Great video! You really know how to show off this wonderful car. I would note two things for non-MINI Cooper owners: the convenient designs for opening the hood and closing the moon roof. First, the two-pull-sequence hood release lever eliminates the need to feel around for a hidden latch under the front edge of the hood because there isn't one. Then, thanks to hydraulic struts, you can open the hood without fumbling around with a stick to hold it open. Second, you don't have to wait for the moon roof to close to the vent position before pressing the switch a second time to close it completely. You can press the switch twice at the start to close the moon roof completely.
I know this video has been out already for a while, but I just wanted to say a short thank you for all those videos you've uploaded about your Cooper SE. Those really influenced my decision to buy a used one myself. Now I just rewatched this particular video and noticed that window chirping in particular. I fixed mine by applying some rubber care on the door sealings. It's been almost two months now without any chirping and the rubber seals look much fresher too!
This was AWESOME! I have a question …. Can you hear the AC sound outside the car with the cover on and hood closed? We just got the 2023 and it seems REALLY LOUD! You’re the only one I could find that focused on the sounds of the car and you rock for that!
Fantastic video my friend! Would you be able to make a video focusing on the sound system of the Mini? Whether it’s the premium sound system or regular? If you’re afraid of a copyright strike, just play the royalty free background music you have on your videos on the speakers! Thank You so much!!
Thanks for the quick reply! That's what I thought, but looked like the rear might be amber from that view. Guess I'll have to look into getting the European tail light version when my car arrives after all 🤔
I took some time off from the video hobby. Busy holiday season for me! But I plan to get back to it soon. There are a few items on my list, including cold-weather range, heated steering wheel, and heated seats. I already covered the steering wheel, but I will be doing a follow up on it along with the heated seats.
Does your mini hug the road like they say? I've had three models of Toyota and all three had the loosey goosey feel in the back end on some turns or slightly wet road. You know, where it feels like the back end is losing it. Really want a car that doesn't do that and that has the nice Federal US tax credit.
Is that when you've turned the car on (drive mode) and open the door without your seat belt on and it chirps and turns back off? If so, look for "bottle opener by tikit" on Amazon. You can click it into the seat belt and the car will remain on when you open the door . I use it all the time if I forget something in the house and want to leave the car running.
Great video, but do you have an alarm sound video? I occasionally get a single high-pitched alarm from the dash. It appears with an icon but by the time I look up the alarm and icon have vanished.
That may be your frontal collision warning. If you're on a collision course, the icon appears, and if you're about to actually hit something and haven't done anything about it, the alarm sounds.
Hi. I am in Scotland. Just watched your wonderful video on mini range. I cannot find the link to the do the calculation on my phone. Can you or anybody else help me. I know this is not the right video but I cannot find a comment button on the video I was watching. Thanks.
Do you understand the target market for this car? It is intended for urban settings, not long road trips. And 100% is closer to 128 miles except when very cold. Still, not a long range car.
All Those Levers To Specific Things Are Really Futuristic

Thank you so much for the detailed sound review!

Yes - it is startlingly loud - but that is normal.
@@minise-focus Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So useful thank you! Will you be doing a video on useful voice commands? Thanks!
I don't have one planned yet.
Fantastic video my friend!

Thank You so much!!
Great video! My son loves the sounds too...Random question, do the rest turn signals flash in amber or red?
Rear turn signals are red; front side scuttles and front headlight rings flash amber.
Thanks for the quick reply! That's what I thought, but looked like the rear might be amber from that view. Guess I'll have to look into getting the European tail light version when my car arrives after all 🤔
Awesome videos! Any chance for a child seat/booster test video at the back?
No. Sorry. I am a long way past owning booster seats. My kids are driving the Mini.
@@minise-focus no worries, thank you! Keep the videos coming!
Love your videos, any upcoming videos you’re working on?

Try Angel Wax H2go on your windows, should last alot longer than the RainX stuff.
Except for the price vs benefit - Angel Wax is a lot more expensive than Rain X.
@@minise-focus depends, of it lasts fR longer, you need less of it! Only a few quid cheaper anyhow!
i dont driveing mini but be honest every mini just lovey... is that right?

It absolutely hugs the road! Especially with the OEM summer tires.
I would really like to know how to get rid of the chirp when I open my door (but not leaving car)

If only someone would do this with the uk version

Hi! It's in the video description on the range video. czcams.com/video/IovK4pfPunc/video.html
Great video, love so much this color,
but I've a question :
100% = 112 miles ??? wtf this is ridiculous ?
Do you understand the target market for this car? It is intended for urban settings, not long road trips. And 100% is closer to 128 miles except when very cold. Still, not a long range car.
Yeah, but tell me a car that is more fun to drive for those 112 miles.
Can you turnoff the engine start stop noise?
Not in the available settings. Possibly in BimmerCode, but I have not researched that.
1:55 bmw alarm.
The alarm sound like a BMW and Mercedes
