During a service call on our 2006 Mini cooper, we were informed that both front strut mounts were bent and damaged. These are not covered under the warranty and in one case has already been replaced once at 20000+ miles after hitting a bad pothole. The car now has 34000 miles and had to have both mounts replaced. Apparently there is a design defect that Mini/BMW is not willing to correct although there are aftermarket reinforcements available. A further search of the internet reveals that a lot of Mini & BMW owners are having this issue, in particular those with run-flat tires installed.
