Welcome to the channel! If this is your first time catching a video, I release a new engine teardown every single Saturday night as I have for nearly 3 and a half years. I have HUNDREDS of tear down videos done! Here are a few of my favorites:
Nissan VC-Turbo 3 Cylinder    • Nissan VC-TURBO BAD ALREADY? 2021 Rog...  
Bentley/Rolls 6 3/4 V8    • BROKEN BENTLEY / ROLLS ROYCE 6 ¾ L-Se...  
Jaguar/Ford/Land Rover 3.0 Diesel    • BAD 2017 Range Rover Sport 3.0 V6 Die...  
Toyota Prius Catastrophic Blowout!    • BLEW UP A PRIUS?! 2010+ Toyota Prius ...  

Today we tear down a BMW/Mini Cooper N14 1.6L Turbo Engine. This engine is a redesigned PSA Prince engine and has a long history of being a finicky, maintenance mongering, and unreliable engine thats hard on the wallet. This engine is from a 2008 Mini Cooper S with 107K Miles, Pretty young in general for engines to fail BUT pretty high for one of these. This engine was supposed to have run, but made bad noises and ran very rough. These are some of my least favorite "BMW" engines and this one had several questionable points of concern ultimately leading to this engines demise.

Why am I doing this? My name is Eric and I own and run a full service auto salvage business called Importapart. Part of our model includes dismantling Bad, blown and core engines to salvage and resell the good parts. We do not rebuild or repair engines, merely supply parts to those who do.
I really hope you enjoyed this teardown as always I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism. Catch you on the next one!
