The 2022 Mini Cooper Lineup: Visual Order Guide

[Puppethead]

You taunt with that beautiful display! The partial-screen CarPlay is about 3/5, here's what my SE looks like:



As for an update, it seems like it should happen. Someone on the Electric MINI Enthusiasts Facebook group said it took about 15 minutes to update. Whether dealers can be convinced to do it is another matter.

FYI, I'm able to use the 2022 configurator if I either use an iOS device or use Safari's Develop menu on my Mac to trick the site into thinking I'm using an iPad. Seems a little glitchy and they may still be testing it, but I was interested to see that it currently allows a heads-up display on the Signature trim for $500.

Edit to add that you need to start with a Hardtop 2 door and then select SE.

Second edit to say that it now lets me configure a 2022 on a Mac without tricking it into thinking I'm using an iPad.

Final edit to say that cookies or cache or something stored from the old configurator was preventing the 2022 configurator from loading. Clearing the miniusa.com data in my browser fixed it, as mentioned in my followup post.

Works on an android phone too! Finally...

Drove it home today! What a ride home!

I just tried on my other Mac and it still loaded the old configurator. I cleared the miniusa.com data in Safari (Preferences > Privacy), quit Safari, and then reloaded miniusa. The 2022 configurator came up.

 

[Carsten Haase]

The 2022 configurator doesn't seem include all possible options. I was able to order my Signature with black door handles (ZGF) which aren't currently listed.

Looks fantastic!

I noticed it let you add a heads up display to the signature model as well...weird. Does anyone know what's up with the silver revolute spokes? They don't look silver...could be an issue as I think the dark colour will clash with the white mirrors and roof.

The roulette spoke are two toned wheels. The part closest to the center is painted black. The lighter portion is a really sweet silver. I had these on my last mini. I think they look fantastic but are prone to curb damage so be careful.

I’m asking about the revolite spokes, not the roulette spokes.

My mistake. Dyslexic and read wrong with the typo. Sorry. The revolite is a gunmetal gray. Closer to black than silver.

It's weird, the configurator calls them revolite silver, but the ones I have for my 2021 SE are "spectre grey". Different from the "bright silver" revolites, which are for the Clubman. Same style, different finish. I think also different size.

Yes, Clubman has same style, different size and different finish. They were called silver when I looked, but once I found out the real color I switched to black. I did not have a purchase order for them.

Waaah! Me wanna see it. Tell us about your ride home, please.

First of all, I have a perfect passenger in my 8 year old daughter, who sat at the back coming home with me. She was screaming for joy every time I accelerated, while admiring the fact that "there is a window over the car ceiling". I deliberately picked streets over highway so I can test the high regen one pedal driving and man, that was fun! Casually beat out a few ICEs and pickup trucks from a stop at traffic lights - didn't mean to, it was just a very natural process when you are driving a MINI SE I guess! Cranked up the music, and my daughter and I sang our way home...

Your story was way better than a photo! Thanks. (But you still owe us a photo.)

I just found this British video textually pointing out the features of the 2022 MINI Electric. The video displayed this panel at the end:



After reading this claim I immediately went out to my SE and listened intently as I turned it on and off 10 times. All I could make out were 2 beeps that make the final "I" in MINI (which in Morse code is -- .. -. ..). If the sound of the first three letters is in there, it's overwhelmed by the launch of the flying saucer. If I wasn't too lazy, I'd record the power-up audio sequence and use the Audacity program on my computer to display the wave forms so I could visually search for indications of all 4 Morse-code letters. But I am too lazy.

That is really cool!

I stopped by my local dealer today on a whim, and they had an Island Blue Electric Collection in the showroom. The multi color roof definitely looks better in person vs online. I still don't love it, but it's not as obnoxious as I thought it would be.

Where's your dealer? Was the car one someone ordered or was it just sitting there waiting for a buyer?
