I've owned a mini for 10yrs and didn't know if I hold the unlock key button down it will open all the windows!!

[Dazlidorne]

5:29 I don't know if you have noticed, but the turn signals on the rear tail lights have a MINI Cooper logo on them as well.

[giuseppebonelli]

I didn't know half of them. Thanks bro!

[precool]

Thanks for the great video. I've got an '07 MCS and I never knew about the semi-turn signal. It can be a little sticky and sensitive, so this helps a lot. I just subscribed! Thanks again.

[mariodicarlo]

You can change the turn signal so it blinks 3 times instead of once. There are a lot of other neat adjustments you can make in settings ... unlock both doors or just one when you hit the button, how long the lights stay on when you shut off the car, how loud the dings are, adjust the rain sensor...

[shessojazzy]

Thanks for this video; it was a lot of good information. I have a 2014 R59 (Roadster)….I LOVE my mini🥰 it’s so fun to drop the top and hit the road. I i’m not sure if this applies to all models, but with mine…I can remove the metal key from the fob, to lock/unlock the glove compartment.

[pj]

Thanks for the tips! I thought I was going to have to read my owner's manual to learn how my car works. Now I can just throw the manual in the trash and never worry about having to read again!

Nice vid! I have a 2009, which might be different, but your key fob looks like it is missing the aluminum (chrome) trim ring! These can be ordered online. I had to glue mine on.
The seat should have a lumbar support knob on the driver's seat near the armrest. The seat also remembers its forward position when you slide it to access the rear seats.
The center armrest tilts up and out of the way. Puddle lights on the doors help you see your footing and can be swapped out to project a mini logo and other graphics.
And finally there are videos on the comfort hack which lowers the window with the door opening which helps the driver enter in tight carparks. Happy Motoring!

Loved this video. I have the exact mini 2012 velvet silver without the moon roof. It’s now 13 years old and I’m still learning new stuff thanks to you. I call him Gary Cooper!

[SapphireBlackNZ]

Great video. All these awesome features are thanks to BMW. Most are standard on BMW’s. Also worth noting the there is a cigarette plug in charger located in the trunk (good if you’re camping). Not only does the seats move up and down but so does the steering wheel. Also comes with umbrella clips in the trunk.

[Raccnnibal]

Great vid! Super helpful because I got the same car. I wanted to know more about it because the seller told me of the secret compartment he found a few days before I went and I accidentally found the colored lights changer trying to go back on the light intensity.

[ARISTOILET]

You can use the valet key to close the windows. Turn clockwise and hold until they both go up. I've owned mine for over 17 years.

[pilotsparki]

the secret second glove compartment, above the main one, press the dash (usually glossy part) and it will raise up and reveal a small compartment.

[schakoska]

3:33 Auto leveling headlights are required in Europe for every Xenon headlights and Mini just didn't remove them in the american model

[notyourcupof_tay]

I have an F56, and remember the day I discovered the secret dash compartment - mind blown 😂 it’s the little things in life lol

[emmalovelock]

If you hold the ambient light toggle for 5-10 seconds until they flash & boom, you have rainbow lights 🌈🦄

[CM_TCG]

Another cool thing at least on the Gen 3s are the headlight cleaners when you spray your windshield 3 times it sprays the headlights as well

[shastagrimes]

I have a 2011 MC for about 5 years and just bought a 2021 SE "Electric", and I'm bummed to find out they didn't put in the secret glove compartment! I keep trying to make it work though.... lol Honestly, I'm struggling with the decision on parting with my 2011 for its a fun 6 speed shifter! Yes there are some super cool features of having all electric!

[Girtains_brain]

The air scoop on the hood is only on the s model with the turbo. My mini has a scoop and it is an open vent that feeds directly to my cold air intake.

[vincentoliveira]

The hood scoops are only on the S models with the turbo or supercharger and work very well. The roof is one sunroof and one moonroof. You can also hold down the lock button to close all the windows
