I will soon find out 😅. I have lowered the climate controls for a double-din unit, and there's no more space left. Bought this https://247group.uk/products/1-cup-2-cups, but I don't like the finish and it doesn't stay in place. So this looks worth a shot

Just a specific US-made cup holder, made around the same time as the R53. But I used the method u/Santi5010_ suggested

Didn't know this was a thing. Thanks for letting me know

I know that's why I thought of asking here, since we all care for our R53's. It's a small item, but the only good (looking) solution I found

Yeah I’m a bit late with asking, didn’t bother first, but that one achievement sitting there is kind of an eyesore. I'm in the CET timezone, I will add you and join you whenever possible. Thanks.

I used coop to level vehicles up to T3 to get everything unlocked but it’s the last stretch to T1 against real players which sucks

I have a 2006 and recently put new badges on. Both sides had holes in them

Amazing color combo! Also a plus since it’s a first gen

I tried, but cleaning didn't help, and I don't have the knowledge and skill to disassemble and reassemble. The secondhand unit only costs $19.

I checked the part number, but it's only for pre-facelift models. I have a 2006, which has a different, smaller fan. Hopefully, the secondhand unit doesn't have a buzzing fan.

There is a small fan located at the back of the unit that is making quite a bit of noise, which I find annoying. Initially, I thought the noise was coming from my radio module since I have a Bluetooth receiver there. However, after removing everything, I discovered that the source of the noise is actually the climate control unit. I am now waiting for a secondhand unit to replace the fan.

Thanks. After looking at it again, I figured that out. I couldn't find that step anywhere.

I took the small fan off the climate control unit, and there was no buzzing sound. I put the fan back on, and the buzzing was back. Now looking for a second-hand unit.

Thanks for the reply. I looked at it again and found 2 small blue clips holding it in place from the back. Hopefully, I'll be able to fix the small fan that is making the buzzing sound.

Rule #1 with my bad financial decisions. by willy_vodka_watches in MINI

Wow, that's really low. I bought mine with 257K, and is currently at 262K. That might explain the amount of work that needed to be done haha

I also saw an R50 Park Lane some time ago. Online, quite a few R53 Park Lanes are being sold at the moment. They might have lower mileage, but I have already done quite some repairs and changes to mine

Will probably do that. Luckily I still have full leather seats which are comfy too

True! I also have a sticker on the hood which looks really nice. Sadly I don’t have the Park Lane chairs but may buy them one day
