I'm contemplating purchase of a fairly low mileage 2011 JCW, and my BMW mechanic doesn't have a high regard for the Peugeot engines in the 2nd Gen MINI's. I understand the new MINI's have BMW engines.
Even if the JCW I am considering is very clean with 52k miles, should I stay away from it and wait for a 2015 JCW...or, for a good price would it be a good first MINI for me to buy and enjoy for awhile?
I'm sort of on the fence with this decision.
If those on here who have technical knowledge (or personal experience) with the 2nd generation engines advise me to run away, that will weigh heavy on my decision.
Thanks for any input,
John
