I have a 2010 mini cooper non s with 41k miles, and I don't feel the same power when I push the gas pedal. I can be at 80 mph and not feel the speed and and power as before. It have new air filter and oil filter changed recently but it feels the same. Last night I race with a mini non s 2010 stock like mine and he left me like 3 cars behind and both cars are automatic Please help.

 

I thought my JCW was sluggish as well. I thought it was carbon buildup as I even felt an issue starting on my very steep driveway--but nope. Simply spark plugs. In for a routine maintenance and they changed spark plugs at 22,000. WOW what a difference it made.

 

new oil filter? do you not replace it every time you do an oil change?


was he in manual mode and you not?


your windows open and his not?


smells a bit off here

 

Yes I replaced when I did the oil change, no he was not in manual mode, windows were not open and the a/c was off in both cars.
