Why is my Mini Cooper using so much oil ?

Here we talk about the BMW Mini One, Cooper and Cooper S. second generation R56, R57, R58 Mini's and why they use so much oil ( öl if you are in Germany: ). They use the Prince engine which was a joint venture between BMW and Peugeot. We go through the main reason it burns oil through the piston rings and valve stem seals. Finally we talk about the Camshaft cover and how it helps burn even more oil. After watching this video you'll have a good idea of what the problems are and how to fix them to have a nice running N14,N18, N12 or N16 Prince Engine. This engine is also found in some Citreön C and Peugeot 208 models. Once fixed and repaired the engine can run and use no oil and give stress free driving and a wonderful driving experience.
