I've been driving my Mini Cooper SE for about a month now and while I absolutely love the car I’ve got a few random observations and questions:
Windscreen visibility – Is it just me, or does the rearview mirror block a lot of the view? Took me a while to get used to it though.
Sun visors – Are they just… there for decoration? 
They don’t seem all that useful.
Waterfall lights – What do they actually do? I haven’t seen them serve any real purpose yet.
Reversing mirror position – My nearside wing mirror tilts way down to the ground when reversing, which isn’t always helpful. Can this be adjusted?
Customizing the center display – Am I stuck with orange themes for media, maps, etc., or is there a way to tweak the look?
Lock/unlock beep – Can I enable this myself, or does it require a trip to the dealership?
Also, one small frustration the wireless charger doesn’t fit my Samsung S23+ Ultra properly. Either the width or length is just off. Has anyone else found a good workaround for this?
Overall though I’m really enjoying the SE! The handling is sharp, and the instant EV torque suits my driving style perfectly. It actually reminds me a lot of my old Mk1 Audi TT.
