You can change the turn signal so it blinks 3 times instead of once. There are a lot of other neat adjustments you can make in settings ... unlock both doors or just one when you hit the button, how long the lights stay on when you shut off the car, how loud the dings are, adjust the rain sensor...
Thanks for the great video. I've got an '07 MCS and I never knew about the semi-turn signal. It can be a little sticky and sensitive, so this helps a lot. I just subscribed! Thanks again.
Nice vid! I have a 2009, which might be different, but your key fob looks like it is missing the aluminum (chrome) trim ring! These can be ordered online. I had to glue mine on. The seat should have a lumbar support knob on the driver's seat near the armrest. The seat also remembers its forward position when you slide it to access the rear seats. The center armrest tilts up and out of the way. Puddle lights on the doors help you see your footing and can be swapped out to project a mini logo and other graphics. And finally there are videos on the comfort hack which lowers the window with the door opening which helps the driver enter in tight carparks. Happy Motoring!
Great vid! Super helpful because I got the same car. I wanted to know more about it because the seller told me of the secret compartment he found a few days before I went and I accidentally found the colored lights changer trying to go back on the light intensity.
Great video. All these awesome features are thanks to BMW. Most are standard on BMW’s. Also worth noting the there is a cigarette plug in charger located in the trunk (good if you’re camping). Not only does the seats move up and down but so does the steering wheel. Also comes with umbrella clips in the trunk.
My 2006 has a screen as well. You can call it a bug screen but I call it a 'sun dimmer' even when the sun roof is closed. It does take the edge off of bright sunlight coming through.
Chris, i have a mini from 2009, and the heater inside the car does not heat up. The fan also keeps running after the car has been switched off, plus it starts running when the car is cold and just on ignition. I replaced the thermostat, and now the heater inside the car works fine again. But now the fan does not start up anymore. I have seen a video where the symptoms i just described show the fan has also gone bad. What do you think? How to test if the fan indeed has gone bad? May it also be possible that by switching around 2 of the connectors to the sensors on the thermostat (the 2 connectors that you can actually switch around), this prevents the fan from starting? Any ideas would be much appreciated.
btw headlights going up and down following the road..... as a Trucker in the Netherlands i am not so fond of this new tech. Because you sometimes think the other person is driving with the high beam on, but they aren't. And so, to warn them about it i often signal them, but it means i am signaling people who did not have their high beam on. Still, their headlights blind me from time to time. On a high way it is not the biggest problem. But a country road where we pass next to eachother, it can be very irritating. Plus blinding. So: To be honest: NOT the best idea.
nice. I have Mac-10s on the front of my wrx to help get through traffic...only problem is the Mac-10s haven't hit anything, they keep missing their targets. I need to switch to rockets/missiles like in your thumbnail....
Cmooon man.. What to the hell are the hidden features that u are talking about? All these that u said are known to you from the car dealer, at the first day u ll buy a Mini... If you want a REAL hidden feature read this... I saw that u bought an r56 hatchback which is a great choice.. Did u know that this car in the electrical safety box down of the hood has a yellow safety clip for reasons like environmental pollutants, which when u pull it out, the car from 93 ps became 115ps and the torgue from 140Nm became 179 Nm?? It's obvious that the CO2 Emissions will grown up as well, but it's a small amount in front of 22 extra ps with no money at all that your car will get...
I've owned a mini for 10yrs and didn't know if I hold the unlock key button down it will open all the windows!!
It doesn't.
Now if my windows are down and I put the key in the door lock and hold in lock, all the windows will close.
It does ty ty ty❤🎉🎉
@@Jebusisblatantidolatry on the actual key itself. It's awsum. So love my mini.
@@sonyalister8644 which series?

Nice! Thanks for these extra feature tips!
That metal ring is money! My fob kept falling out whenever I whipped around turns etc. Since I purchased one, it has not happened again.
The air scoop on the hood is only on the s model with the turbo. My mini has a scoop and it is an open vent that feeds directly to my cold air intake.
Wrong! It is also on the supercharged cooper s.
@@Herc-eles s model 🫡
The s regular has one just for esthetics

So cool right!? Let me know if you find more I’ll make a part two ha!
Yes I bought the same car and so delighted to learn this about this mini cooper🎉🎉
I didn't know half of them. Thanks bro!

Newer Mini Coopers have a sun roof with a bug screen.SO COOL!!!

3:33 Auto leveling headlights are required in Europe for every Xenon headlights and Mini just didn't remove them in the american model
Another cool thing at least on the Gen 3s are the headlight cleaners when you spray your windshield 3 times it sprays the headlights as well
🤯oh I hope I have that
If you hold the ambient light toggle for 5-10 seconds until they flash & boom, you have rainbow lights 🌈🦄
@@emmalovelock6757 perfect for driving at night 🤪
@@ChrisNCars it looks cool though 🌈🦄
Only on the f56 models and up this one is r56 model
How can I get the back lights to come on when driving at night and also the front HIGH Beams to stay on ?
Mine does not tilt the rear sunroof.
I have a 2014 clubman, and some features are there , but still don't know my mini very well only one year with the mini.
That air filter the way it set up actually makes it so you’re sucking in hot air from the engine compartment
@@Motomonk420 ha! Yeah I know I need to make a little plate or something .
What year is the cas mini base model in your video am not sure if my sunroof both tilt or not please help
@@Christiajenkins 2012
It's only the Cooper S has a hood scoop
nice. I have Mac-10s on the front of my wrx to help get through traffic...only problem is the Mac-10s haven't hit anything, they keep missing their targets. I need to switch to rockets/missiles like in your thumbnail....
🤣
No no no. I don't have a xenon light just H4 Bulb like yours and I got Sensors Level for them. One on front and one on back.
What year is the mini in your video
@@Christiajenkins 2012
had to thumbs up the vid...
mario kart in video awesome...
best game ever was super nintendo mario kart.....yes i know his was n64 kart i believe...
Can anyone help my screen on my dash have started flickering and the screen completely goes a kinda yellow colour
Yes the key fob charges from the car/ BTW, your key fob is missing the trim ring
R56 not bad. I might trade up someday. I like my r53s.
R56 is turbo and turbo's have hood scoop. He has no hood scoop so no turbo no S
The binnets scoop comment.. maybe you need to read up some more on the S version and what an intercooler is before you comment?
Mini Cooperrrrr
Their is a hiden dashboard the you have to see for those that don't know❤
Good Man That Was
4:11
Basic knowledge. Press and hold the color changer light.
EVERYONE who has a Mini knows about these.
If you read the comments, apparently;y they don't.
I copied other vids and did a bad job.
Sorry for you?

They took away a lot of the cool features, like the secret dash compartment in the new ones! Smh
