I have a 2012 Mini Cooper Countryman S. It's at 33,700 and my warranty ends at 36,000. A few times a month, when I hard accelerate, there is a sputter from the engine, it's like a catch for a second. At one point I was next to a concrete wall and heard almost a metallic popping sound.
I drive in rush hour traffic, 6 miles one way and 6 miles back, which I have to imagine is not the best for a little engine that just wants to GO!
I wonder if anyone else has had this problem, or if you think that it is an effect of driving it the way that I do.
Thank you

 

I had it happen the other day at 62 mph, I had just reinstalled the JB+ so I wrote it off as being related to that. It didn't happen again in the next 120 miles. My warranty is up April fools day, scary day for sure, might have to stay home.

 

There are numerous threads here discussing this same problem.

 

Hi Mikey T, from the other threads, what is the general consensus?

 

I dont think you need me to read and interpret for you. Have a look thru these recent threads;
