I was parked one after noon looking under the hood and I heard a crackling sound coming form the abs pump. There was a small puff of smoke and then the sound stopped. At this point I went about my business and returned to my 2004 Mini Cooper S and the abs/traction control light were out. A few days later I took the vehicle to the BMW dealer and after a few tests they determined it was just bad fuses. A week has past and I have had no other problems.

Our Mini burned to the ground. It had only been driven 20 miles and was parked when it happened. After a forensic specialist was hired by the insurance company, it was determined that the abs unit was at fault. In later models, the fuse was changed from a 30 amp to a 20 amp. No recall was ever issued and BMW/Mini never acknowledged a problem with the car. Since this happened, at least 10-15 other Minis have burned. Our Mini was a total loss.
