    I have the autel ap200 Bluetooth scanner with the ability to purchase mini software but I have a feeling it won't be able to tell me what I'm looking for

    Should be the same. Check it out using our illustrated parts list --- https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/select --- use the last seven characters of your VIN to get the most accurate info. Select engine electrical then the spark plug to see which model years use it. My '07 MCS uses 12120035531. If yours uses the same then you can use the NGK1422 as a 1-range colder plug.

    Can't help you there --- doubt if you'll ever use it if you have all the Manic maps.

    I've put a tuner in my bike and you tune it to the performance parts you have done to the bike, is manic the same idea or is it just a standard increase power thing?

    Ya I was a mechanic for 10 years and know what it's like when people come in asking how to fix this or what's wrong with that, everyone has to make a living and I have no problem with that, just the feeling I got from all 3 shops I talked to today is that the can fix a stock mini and won't be able to help me with except for the walnut blasting from one of them. What link is that?

    Hey everyone, little update on my mini. Been driving around the past couple days and noticed it's not going over 60°C while driving. Only when I let it idle for a bit did it get warmer, and then the exhaust started popping like crazy, usually it's just a small pop as I'm going up through the gears but this time it was serval going up and coming down. Any thoughts?

    Possible but I don't think so, after it idles for a while I do hear the fan come on and shut off. I would of heard the fan running the whole time if that was the case

    Do you happen to know which spark plug I should be using? Guys are saying it should be a colder plug. And which antifreeze, there's a European shop in town that uses a blue antifreeze for BMW's

    Blue? There's yellow in it now, I'd assume G-05
