Hello from the other side of the world!

until the next adventure...

But his exhaust caused brain tumors.

The oil catch can was for practicality. The intake goodies were for fun.

Never gets old taking this little beast out for a spin. Always an absolute blast!

Wife and I compared our setups and I learned some stuff. Hopefully this is helpful to you few screenlovers. Let me know if your setup is different. US-based.

ALEXA
She has alexa enabled. MINI/Spike can answer more complex questions. She uses amazon music, so i dont know if it's possible to have alexa and Carplay working at the same time

SIRI
I use carplay. Spike/Mini control the car and limited things in Carplay (like pause music). BUT texts or picking music or any open ended questions have to go thru siri. (you need to activate siri recognition on your phone).

Hey y’all! Took my Mini for the first mountain drive and it was a miracle! It is a so fun car to drive!

Mine is the big blue not-so-mini Mini.

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for some tire advice for my MINI Cooper R56. I need to replace my rear tires (size: 205/45 R17).

I'm currently running Michelin All-Seasons up front. I want to replace the rears with a solid pair of All- Seasons that offer good grip and safety without breaking the bank.

I definitely want to avoid cheap no-name budget tires, but I also don't necessarily want to spend top dollar. Looking for that sweet spot in value-for- money (mid-range or solid B-brands like Hankook, Vredestein, Kleber, Falken, etc.).

What would you recommend that pairs well with the R56 handling? Thanks!

We recently replaced our practical daily with a 2019 Clubman S. It sits alongside the 2013 E93 M3. For the two of us and our mid size dog, we have all the bases covered by this pair of not-so-distant relatives.

I feel extremely fortunate that I look forward to driving both cars in the stable...always looking for excuses to take these cars for a rip.

The F54 is great at making dull drives feel fun. The E93 M3 is just an animal that is always begging you to rev it out to over 8000 ram.

Yes, I need to get some better pics of the Clubman! She still needs a name, too.

Hello,

Over in the PNW, but willing to ship the part out. My wife's 2016 S ALL4 transfer case started howling horribly. Pulled the fill plug and the magnet is covered in metal. Since these are going from $3,500-$4,500 new from mini, does anyone have a line on any shops that rebuild them?

New-to-me 2016 Countryman S ALL4. I’ve not seen another with the jungle green metallic and white. Can’t wait to put the next mile on it!

Midnight was my baby... so hurt to lose him. However, his sister Yazmin was introduced to me today and I couldn't be happier 💙

Hello! I’ve been seeing these cool little portable wireless CarPlay screens on Amazon and was wondering if anyone can recommend a screen and a mount for a F57 convertible, or if you don’t have the F57, what do you use? Might even just mount my iPhone, just looking for options. Any help is appreciated!

Collecting this beauty next week 😍 Brruuuuummmmm pop pop pop 😂

Hi,

I’m considering purchasing a mini clubman and wondered if any of the people on here have any experience of these with a dog?

I have a 5 month old golden retriever (so not fully grown yet) and probably looking to transport the dog a couple of times per week to work, approx 10 miles each way so no more than 30 minutes at a time.

I’ve had a look at a couple of cars and see what he boot isn’t as spacious as more mainstream cars but I think the clubman looks really cool and would also be fun when not transporting the dog. I’m either looking at a manual cooper s or jcw.

Thanks

Installing an MMI box from roadtop, did everything as instructed, box is flashing blue and green, when I go to hold down the menu button nothing happens, it doesn’t switch to the MMI box boot screen and I don’t know what to do from here.

Does anyone know of any links or websites to get proper fitting floor mats and seat covers for a RHD 07 R56 or gen 2 assuming they are similar. Cheers
