Clunking Sound – MINI Cooper & Cooper S

When you start out from the curb and hit about 10-12 mph you may hear a disturbing “clunk” but it's really nothing to be concerned about. In fact, it means your MINI is working just fine, thank you. All MINI Coopers run a self-test of their ABS when getting up to speed. Additionally, you may also hear the central locking system set in, which adds yet another “clunk” at about the same speed. Again, nothing to worry about (but it shows you're paying attention)!
