    Charging Misery with My ‘22 Cooper SE!

    Welcome to the electric side! The quirks can be a bit confusing at first, but we’ve all been there! With fast charging, it’s actually supposed to continue even if you lock it, so if it stops charging when you lock the car, it’s either a glitch or maybe an issue with that specific charger. Try a...

    Mini SE EV brakes sticking after storage

    Oh man, I had the same thing happen to me! Washed mine, left it in the garage for like two weeks, and when I went to drive, it felt like the brakes were glued in place. I had to press the accelerator a bit harder than usual, and there was a loud pop, just like you said. Took it for a drive, and...

    Best OBD Scanner for Mini SE: How to Check Battery Health and Performance?

    I’ve been using the BimmerCode app with a simple OBD2 adapter, like Veepeak, and it’s been great for monitoring my Mini SE’s performance without breaking the bank. It’s not as high-end as some scanners like Carly, but it does the job. Its not glamorous. You can check battery health and even...

    Non-Reflective Sun Shade

    I had the same issue with my sunshade, and it was blinding my neighbors every morning. Got a bit of scolding from their elders a few weeks ago. 😅 I ended up going with a non-reflective fabric one from WeatherTech, and it’s been relatively good since. Not only does it keep the car cool during...

    Rear Fog Lights DIY

    uhhhh I’m also thinking of activating the rear fog lights on my SE, so I’m curious to see how yours goes! From what I’ve gathered, Bimmercode should make it pretty easy, but like others have said, just be sure the wiring’s all set before diving in. Have you already checked if the light housing...
