Edge Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
