Hi... I am a new owner of a 2004 Mini Cooper She has been abused in the past but I am planning to fix her up
She idles great but the motor seems to be running rough. Almost feels like something is holding it back. Going to put in the shop and find out what may be the cause of it .

 

Welcome, and good luck!

 

Welcome to NAM! Post up some pictures of your R50 for us when you can. Hope you get your issue resolved. If you need anything, be sure to let me know!

 

Here is my new baby

 

Very nice! Love the yellow.

 

Thank you so much Pelican Parts. I'm gonna have it repainted (yellow) and add raving stripes First gotta figure out what's causing the motor to feel like it's dragging . I kinda believe the previous owner didn't change the oil, fuel filter or put the premium gas in it.

 

You're very welcome! Glad you're keeping it yellow. If you need a good place to get stripes from, check out www.mightystripes.com. They are great and we got our white stripes for our yellow R53 from them. (It's the one in my signature). Oh my! Frequent oil changes are perhaps the most important procedure you can do to maintain and prolong the life of your engine. Be sure to keep up on them every 5k miles. Once you find out what is going on and if you need any help be sure to ask. I'm sure it'll appreciate a nice good tune up since the previous owner didn't seem to keep up on the maintenance. I'm sure it is in good hands now!

 

Awesome... thank you so much. And I will for sure check them out for my stripes too . I love the yellow mini in your signature
