Good job on getting CarPlay set up! That’s strange that the model display changed. I haven’t seen that happen, but maybe a quick coding session with something like BimmerCode or Carly could fix it? I’ve used BimmerCode to adjust a few settings, and it’s pretty user-friendly. If you’re not sure...

it’s actually a good idea to keep your MINI SE’s battery between 20% and 80% for everyday charging. It’s all about the longevity of the lithium-ion battery. These tend to degrade faster when charged to 100% or drained completely to 0% regularly. like your smartphone, constantly charging it to...

It's hard to figure out how to charge the Mini SE! The low, reduced, and normal settings change the flow of power to control how fast and efficiently the charger charges. If you're only getting about 3.8 kW on reduced, it's probably because the charger can't send as much power. Also, you might...

Being careful with the charger port is smart because, yeah, replacing that would be super expensive! What I do is always hold the charger head close to the port while plugging in and out, never yank from the cable itself. Some already had problems because they force the cables. Plus, I keep an...

I think what you’re experiencing might be a result of the base LDW system on the Mini SE, which often only shows visual cues without the audible alerts or steering vibrations. If you’d prefer to disable it, just head over to the Driver Assistance menu on your infotainment screen. Under the...

I’ve been researching the same thing, and I’ve heard great things about scanners like Carly and BimmerLink that are BMW/Mini specific. They give you more than just basic codes, you can actually monitor battery health, charging cycles, and performance. I’m leaning toward getting one myself just...

I had the same issue, and honestly, I couldn’t find anything I liked, so I decided to go the DIY route. 😵 I bought some reflective insulation material from a hardware store and covered it with a dark, matte cloth on the outside. It worked out better than expected, it keeps the car cool...
