I do believe they linked the wrong mount. In my searching this is the correct mount for the SE (or any Mini with the digital dash):

Good catch! And photos of the mount in service, even!

Still, someone should tell Cravenspeed there was a MINI Cooper SE with a digital instrument cluster in 2020.

 

Link. Easy to install. The photo on that site is of my SE. Although it's supposed to be the Union Jack pattern, sometimes it looks like an indigenous feather design.

 

Sorry, better link to the exact page:

Photos there of it installed, really fits perfectly.

 

I ordered the third option last night.

 

The way things are going, I’ll receive it before taking my “oh-for-sure-by-the-end-of-May” delivery.

 

I thought folks here might appreciate my new sticker I just had made.

 

A small air pump is a great idea! I do not shop Amazon and instead buy local or from smaller online vendors. I am waiting on this air pump- if they do not end up selling through Amazon...https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/oakiron/the-worlds-1-smart-tire-inflator-0?ref=axi16l&token=59e14b69&gclid=CjwKCAjwrNmWBhA4EiwAHbjEQCDd6wGDQqKfhxEEiSRT0vuwKUFZdDyKZr46WP-A6HYuoR-EADHt8RoClV0QAvD_BwE

 

Can I ask which site you ordered this on? The Covercraft site lists this for $83.99.

 

Directly from them.

 

I bought this and installed it last week. It wasn’t too hard, but it was a little unnerving taking off the digital cluster. It’s super high quality, but I’m not convinced that I like the positioning options.

 

It's a small dash, I can't find anywhere better to put it. The ProClip option is way down low and over by the passenger's knee, which is way too far to glance for my GPS screen.
I agree it's not perfect, but it's the best option I have been able to come up with.

I have had it bounce off the magnet mount a few times when hitting hard bumps, the mag could be a bit stronger, but there are ways to deal with that.
Don't regret my purchase of it, seems like the best compromise.

 

I’m curious about the fit as well!

 

Lol I just finally had a chance to look through all the goodies from my recent ECS order, and realized I ordered the genuine MINI sport aerial, though I thought for sure I had ordered one of the generic ECS aluminum ones. I’m not disappointed.

 

I haven't seen the ECS antenna, but I think MINI's Sport Aerial Rod is perfect. I wouldn't trade it for a shark fin like so many modern cars have.

 

I went with the sport rod. I like it.

 

I feel like I'll be the last person in the world who prefers the full aerial.

 

Nope.

 

Here is the Stubby antenna from ECS. It measures approx. 3.5”.
