What did you do to your MINI today?

I understand this is how you can do it, but on my last MINI and all the other cars I've had with folding wing mirrors they folded when the car was turned off.

 

I thought I had read somewhere that the automatic folding on MINIs doesn't happen in North America, but it does in other countries.

 

Lots of options are left coded out for NA. Always has been the case.

 

Might have to do with crash protection

 

I'm a Brit living in America. British parking and roads are narrow like few Americans would believe. Brits often drive closer than most Americans can park. Folding mirrors save a lot of mirrors. Having your mirror knocked off by passing cars was common before folding mirrors. Most of the US, I'd say it is an unnecessary gimmick. It'll wear the mechanism.

 

I increased the mileage of my car by 5% yesterday.
My butt hurts.

 

Anyone know if there is a way to adjust the notification volume in the MMI? In my Audi you could adjust so it would come in while still listening to music. I find it stops the music and then takes a few seconds to go back to music.

 

Had mine installed at the port…

I live in Norway

 

I am trying to decide what lowering springs to go with, Eibach or H&R. Any advice between the two is greatly appreciated. Also spacers to run once lowered; I am thinking 15mm and 20mm but not sure if those are too aggressive once lowered.

On another note, is anyone running a strut bar? Seems like the ICE versions should fit the SE with no issue.

 

A strut bar would make it impossible to pop off the inverter/motor cover to show off what powers this gloriously ICE-less MINI. No one wants to give up that pleasure at their local car shows.

 

My electrician came and wired up the 240v. Unfortunately the plug I supplied, Hubbell 9450 was missing a screw. I should have checked it. Luckily he had a 50amp stove plug in his truck. He wasn’t too concerned using it and neither am I. I set charge rate at 16amp in the car. We were both pretty annoyed with the Hubbell plug missing parts. Everything else was smooth sailing.

I’ll use the BMW flex charger for now as the last month has been really expensive lol

 

Possibly I’ll replace it in the near future. He’s been doing lots of EVSE installs lately but suggested just paying a bit more for a hardwired version. Less connections in the system.

 

I did the same with all the heavy lifting . And that’s only for the full rebate. They’ll credit you up to 350$ for an EVSE an on existing circuit. I have sources on that
