Hello all I recently bought an 02 mini cooper r50 cvt. I absolutely love the car when it runs right so I'm obviously unhappy most of the time. Hoping for find some guidance.

 

Welcome to the forum. Most of us have found that our MINIs come with preexisting conditions that need to be addressed before they are at the level we want them. Hopefully this is the case for you.

Any pictures to share?

 

Welcome, the R50 is a good MINI, but the CVT transmission can be a pain. Most people when they go will swap them for a 5 speed getrag transmission. We are here to help.
