Put a refundable deposit on a Mini SE sight unseen based on its build sheet, carfax and battery report... When I got to the dealership I was excited to see my future next car until I looked down and saw these monstrosities. Couldn't pull the trigger! So bummed.
I'm evaluating a Mini SE 2023 with 40,000 km on it for $26k and BMW just sent me a battery health report showing 100%. Is this even possible?
I finally got my EV. And it's a MINI!!
The 2012 Cooper that I have is named Fenimore Cooper.
So this one, being an EV, is named Voltimore Cooper!
I’m looking for an electric mini to go to work 4 days a week. I’m commuting on A roads, B roads and country lanes (about 30/40mins)
I have two kids but they’re not in the car often so not worried about 3 door (this is my last chance to have a car like this before they’re too tall)
I want to take it to the Lakes, peaks, Yorkshire moors etc, and will occasionally do a couple of hours on the motorway. I love driving, listening to music loud, and I will desperately miss the subtlety of a beautiful gear change coming into a corner…
So… my heart tells me electric JCW, my head tells me SE…
I get the ride firmness in these - I really enjoyed test drive in SE, but worried the JCW is actually going to be awful based on reviews!
I’d be getting Level 3 spec either way..
This is a plea for help!
*edit - either way has to be electric
My countryman SE had low tire pressure this morning so I went to inflate them. When I checked the placard on the driver side door it said the fronts were recommended at 36 and the rears at 44. The app tells me it should be 43 all around. What do you use for the source of Truth on tire pressure? Also with the wide variance, the alert on the car seems to go off sooner because the fronts are at such a low pressure. Just curious what the community does
I have a 2025 Countryman SE fyi
Edit: I don't know if I'm blind or this was updated recently but I just noticed the app shows different tire pressures for front and back recommended. They are still off from the card on the driver side door but at least they correlate relatively to the manufacturer specifications.
Close to pulling the trigger on this Mini direct from a dealership here in Canada I love the way it drives and will be perfect for my 100km daily (total) commute.
Is it a good deal? Any words of advice to provide?
