MINI F55 Cooper S Servicing Costs – Turbocharged Performance With Known Pitfalls
The MINI F55 Cooper S is the pick of the petrol lineup for performance enthusiasts — using the 2.0-litre B48 4-cylinder engine. Quick, agile, and engaging, but not without its share of issues. Common faults include VANOS valve failure, camshaft reluctor faults that trigger “Drivetrain Error” messages, and thermostat leaks — all of which we’re experienced in diagnosing and fixing.
At The MINI (&BMW) Specialist in Great Bridge, we offer fixed-price servicing that includes BMW LL-04 100% synthetic 5W30 oil, OE-quality filters, labour, VAT, and a complete inspection by MINI technicians.

MINI F55 Cooper S FAQs
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What engine is in the F55 Cooper S? | It uses the 2.0-litre B48 turbocharged engine — shared with several BMW models. It offers strong performance but demands careful maintenance. |
| What are the most common issues? | Camshaft timing errors due to reluctor movement, VANOS solenoid failure, oil consumption, and occasional coolant loss from the thermostat housing. |
| Is remapping safe? | We strongly advise against it. The B48 engine is already tuned close to its limit — remapping can reduce lifespan and worsen emissions. |
| How often should it be serviced? | Annually or every 10,000–12,000 miles. Turbo engines benefit from frequent oil changes with the correct spec — we use BMW LL-04 5W30. |
| Can you update the digital service record? | Yes — we reset the onboard service indicator and update the iDrive record where supported. |
