I just bought a used 120d F40 while I can - before the uglier 2025 1er takes over. I was contemplating between a mini and a 1er - and I do agree with what you said, it's a nicer Mini. It just makes more sense. I got a decent deal on the used 120d with around 30k miles on it & fairly well speced from the local BMW used cars showroom. Handling is great - especially with the xdrive and 8-speed ZF gearbox. Fun and yet economical. I had to get a smaller second car - glad I got this. I have an Audi Q5 as well. The Beamer is soo much fun to drive compared to my Q5 - which feels like steering a ship in comparison.

We have a 2024 Cooper S. Dislikes: #1) We also have several other sports cars. Our other sports cars can show you oil temp, oil pressure, water temp, and alternator voltage right in front of you on the dash, at all times. MINI is severely lacking in driver information. #2) I don't like that when you raise or lower the steering wheel the tach and the speedo move with it. #3) The Cooper S should come with the current JCW level of horsepower and the JCW should be at an appropriate level above that. For the amount you pay for a Cooper S or JCW, the horsepower is very expensive.

Could you make a video explaining the difference before and after installation?

Why is it 20:42 and still bright out??

Turned it off the second you said zf. Get a new profession lol

Waheeeey! Leeds Beckett!

Yawn

I walk Slow

Awesome car

Run flats are proper shite. I’ve had 2 punctures and we had to call the tow truck on the second occasion as the Mini just couldn’t make it to the tyre shop even below 80kph. Utterly useless. Then loads of shops don’t carry that tyre as well Oh yeah - do you know the Mini leaks through the rear lights. If it rains hard you’ll get water in the boot.

The type of people who would say they don't like the shape or color of the inside or outside of an egg but since buy them can't please you all

I hated my mini JCW so much 5 months later i sold it. One of the worst cars ive owned brutal ride quality i changed to non runflats not much better. Best day ever when it was driven off my drive.

I have the the 135i over a year now 23 plate I'm over the moon with it quiet comfortable quick when you want it to be excellent about town Go get

Well I have bought one. So yes

Interesting review. I'm currently thinking of changing my 2017 Mercedes A-class diesel and I can't make my mind up whether to go Merc again (A35 AMG), BMW M135i or something completely different 🤔 I do like the look of the 1-Series, especially in blue. Funny, after you'd been driving for a couple of minutes, I recognised where you were. My local area too 🙂👍

I am due to test-drive one next week. Having lived with a MINI Cooper for years, I expect the new 1series to be a reworked MINI, not a real BMW. I will reserve my verdict until I've driven it. I am very aware that alternatives are available.

Like it or leave it.... While the Mini isn't as mini as it used to be, it's still quite small in comparison to the plethora of behemoth SUVs that crowd the roads. With a small car comes a small boot without room for a spare tire. Hence, the run flats. Maybe not the best riding tire, but perhaps better than the side of the road at 3 am. Of course, you could always swap them out and take yer chances. Also, with small cars, smaller visors. These could be bigger, but they'd appear awkward if they were. Maybe there's an aftermarket visor extension or something.

Great vlog josh

Great informative video should have more views mate 👍 can you let me know what your reliability has been like I’m supposed to by a 2016 copper s tomorrow I’m abit nervous heard mixed opinions on forums

I like the dipstick feature I always find it hard to tell where the level is on a normal dipstick

I have owned a second hand Mini Clubman 2009 for five years and I use it as a gig car because it holds my travel guitars and musical equipment perfectly. Because of low ground clearance and the fact that I live in the Rocky Mountains with snow during the winter months, I garage it during that part of the year. I really enjoyed and even learned things from your video. I think you made an excellent presentation. I'm looking into buying another Mini, maybe the "E" type. Thank you, kind sir.

Love it just pops😊

Embarrassing

Adaptive cruise control on your MINI will eat your rear brake pads a lot quicker.

I had an idential Mini to yours. Mine was a 2015, direct from the factory, with every available extra on it. I got rid of it at 3 years old. I had the same issues with mine. I also hated the fact that the pedals were offset (Mine was an auto). A friend of mine had a Cooper, with the same issues with the cruise control. His slammed on the brakes at 70mph on the motorway, which caused an accident. He said the seat belt got so tight that it caused him chest pains. He died the following day of a heart attack. I'm sure it was related. I loved my Mini. I've owned 5 BMW Mini's, but never again!

Good video but you are a little long winded, could have a shorter video and easier for viewers to watch.

Hey, just saw your video! Very nice mod, gonna do it also on my 2021 M240i. Can you say me how you coded Android Play? Cheers from Germany

When doing the oil measurement, it bring the rpm up to 1,1K, thats why you hear a "hum" its literally the ingine gonig faster

i have ocd with that pic of the reg. mini when in reverse (on the display->single tailpipe). i know it is silly, but i agree, wtf!?

great video, i hope i will own one some day (i'm only 18) but i'm sure i will achieve my goal in the future :).

Hey bro! You missed a trick not promoting my used car buying book haha 😂 Good video though. Decent concept and it could run and run for years aha! 🤞

Once I buy it, I'll give you a ride, don't worry mate

amazing video

No spares tires wear out in 1 yr. put off road tires on much better .

You must like something about the car ? There's plenty of other cars if you dont like it. A VW or an ST or a an Audi S1 or a i30N. If you can't afford the tryres really the cars going to suffer because you can't afford to maintain it. Hopefully this ii not the case and you're just having a moan. Anyway take care and have a good 2024.

Buy a Lexus, these cars are nothing but headache.

1. Just change the tyres... 2. Oil should always be checked with a warm motor. What you had to endure was waiting ONE minute sitting in the warm. Wow... I prefer that rather than getting my hands dirty in the cold. 3. Considering your anger about the fancy oil-check, why hating about the cruse control. Dude... just use your foot. 4. The rubber sealing on your door will not scratch or wear down your paint. Take some WD40 and and you'll see... ...its just rubber ON the paint. 5. Not showing the double pipe... well.... yeah... that's actually something to get mad about XD

Congratulations. This will be me someday when I get an M240i. So many people are sleeping on this car and they don't understand. It's a Supra with rear seats.

Please ignore 14:32 for 5 seconds where I say insert rev clip, I forgot to include apologies 😅

I’ve had my 2017 JCW for the last 5 years - TBH most of the issues you’ve mentioned has been a non issue for me. One of the first things l did was to swap out the tyres and wheels for Michelin PS4s and OZ Ultraleggera wheels which improved the ride no end. Cruise control is something I hardly use so no issues. Electric dipstick is a non issue. Door rub after 6 years, no major problem. Basically you’re too fussy just get rid 😂

The one thing that erks me about the Mini any of them is the Sun Visor, it does not screen you from the low Sun when you turn it to the side of the drivers window, and it is not long enough to cover that window.

I have an F54 SD Clubman and I have 18s on mine. I've never had 1 puncture in 2 years of having them. Yes it's a bit noiser ,but that said I actually like them. Your Mini is real nice tbh. 👌

The pirellis it comes with are terrible. Absolutely crap in the wet and just crap in general. Switched to PS4 for 3 years and now PS5. Moved up a size to 215/40 aswell. Got a Clubman now, and chuffed with it. Driving in a jcw now is a bit of a lost cause with all the speeds humps, traffic and speed cams.

Great video mate

A fiat uno will keep you happy, cheer up!

Just sell the car & buy something with a dipstick 😂😂

the mini is no rols r but driveble i love my20 23 cooper s cabrio r 57 i am 64 and everday is fun the 42 000 euro car is falure for the mony sorry for the poor englisch

Please balance the audio levels in your videos. I've turned up the volume to hear you speaking then my ears burst when you cut to music!

To put low profile run flats on a Cooper S or JCW is foolish, in my opinion. I have Hankook Ventus Prime 195/55 87W @£112 each, and they're fine.

the safety camera in the front window that i have also in my 2023 mercedes actros when the sun shines into the pit cover at a certain angle, then all safety systems go off until an emergency stop
