Why I went Acura - BMW Mini-Cooper dies during review

I wish I knew how to post the video. It's on C-Net right now. Hilarious. The guy looks dumbfounded. He mentions that the Mini is rated as one of the lowest in reliability. They cut to the report and clearly listed right above the Mini at the bottom of the report is BMW. Ugly as a pimply butt it may be (according to some) but I love my TL. Drove it off the lot 6 months ago and haven't had to go back yet. That's a luxury value add to me.

^^^^^ Yes, there it is. Thanks. But do scroll down the page to find video as you'll be greeted by a picture of a Fiesta. I love the part where they show 2 guys pushing it into a garage.

It does suck for Mini and doesn't help the BMW brand much either imo.

Ha, too funny! Though not quite as bad as a video review I saw pitting the BMW 335i vs G37. The 335i went into limp mode midway and couldn't finish the track.
