Hi everyone, my name is Mike. I have lurked around the site for a good while, but just joined today.
I currently own a 2012 Countryman S All4, Light Coffee & Carbon Black. I have had it for about 6 months now and (knock on wood) no major issues, a few minor maintenance issues but thats normal. Was well maintained by PO.
I love driving my Mini!
Flow MINI the dealer in my area loaned me some MINI advertising stuff for our tent at MOTD one of which was for the Countryman. I took the stuff back yesterday and during some talk he noted that the Countryman was the biggest seller. They are a great handling vehicle.
Hi and welcome to the NAM family, MrGrumpy!
Nice looking countryman S!
Lots of info here to keep you Mini in good shape.
Keep up on maintenance and only use full synthetic oils!
Congrats on your Mini buy!
Hopefully it’ll last me a long time. I did my research, and the previous owner kept meticulous records. All of the problem parts like the HPFP, timing chain, etc. have all been replaced by the dealer. My biggest and really, only complaint is that with the stock exhaust, the popping and blurbling is muted and really quiet. I would like to put a Borla cat-back exhaust on it.
