MINI F57 Cooper S Servicing Costs – Open-Top Fun, Backed by Expert Care
The MINI F57 Cooper S Convertible delivers sharp performance from its 2.0-litre turbocharged engine — paired with signature MINI handling and open-air thrills. It uses BMW’s B48 engine, which is punchy and efficient, but known to suffer from camshaft-related faults that can trigger a “Drivetrain” error on the dash.
Every service at The MINI (&BMW) Specialist includes BMW LL-04 100% synthetic 5w30 oil, OE-quality parts, a full inspection, and a service computer reset. We understand the unique needs of convertible MINIs and catch faults early before they get expensive.
Why Trust Us With Your MINI F57 Cooper S?
Camshaft & VANOS Fault Detection
The common “Drivetrain” error often stems from camshaft reluctor misalignment or faulty VANOS solenoids — we check both during every service.
Convertible-Specific Inspections
Roof drainage, rear boot wiring, and roof motor checks included as standard — key areas often overlooked by others.
No-Nonsense Fixed Pricing
Transparent prices including VAT, OE-quality parts, labour, and expert diagnostics — no hidden extras.
Local MINI Experts
Based in Great Bridge, West Midlands — trusted by MINI owners across Birmingham and beyond.
MINI F57 Cooper S FAQs
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What oil do you use in the Cooper S? | We use BMW LL-04 5w30 fully synthetic oil, ideal for protecting the B48 engine and its turbocharger. |
| Why does the “Drivetrain” warning light come on? | It’s often due to camshaft reluctor movement or failing VANOS solenoids. We diagnose and advise on repairs before the issue worsens. |
| Can you reset the service reminder? | Yes — we reset the service computer and update your digital history where supported. |
| Is remapping recommended for this engine? | No — the B48 engine is already highly tuned. Remapping often leads to premature wear or drivetrain errors, so we advise against it. |
| Is the convertible more expensive to maintain? | Servicing costs are similar, but we check roof seals, motor operation and wiring as part of our convertible inspection. |
