2016 Mini Cooper S top engine mount rubber cracked

Have another mechanic look at it.

I’ve got the same motor Mount issue. Same year car, 54000 miles. I’ve got a local mechanic here that is a BMW/Mini specialist. He quoted me just over $800 for that job. BTW, $325 for a battery is crazy!

I have just had the same problem with my 2014 Mini Cooper S which has done less than 30K. Cost me AU$1160 to fix, one year out of warranty. Mine is on the driver's side. They said they have seen a few, always on the driver's side and that the replacement ones have been modified (don't know how)

Same thing here! 2016 mini clubman S. Less than 40,000 miles. Cracked engine mound. $1300 repair cost. In my humble opinion, that should not be happening with a quality car! What would be the recourse?

Who says a Mini is a quality car?

My husband just ran into the exact same problem with his car which is the same model and Year. Clubman s 2016 with just over 41,000 miles. Ridiculous! I wonder how many others are having the exact same issue?

Mine is a 2017 Mini Cooper S. Routine maintenance visit. Dealer service guy said lower engine mount collapsed probably due to wear and tear!! No accidents et al. Barely driven 10,000 miles on it. How the heck does this happen??

mine just had all three replaced at 36K miles go figure fortunately I had extended warranty

Had the same issue with our 2016 Mini Cooper 4 door sport with only 40,000 miles. Mini quoted 1600 to replace and a local shop did it with all Mini parts for $660. The part was $284 and it was a couple hours of labor. Disappointed that such a key mount failed so early on.

Mine too! 2017 Mini Cooper Clubman - seems like this should be a safety recall thing if it is happening this often at 50-60K miles...

Same here - 2016 clubman JWC Sport model - it is 6 years old with 62K miles, but was shocked at the $1400 Cincinnati MINI dealer estimate. Looking for a local shop with BMW experience to fix it.

2014 Cooper S - 47,000 miles. Not driven aggressively. Same thing. Ridiculous.

Happened to me now - at 59k miles - not an agressive driver - charged $1,800 Mini Cooper Countryman - very disappointed in Mini

Just had the top mount replaced on a 2016 1.5 litre Clubman auto with 48,000kms on it. Cost $1,350 at Mini Dealer. Front discs and pads also needed replacing so $2,300 AUD all up. This is getting to be an expensive car. Tires replaced for third time last month. Seems these cars chew through tires, brakes and now engine mounts.

I'm in Seattle. I was hearing more road noise than normal so took my 2015 4-Door Mini with 38K miles in to the dealer to see what's up. You can probably guess. Upper engine mount found ruptured/leaking 1 hr initial diagnostics: $225 Replace upper engine mount: $1700 + Tax Seriously reconsidering whether owning a Mini is worth it.

2018 Mini Cooper well maintained with 50k. I started hearing more road noise so when I went in to change my break pads I asked the dealer to take a look at the car. You can guess: Engine mount cracked and timing belt cover issue

2017 Mini Countryman, 50k miles on it. Lower engine mount replaced 3 yrs ago. Now the upper mount has collapsed and the want $1329 to fix it at the dealer. Does this mean the other two mounts are likely to go at any time? The whole thing seems fragile. Not happy.

2017 Mini Convert S-was needed a new battery and service inspection like they normally do, which I'm fine with. But the last inspection was 2 months ago. Car had been shaking/vibrating some but I knew it was probably that mount thingy. Which I had taken to my normal dealership, they told me it was going to be $2500 to fix the cracked mount thingy, but I could wait. Dropped off to get a new battery (only after 2 yrs-missed the warranty deadline of 2yrs-figures) at another Mini dealership closer to work and they did the normal inspection and said the same as 1st dealership abt same issue (but now hydraulic fluid is leaking a lot), but they quoted me only a $1200. Don't you think I was pissed to find out not all dealerships charge the same-these two are only 30 minutes apart from each other! I'm in South Florida and don't understand how a Mini dealership can gauge prices at one place 30min north of another dealership is absolutely disgusting. It was a $1300-1400 price difference!! The technicians/mechanics all get the same training. So I decided to do it at the "cheaper" dealership of course, got my loaner so I'm not anymore inconvienced (it's free). and I'm picking it up tomorrow. Listen I don't expect to have this car forever, I get that, and I've been waiting for the Countryman EV to finally come over to the US. . And I love my Mini, know they can be pricey to keep up with, it being my 2nd one. But after this I'm seriously considered a different car all together, disappointing.

2016 MIni not aggressively driven - 51,000 miles. $1700 to repair. Ridiculous.
