One problem related to battery cable has been reported for the 2011 Mini Cooper S. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
On 05/06/2021, I purchased a used 2011 Mini Cooper S turbo. Two days later, I went to start the car, and immediately smelled something electrical burning. When I lifted up hood, I could see smoke coming from inside the engine. I immediately unhooked the two battery cables. I called the car lot that I purchased the vehicle, and was told that that year Mini had issues with a computer board overheating pand sometimes even starting fires even when the car isn't running. I have a mehanic scheduled for Monday to repair the car.
