Ryan, My friend has a Mini Cooper S that makes the same sound. When I asked about it, he said BMW intentionally made the Mini do that because it was a characteristic sound of the original Mini racing cars. Since then, I've noticed it many times on different Mini's. So, to each his own. Tell your friends there's nothing wrong with your car and BMW actually builds this sound into some of their cars. -Brian VIN# 4494 --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Ryan Wright <ryanpwright@...> wrote: > > Folks, > > Joe Kuchan and I have been exchanging messages on this subject off > list.
