i drove my 600 mileage mini today in knauz for a service. ok. the trim behind the front tire like a tireflap is it supposed to dangle or supposed to be intact? coz they did not do nothing with it. and before i left i pointed it to him to compare the left side to the right side coz the one under the left side is not intact like on the other side. he said thats how it is. WTF. anyway, driving my mini on this slushy day made me realize... mini is not smooth. i mean i swear i think i damage my car under. i cringe with every snow i tread. it feels like i scratched my mini under all over. also mini is slipping on snow when i drive it after every stop. WTF. i hope u understand this thread. im hungry and tired. i need to know.

 

Do you have DSC? And if so, was it on? Ive never had an issue in snow with DSC.

 

Those flaps look the same under my MCS. I checked them out last night and the edge in the center of the car is slightly lower than the outside. They look like wind baffles or something.

Seem normal to me unless you scraped the underside going over a speed bump. I bottomed my BMW out a few times with stock ride height on those.

 

yes! the edge in the center of the car is slightly lower than the outside!! exactly!! thank u. coz i noticed it after i washed my car in touchless bay. i thought the pressured wash under my mini damaged it. im driving a base cooper. no dsc. i think i was pressing on the gas too hard after every stop thats why its slipping? coz i noticed if i let go of the brake 1st and let it move slightly forward then press on the gas it's ok. but on clear day after every stop and i floor the gas right away i have no prob. i honestly i just did not like the way my mini performed in the slush. hmmmmmm. do u think its just the way i drive thats the prob? or what do u think?
