I have a brand new 2005 Cooper S (1 week old), and the front bumper is "drooping" - it rides about 3/16" (.5 cm) lower on the left than on the right. It's not loose - it feels pretty solid - but it is definitely lower.

Is this at all normal? Is there some screw/bolt that I can adjust to fix this? Anybody else dealt with this?

My dealer is almost 3 hours away, so I'd rather not drive over there just for this.

Thanks!

Hi and Welcome

I had a similar problem with my MCS. The dealer told me it was a Mini characteristic! He changed his mind when he saw it. I had a larger gap between the bonnet and front bumper on one side. (have a look in my gallery at the pics) I took it back and they fixed it under warranty

They only had it half an day and dealer said it was a simple job, just undoing some screws and clips on the bumper.

Hope this helps, i had to get mine fixed it was annoying me!

Thanks, Claire. I guess I'll have to get it to the dealer, sometime.
