    Charging Misery with My ‘22 Cooper SE!

    Welcome to the EV world! I had similar questions when I got my SE. Fast charging shouldn’t stop when you lock the car, so that might be a glitch—maybe try updating the software or ask your dealer. As for the 80% cap, that’s a common setting for EVs to help maintain battery health over time. You...

    Mini SE EV brakes sticking after storage

    that’s actually pretty common, especially after washing and parking for a while. It sounds like a bit of surface rust might have formed on the brake rotors, which can make the pads stick. That big snap you heard was probably them breaking free. I’ve had it happen on mine after just a few days in...

    Heated steering wheel?

    Totally doable, but it might be some effort. 😥 You’ll probably need to swap out your current steering wheel for a heated one. And then get the necessary wiring in place.

    VIP Custom Parts Bike Rack

    I love that you’re going for the custom route with this kit! From what I can tell, it’s made for the F56, which means it should fit the 2023 Mini SE since they share a lot of the same body components, but I’d still recommend triple-checking the bumper design just in case. 😅 As for the PDC...

    Rear Fog Lights DIY

    I haven’t personally done it, but I’ve seen a few people in the forum mention success with Bimmercode for rear fogs. One thing to keep in mind—just double-check that your rear wiring is all set for this. Not all models have the wiring fully prepped, so you might need to do a bit more work than...
