Automatic Transmission problems of the 2004 Mini Cooper

Automatic transmission in 2004 Mini Cooper failure at 98k miles. Cost to rebuild quoted at $5k-$8k.

Have a 2004 Mini Cooper with 65,000 miles total and only 6200 miles in last 20 months and car serviced regularly. Automatic transmission has now started to not shift properly and Mini service reprogrammed transmission but problems have recurred and again Mini wants to reprogram transmission. If this does not work, transmission will have to be replaced at cost of $6500. 00. There is no repair or rebuilding of this transmission. There are hundreds of reported problems with this transmission but BMW has not acknowledged any problem.

Our 2004 Mini Cooper (cvt) automatic transmission needs to be replaced. The car has only 74,000 mile on it.

Purchased a 2004 Mini Cooper a year ago, with a mileage of 17,000 miles. After driving about 4,000 miles, the car broke down and was sent to local Mini dealer to get it fixed. Continuous variable transmission was diagnosed wrecked, and dealer offered a replacement (only solution) with a re-furbished cvt transmission for $9800. After negotiation, I had Mini cover the parts and I paid labor. But I have seen on so many forums that all cvt transmissions are failing so I wonder why there have been no recalls. My cvt failed when the car had 21,000 miles!.

Transmission gave way.

I was driving normal. I was making a left turn on my 2004 Mini Cooper (automatic transmission) the car move a little and all of a sudden the car stalled. The car behind me was honking and I quickly shift to n and tried starting and the car started. My car has only 1650 miles. I called Mini the next day and customer service rep told me that there is no recalls or issues known to Mini at this time.
