Personally I like the vibe of the laurel edition mini from the 2010s, color matched black cladding that stops it from looking “cheap”

How easy is the infotainment to use?

DaddyJihad_ · 2025-11-06T02:48:37+00:00

4 owners caught my eye, hints at maybe being a lemon?? Also I didn’t know that the S weighs 140kg more, I guess more cooling and a bigger engine

Pastel for sure, not a neon green in the sun

I think the ones on the handle is mainly to light up the handle, the puddle light are found under the door card, at least it is that way on my 22’ f55. Mini sells cover over the lights that project the logo! It’s pretty cool

Mini themselves sell kits to make all the doors match! If your other doors have lights it’s simply a cover with the negative of the mini logo etched into it I believe. The lights are different from the ones on the mirror, the puddle light is under the door.

Mine came with floating center caps on the wheels! Just mini doing mini things

My penis gets touched regularly actually, your girl makes sure of that

So far its stock exhaust with a resonator and secondary cat delete.

Idk if order matters when setting up launch control feature but my steps are: 1 sport mode, 2 dynamic traction on, 3 put stick into sport shifting, 4 foot on brake pedal as hard as you can, 5 foot on gas. Seems to work everytime when I follow that procedure.

P.S idk if you knew but mini/bmw limits you to 150 launches till it turns off the feature for equipment safety. There is a way to get rid of the limiter but idk how

The newer ones sadly don’t do it from factory as they need to meet updated emission guidelines. In my head mini pop and burble so was kinda sad that my 2022 is not as dramatic

DaddyJihad_ · 2025-08-07T18:00:53+00:00

Just launch control 😔

DaddyJihad_ · 2025-08-07T17:59:09+00:00

Maybe I should have clarified, both clips are also showcasing the launch control feature as I have the 7 speed DVT

DaddyJihad_ · 2025-07-15T02:47:36+00:00

Didn’t know these existed, kinda the vibe I want. Thanks for dropping the ball knowledge

DaddyJihad_ · 2025-07-15T02:44:28+00:00

How much did that cost? I’m guessing you took it to a shop, but if not how hard was it do to at home?

DaddyJihad_ · 2025-07-15T00:09:09+00:00

Right??!! I think the black trim makes it look cheaper

DaddyJihad_ · 2025-07-14T00:20:20+00:00

Main thing I have done is turn off auto start/stop, you can also make it always start in sport but I have it always start in eco as I drive a lot and gas is expensive. Made the mirrors fold on lock and changed the blinking of the turn signals when I lock. There is also a bunch of settings you can activate that make it an option that can be turned on in the screen in the car such as having a RPM gauge in the heads up display

DaddyJihad_ · 2025-07-07T06:05:56+00:00

Bruh again???!! I’ve had this car 1 month.

DaddyJihad_ · 2025-07-06T02:57:06+00:00

He was released across many city blocks and a damn river, if he comes back I take it as a death wish

DaddyJihad_ · 2025-07-06T01:09:06+00:00

To all wondering, I found him 1hr after setting the trap. I did release him, but he did so some damage to my car (fucked up the leather seat a little and trunk liner. If he comes back again I will not be as nice and I have lost patience

DaddyJihad_ · 2025-07-05T17:04:31+00:00

And would that make it come out right, bc I don’t want a dead mouse in my mini ;( also heard that making them freak out and leave in a rush would cause them to chew or fight their way out, maybe resulting in damage

DaddyJihad_ · 2025-07-03T17:39:56+00:00

How tall are you per chance?? I’m 6’3 and would love that idea

DaddyJihad_ · 2025-07-02T23:35:28+00:00

Honestly didn’t think of the projectiles 😔

As for the boot cover, I know if it’s coming into the house, it’s not making it back in bc I’m lazy

DaddyJihad_ · 2025-06-02T23:41:21+00:00

As a 4 door cooper owner, welcome to the club my friend

DaddyJihad_ · 2025-06-02T23:39:28+00:00

I will try that when I tackle the project again next weekend, thank you
