11-5-2007 Day one of new R56
MC S ownership - Red warning light comes on for 30 seconds on M11 on way home from dealership.
Arrive home - unable to secure car as no central locking and drivers door will not shut due to window in fully raised position - red warning light on - no lights.
Call out MINI assist - unable to diagnose fault as does not have latest software.
However shows me how to close door by pushing glass at top, lock car manually.
Check car before retiring - lights on, sun roof open but no key in the ignition! Get roof shut, disconnect battery.
12-5-2007 Ring dealership, re-connect battery - everything working. Car booked in for 23-5-2007.
16-5-2007 to date - Warning light comes on intermittently, lights etc fail for 30 seconds or so then clears itself - check control shows no problems - however windows do not always raise - source of problem? unable to reach Dealer before fault rectifys itself - frustating.
Other faults:
Buzz/rattle from ignition switch surround, leak through trim of drivers door, top end of engine seems noisy, throttle jerky - not impressed, had numerous BMW's since 1996 always reliable, also run 5 series - no problems.
