What did you do to your MINI today?

Replaced my aging plastidipped grille surround and head/tail light rings w black plastic ones. Had to drop the front bumper to access the grille.

Finally replaced my yellow S badge on the front grille, after the dealership blew if off when they complimentarily washed my car during the last free service. Been sporting the plain black S underneath for quite some time.

Noticed that two of my bottom bolts were missing from the front lip. When it was still under warranty, I paid $500 to have them replace the temperature sensor when a rodent chewed through the wiring. After taking the front bumper off, I could've just spliced the wires back together myself, and I wouldn't have two missing bolts.

Found some 15" 5x100 wheels. Now I need to find some appropriate hub centric adapters. So far, I've found a set of 4 runs about $300.
 
I got 4.2mi/kWh one night last winter, in falling snow... I highly recommend Nokian wr-g4s for those south enough not to need hardcore winter tyres, which you do?
Summer tires are 205/45/17 inch Pirelli Cinturato P7 summer (non RFT) on black tentacle wheels and winters are 195/55/16 Pirelli Snowcontrol 3 RFT on loop spoke.
 
It sounds like your logical diagnostic procedure was conclusive and your SE is broken. This kind of problem usually happens two months AFTER the warranty expires. Because you weren't stranded in CT, and your warranty is still in effect, this is the rare breakdown that can be considered lucky.
As I predicted the dealer who work on my SE before about why car jump to restricted charging not to Maximum charging and send me to DC charger so laughable and my SE finally broke completely preventing charging at all on L2 is sending a SE to different facility after contacting BMW and hopefully an Einstein there is going to fix my Rexsio for good .Before when I call dealer courtesy car was available for November 12 but today they give me new ride right away as they find out is serious matter with SE .Here is my gas new ride. I post later what was wrong with my SE 2022. With 23000 miles .
