All R56 owners can avoid this problem by upgrading to an R53. :wink:
Sorry it just had to be said, but I really wish all the R56 owners all well and hope no one gets hurt and all the cars are fixed. -
Don't go rushing off to you dealer to get this done.

Not only that but they'll need to lay in a healthy supply of the new parts too......that's what usually slows these programs down.
Imagine - you're the small water pump mfr with the contract, you have a production line set up geared towards their daily usage (keizen, remember?) and now all of a sudden they inform you that they need an extra 100,000 or so of these, ASAP! And of course, they still need the ones you've been building for the assembly line too..... -

I also have an 2006 Cooper S R53 and there aren't any recalls or defect investigations. Only items I found were complaints and 36 TSBs of which some apply to early 2007 R56s. -

What's this come to?????
Any estimates.... Anyone????
So the list price for this pump is about $150.00, lets say cost is about $50.00
Labor @ 100.00/hr, lets say cost is $30.00/hr times what, 4 hours. Total @ $170.00 per MINI times 88,911 x 90% (wrecks you know) so 80,000 MINI's = $13,600,000.00.... Hmmmmm -

$13,600,000.00 is just the US..... add Canada to the pile..... Wonder what BMW-MINI is thinking about doing for U-rope and the rest of the world????
235,535 vehicles worldwide x $170.00 = $40,000,000.00....... YOWSER:crazy: -
