I have a loud rattling noise from the clutch area when I start the car. As soon as I push in the clutch pedal or once the car is warmed up it goes away. I’ve herd of a dual fly wheel problem with 2006 mini’s is this the infamous problem ? I only have 12000 miles on board
Can anyone help me out

 

Yep. There's a service bulletin out for that. I had mine replaced under warranty at 24,000 miles about 6 months ago for free. Time for a trip to the dealer! You'll probably get an R56 MCS like I did for a loaner that makes you miss your R53.

 

thanks, I'll research the service bulletin.... sucks because the dealer is over 200 miles away

 

Definitely do it, I got my clutch/flywheel replaced last week, feels like a new car, clutch is much softer though.

 

cant find the service bull...so i might be screwed

 

Why? What have you done with regards to fixing the problem? Internal service bulletins are not something one would easily find online. Just because you cannot find a confidential document from BMW online does not mean you are screwed. Have you even talked to the service department yet?

 

I am having the same problem with mine. I just called the dealer to try and schedule an appointment for repair/replacement and they're telling me it's a wear issue and is not covered... I'm going to try calling back later and referencing the service bulletin, hopefully that works...
