1 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 01/23/2015

I purchased a used 2006 Mini Cooper S Convertible from a dealer and after signing the papers and getting the keys I turned the car on and all the warning lights came on. The dealer took it back to the shop and did a diagnostic test revealing nothing was wrong, reset the vehicle and handed me the keys. The problem continues intermittently still.

2 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 11/05/2014

My 2006 Mini cooper convertible has intermittent experienced with passenger air bag warning light staying on even when passenger is in seat and properly buckled in. This should be a recall by BMW. Also, harmonic balancer broke at just under 60,000. . . And have heard this is a major problem on many Mini coopers. BMW should be responsible for replacement. Faulty equipment. Also, convertible gasket needs replacing. Inferior material used by BMW. Very expensive to replace.
