Leaky Boot
I hope this is the right place to put this. I recently discovered water in the boot, collecting in the well for the toolkit. After some research, it appeared to be an issue some others had too. I took my car to Mini of Mt Laurel, and they took great care of me . I have 44,000 miles on my 2015 F56, but they repaired under warranty. SI M51 05 16, insufficient sealing of rear hatch. The description says that they resealed body seams and replaced the rear hatch seal. It had to sit overnight for the polyurethane to dry. Now to wait for the next heavy rain,,,,

SI M64 01 17 FOUL, MUSTY ODOR FROM HVAC: WET FOOTWELL CARPET
This is a must have for anyone if you are using AC. Update to the car's firmware is involved. My car is 2015 Hardtop F56, picked up November 2014, so it was right at the end of the warranty period.
The most significant benefit from this update is that the car runs the fan for about 2 minutes after the car has been shut down if you were using AC.
I only noticed this behavior when I had a 2018 F54 loaner and saw that they are addressing the AC smell issue with this. Just before my 4 year warranty ends, I got my car in and talked for a while with the foreman about the AC stink (it was really stinking even though I try really hard to keep it dry), all the rattles that I pointed out, and to fix a thread they stripped on the under body panel during the free 3 year service. I got very good service, they sealed up most of the rattle noise, upgraded the firmware so my car also does the extra venting after AC has been running.

I made my annual service appointment and I was asked if I also wanted Mini to perform the same safety recall M120617. I didn't get any notice in the mail, though. I have a 2015 F56 Mini Cooper S. If you've had yours done, could you let me know what it entails? My appointment is on 5/14/19. Thanks

Just called my local Mini dealer. it is no wonder no one wants to own a Mini. They NEVER want to do warranty work.
The wet carpet issue is something they deny exists. I quoted the number M64 01 17 and the girl just ducked and ran. She said there is no such campaign. If they do not fix this I will dump this unit and be done with Mini forever.

I found this website is a good source for Technical Service Bulletins. You can even download a copy of the bulletin:
