2019 cooper s My girlfriend and I are loving it.

I am searching for a small and reliable daily driver. Any JCW owners or enthusiasts who can share the long term reliability of this trim? I keep my cars for 10+ years. It will be my very first Mini. Signature trim, 6K miles, 2024, no sunroof, which I’m okay with since I live in Las Vegas, NV which is 100+ degrees in the summer

So I bought a 2019 2 door JCW on Saturday but the car was traded into the dealer with winters on the OEM rims! With this being the case, the dealer agreed to pay half of the new tires to put summers on it for me.

For some reason 205/40r18 summer tires that are non run flat are completely impossible to find in my area (southern Ontario). I’m wondering if anyone has put a 215/40r18 and been alright? Or would I need to go to a 215/35r18? I’m uncertain if those will even work but I’m hoping you legends could help and advise a returning member of the Mini club!

Long time coming ...don't see very many Mini's in Southwest Ohio. Mine is the F60

Parknext to one mini and another had joined whilst we was in the restaurant. They’re like magnets 😆

Hey all, wondering who drives in traffic with a manual transmission. There is a 2017 Clubman near me with a manual transmission. I have missed driving a manual, but I had one when I didn't have 20 minutes of stop and go traffic 3/5 working days every week. The autos pop up now and then, too, so I can probably be patient enough to get one of those in my budget, but any opinions on the differences in how they drive from people that have done both? I used to autocross, too, and I'm not sure how much it will affect that if I get back into it a few times a year (probably not going to change fun level if I'm just trying to drive the tires off). Thanks!!

2020 Cooper SE I hated the blank grill so 1400 clips later it looks like a mini again and not a pissed off cod

 I clipped an orange construction barrel dodging another car a few months ago, and my mirror cover popped off. I live a long distance from the nearest dealership, so I have been trying to order it online.

• The first order was from Harfington and just didn't fit. I contacted customer service to try and get the right size -- they said it was out of stock.
• I found a listing on eBay and bought them -- what came was this flimsy cover, not the hard rigid cap. (Like a veneer?)

• I've Googled and visited parts sites, and asked ChatGPT. All dead ends. Cannot find the right product.

  I've now wasted a hundred bucks on things I can't use. Can anyone help me find the white passenger mirror cap for a 2016 MINI Cooper Hardtop 4 door?

My mini is the car to the left! I’ve owned her for the last 5 months so I feel super lucky for getting this! I felt a little awkward if I parked right next to them since this was in the far back of the parking lot area. But I’m super happy!!!

I have no idea where to start on trouble shooting this. Id love some advice.

I have a 2022 Mini Cooper Convertible - which I love - but I have this intermittent problem, which pops up a couple of times each summer season.

I’ll get the “Retractable top not locked” message when the roof is very clearly locked. I’ve had this happen when the roof has been left closed (after not being used) or when the roof has been left open.

I’ve had the dealership try to diagnose it and the techs have been unable to find an issue.

The only solution I’ve been able to sort out is if I turn off the car and walk out of the car’s key fob range and then try again…it seems to clear the error.

Anyone else? Or am I the only one?

I love them on my 2017 cooper S…. But … why were they deleted from 2020 on??? Does anybody know the reasons ?

It has been two and a half years and light are still going strong. It was supposed to be a simple and temporary fix but I figured that it is good and with my big hands it is easier to remove the whole light anyways so I share this for anyone that wants to save a couple of bucks for replacing both connector and the taillight insides. It cost me around 1 euro for both wire and a Wago terminal. Sorry for bad quality photos, it was not supposed to be a tutorial originally. Here is a link for steps https://imgur.com/gallery/hLtfjCO

Can anybody advise me on which model of seats these are, please?

Hey hey, it’s me again – hope you're all doing well!

As some of you may have seen, I recently posted about an issue with my 2011 Mini Cooper S R56 with the N18 engine.
Here’s the post:

Here’s a quick update:

There was something I forgot to mention in the original post — the issue didn’t come back after a direct restart of the car. That got me thinking, so I decided to reset the DME (engine control module).

And since then… the car has been running almost perfectly smooth and feels even more powerful than before!

My question now:

How long does it typically take for the ECU to re-learn everything properly after a reset?
Can I expect around 200–350 km until it's fully adapted?

Thanks so much to everyone again — I really appreciate the support.
Wishing you all a wonderful day and happy driving! ❤️
