HELP ! 2017 Mini CountryMan 3 cyl. 1.5 turbo problems
Hi! Im in need of help, purchased a new 2017 Mini Cooper countryman and it has been in the shop 8 times for a check engine light. The error code is always a rich fuel mixture code. Dealership that I bought the car from has updated software from bmw , changed the high pressure fuel pump , and fuel injectors . And BMW is now replacing the high pressure fuel pump and fuel injectors again . BMW is saying it’s because of the high altitude . I live in northern Colorado .
Has as anyone else had these issues with this car and engine ??
Do do I have a Lemon ? Are they giving me the run around?
Reaching out for advice , info .
Thanks from you help

Have you filed a claim with Mini USA? You for sure want to do that ASAP.
Here is the CO lemon law - https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/sit...%20Dealers.pdf
I'm pretty sure you are within that... If me I'd begin the process with Mini USA to lemon the car - have them buy it back from you and start with a new one agaon... I wouldn't care what the cause is - I'm sure you don't want to be dealing with that for the life of the ownership. I'm also willing to bet that it's not a common issue.

I have had the CEL come on about 8-10 times in a similar fashion on my 2017 All4. It only happens in winter when it is relatively cold (under 20F). I was told it was a known issue, but only happened in a few areas that had a combination of cold weather with higher humidity. The altitude in Western New York is only about 800 ft above sea level so I didn't think that was an issue. Every time I take it in, they update the computer and do an oil change. On the positive side, my car has has a lot of oil changes The last time it happened was in February and the computer was updated again then. When the CEL comes on, it lasts for a couple days then then turns off. They have never suggested replacing any parts for this issue.
A friend of mine has the same issue with his 2017 All4.

My F60 has the 4-cylinder, but my 2019 F57 has the 3-cylinder and I’ve had zero issues in Pennsylvania. It’s not had any problems whatsoever in the 4.5 years I’ve owned it 🤞🏼
