Dealer has never HEARD of the death rattle issue
What a joke. Says this is the first time he is heard of it, estimated 2K to fix on a 40K - 2010 R57.

update: Mini is covering the repair!

Think he was trying to be "coy" and down play the issue...
Looks like it only got an informed customer mad....

Good news, thanks for the update. Maybe that have not heard that term ? People on NAM call it the death rattle on here , they might call it the timing chain rattle or timing chain extra slack. Like a technical term.

Is this a MINI dealer?


Also, glad to hear that MINI is going to cover the repair cost.
