Welcome to M/A. I know some of the other C-bus owners have gone to North End Wrench and there is another place, but I can't remember the name of it. Hopefully one of them will see this thread and pop in with the name.
Welcome to M/A. My guess is a wheel bearing is going away. I would recommend Best Auto Werks for your non-dealer MINI repair needs. Best Motor Werks | BMW & Mini Cooper Repair in Columbus, Ohio. John Best & his mechanics do good work. Tell John the folks over at Motoring Alliance sent you.
Welcome, thanks for joining Motoring Alliance... If that card was on the window in or around the North Market or Short North...it was most likely me.
Welcome to M/A. 1+ wheel bearing. That would be my guess on the wheel sound. I have a 2005 and replaced all 4 of mine this Summer at 73k.
