thing that has bothered me most about the MINI is the electrical system. I can forsee a lot of problems for long term ownership, but "that's the way it is." Most things are designed on a computer now and sometimes they don't work in the real world like they do in cyberspace. If I decide to get a MINI (and it is up in the air at the moment given the growing lists of problems and the inability of BMW to correct them), I will probably install an aftermarket amp gauge so I can tell if there is a major battery drain when the key is off. It would go a long way toward preventing a lot of calls to MINI services. |
