What problems does the Mini R57 convertible have?
Years 2014-2023

Answer

The Mini r57 convertible (or cabrio) has the problems of all convertibles, that is, those related to the soft top. This accessory, especially after summer use, must be washed and protected with a suitable product to prevent it from splitting. In addition, the motor must be checked, which being small every year needs the oil changed, and the gears that are very exposed to the elements must be checked.
