new mini Questions???
seems like all you guys here drive older Bmc Minis? i am a Mini technician
(new BMW minis) in NY and i just wanted to let people know that i can answer
alot of questions on these cars. i just joined the site and already have
asked two questions, one about a ford taurus and one about my jeep, so i
figured i should give a little back by answering some other peoples questions.

OK.....why is it that the newer mini's seem to have rougher starts, this
time of year? They start great all summer long, when the weather
changes, they usually need 2 tries to start up.

what year is your car?
we've had big problems with this, and its just due to software. there are
improvements in the new programming software for the Dme and as long as you
still have a warranty, just bring it to the dealer and they will reprogram it.
all the dealers know about this, so just tell your service advisor you have
hard starting in cold weather and they will know just what to do.
