Edge Posted December 7, 2017 Report Posted December 7, 2017 Sounds like the burble/pop - programmed in on purpose by MINI - for off-gas deceleration. It's a trademark sound that many love, but apparently enough people complained about it from the 1st Gens that they removed it from earlier 2nd Gens... until I guess enough people complained about it being gone, and they added it back in again in on 2nd Gens a few years later.

Maybe not have the burble/pop in the justa as it appeals for the person looking for a commuter car, and do have it in the "S". Also you could have it only activate when in sport mode. 1975 Mini 1000, 998cc A+ w/ K&N air filter, 10" Mamba wheels

That has actually been my experience in the 3rd Gen. Mine will burble when in Sport but I don't experience it otherwise. And I LOVE it.
