Been driving mine (same model too) since end of March and it’s a huge improvement over my previous Cooper S E that I ran for 3 years. Yesterday there was a big OTA update that has improved quite a few of Bjorn’s dislikes.

[ElmarBon]

I think the heads up display makes a lot of sense for a car without a normal screen in front of the driver

Thanks for the run Bjorn I ordered mine the other day gonna take a few months to get here in Australia

Regarding being power user and having the Ionity Passport Power it’s a funny story in Poland (maybe in other countries too, but I'm not sure). Since we're mostly dependent on coal and our electricity prices are among the highest in the EU or even the world, it's cheaper to use Passport Power for most journeys.
With Passport Power it's 2.05 PLN (5.7 NOK, 0.48€)/kWh, the base price is 3.5 PLN (9.7 NOK, 0.82€)/kWh and Passport Power costs 51.5 PLN (142NOK, 12€). So even if you're charging 50% of an EV like the TM3 LR, it's cheaper to get the highest plan.

Regardless of everything else I like the look center console (finally something different) and head up display (come on Tesla and EX30).

I personally drive the 2022 plugin hybrid MINI Countryman SE ALL4 and I enjoy it very much. As a possible successor, I considered the new fully electric MINI Countryman, but because it disappoints on so many fronts, my next car will no longer be a MINI. Range is very important to me. Of course you also buy a MINI for sporty driving, but if you don't drive sporty for a while, I would expect lower consumption and a greater range, just like my current car. Bjorn's review confirms that many things can be improved. I will give some examples: larger battery, improved energy consumption, improved air resistance, improved range, standard speedometer in front of the driver (the current head-up display is an expensive option), larger icons on the central screen so they can be more easily touched, showing more information about battery percentage as standard on every screen, improving storage options between the front seats (now al your stuff is shown), more leg room for rear passengers, lower the volume of (annoying) sounds when switching drive modes, etc.

If the charging is failing so much because of the car I don't know if you should be deducting that time?

[Maku-mysr]

If you want a cute design, need the trunk space and are small or have no kids or kids without legs, go for it. Otherwise the Smart #1/#3 are much better offerings in this market space. Much more space in the backseats and with Rwd/awd and much better charging speed.

[onthebeach]

Looks like the interior design was made by a big fan of the German 60s scifi series Raumpatrouoille Orion, they had only round screens there.

[S_Curves]

This will appeal to some. Hopefully, BMW sort out the mini’s software clunkiness over time. The screen looks cool. It’s nice that it is different. Why not round? It’s fine.

[helddi]

Too small, too slow (charging and software), too expensive. This car costs in the Netherlands €1500 more then the Xpeng G6.
Looks nice, but it isn’t imho.

[rab]

You can change the design of the rear light to display the union jack flag instead @3:50
This Mini just looks hideous.

[lastik]

City car? This is how you call bad EV’s nowadays I guess.

[ianemery]

The side profile and colour scheme had me thinking you had used an old photo of the Kia Soul EV MK2 for the thumbnail.

[janv.w.b]

A qué tiene un aire del Kia soul 2.gen?

[stefan]

Getting used to the "user interface" of an EV always takes some time, but this isn't my cup of tea i'm afraid. The overall design of the Countryman is nice, apart from some weird choices. "John Cooper Works"? I don't think so...just some hollow marketing bla bla.

[nero]

Why do you deduct all the charging problems? It is with almost every charger, so it seems to be a problem with the car.

[andrewjoy]

I do like the circle of range overlaid on the map. Otherwise not my cup of tea. Lol

[CoxJul]

Umm... City car? I think the clue is in the name!

[olaf]

Unbelievable how many cars are slower than the model3 highland in the siberian run ahah
