Mini Roadster Engine Light and Exhaust Smell

I also have a Mini Roadster and had a similar issue with the engine light and exhaust smell. Have you checked the lambda sensors? A defective sensor can cause the engine to run rough and trigger the engine light.

Thanks for the suggestion. Where exactly are the lambda sensors located, and is it something I could potentially check myself, or is it better left to a professional? Also, was the exhaust smell very strong in your case?

Yes, the exhaust smell was very strong. The lambda sensors are located in the exhaust pipe, before and after the catalytic converter. While you can check the wiring, diagnosing it properly usually requires special tools. I'd suggest taking it to a workshop to get it checked out. It could also be related to the particulate filter.

I took the Mini Roadster to the workshop, and after inspection, it was indeed the lambda sensor. They replaced it and the exhaust pipe and also checked the particulate filter and catalytic converter. Total cost was 375€. Thanks for the help!
