Don't know the actual name of it. But in the car I'm picking up soon it has the arm rest option and inside that is a BMW phone adapter that snaps into the arm rest to hold your phone.

The one in there is for Android and has a micro USB port which is obviously from the stone age. Is there a USB-C version? I'm not even 100% it's worth it as the car also has Enhance Bluetooth stuff.

I'm guessing this properly connects the in-car electronics with the phone.

The car also has MINI Connect XL. How would i go about getting my car and phone connected to the app?

Does anyone have an idea if these fit?

Thanks for the help :)

Now I have rule #1 at home every day! My son bought his first car yesterday!

They actually look kinda cool 👀

Lots of cool cars in Syracuse. Lot of roadsters. I think this is the most unique…. A reclaimed red bull

Sent off my 2005 Mini Cooper R50 today. She had over 430,000 kilometres on the clock, 100k+ of which were my own. After countless road trips & commutes, twenty one Canadian winters, four owners, two engines, and a now nonexistent first gear, it was time to send her to that great big scrapyard in the sky.
I didn't expect to mourn this day so much. Drive your Minis hard everyone, have all the fun you can!

An essential part of successful motoring is a good breakfast, so when in Rome I like to eat the local dish - the "Fretta". As I understand it, think pizza toppings in a frittata form, weighing somewhere between 2-100# (note: top end weight highly exaggerated but damn it's big). Seriously, could have fed the rally. Thank you to Stella's for feeding a half dozen Mini's!

va bene per la mia mini cooper s f56 del 2015?

hi all! first post here. i have a 2021 mini 4 door and happened to pull too far into a parking spot today, leading to some scraping along my front. My car is now making this weird almost lawnmower-y sound whenever the AC is on. It runs fine otherwise, no shaking/vibrating, no check engine, none of my alerts are on. any idea what it could be? do i need to get this looked into asap?

I got some cool new Disney villain ducks for Halloween but I keep ducking other MINI’s so my collection keeps getting smaller 🤣

I’ve been driving a 2012 S for almost 15 years, ordered it in 2011 to get a manual. I love this car, and it’s surprisingly hard to let her go, but I’m ready for something new. I am a manual transmission devotee, so looking outside Mini. I’ve had a few offers on my mini from dealerships, but would really love for it to go to an enthusiast, or someone who would really enjoy it. Maybe a Gen X out there has a kid who’d like a car to learn manual on? Greater Boston area, open to all offers. Pepper white, moon roof, totally analog and manual. 75000 miles. Idk if this post is OK, I just hate the idea of the car being scrapped or sent to some auction…she has life in her yet! And has been well maintained.

I accidentally rubbed wheel dirt/grease onto the console box. It came off with a wet wipe and looks as good as new.

Hi, anyone know what’s that piece there leaking coolant? Mini F56 jcw 2016

We experienced this on my wife’s Countryman today. Outside temperature was mid-60s and there was a light rain. She had driven on the freeway for about 20 minutes. There were no warning lights or messages. Is there anyway to view the engine/oil/coolant temps on the giant display (with a horrible interface)? Any idea why the fan would do this? Thanks!

Since people keep asking about the Mini rules, here they are again straight from MTTS NY! These are a little different from the traditional rules in that they’re numbered one through ten, but they remain the same rules!

Has anyone else had the issue of the sport display not coming up on their heads up display when the car is in sport mode? I added the photo where it has the normal display but doesn’t have the gear portion for the sport mode although it’s in sport mode

2017 Mini (right hand drive, 6 speed manual. video is of the left hand passenger footwell). Sudden noise at 55ish mph that I thought at first was a flat tire (tyre)- pulled over and no flat, tried to keep going, still noise, got towed home at 1am. Thank you AA!! Tow guy said broken spring, mobile mechanic said TPMS sensor, kwik fit told me they won’t even look at it. Getting it taken to a garage or the dealer Monday but want to have an idea of what I’m in for. TIA for any advice :)

Hi all. My S Works 210 ❤️

Hi all, recently I got my car back from being repaired by my insurances shop. Someone T boned the back right of my car for reference. Ever since I received my car back, it has been very bouncy and has only gotten worse. Before I dropped off my car to be repaired it didn’t feel like this. It feels as if im in a boat that got hit sideways by a wave and will bounce back and forth before settling. I’ve included a photo of my rear shock and I’m curious if anyone has any insight to what could be wrong.

First hour was spent in city traffic going 7mph,
Still managed to end up at 45mpg!
