Trying to see the stock vs that dyno... and not on 93 with a dp or any other mods etc. But who am I kidding. I am not very likely to tune.

:dat: it looks like I need to start posting in here.

1. Does anyone know how to get my Iphone into the center console phone holder? and :wtf: is it ? I have no idea how to use it.
2. Where can I find a maintenance schedule for the mini...? The Manuel is completely useless
3. Does every mini have Brake sensors for when the pads are due ? My BMW estimated the mileage remaining, my mini however has nothing in the on board computer for that
#1) You need the snap-in adapter, however... not sure if you can even get one for the newest biggest phablets: https://www.shopminiusa.com/product/504 ... one-cradle
#2) Maintenance schedule: https://new.minimania.com/Mini_Cooper_S ... Gen3_Minis
#3) Yes, brake sensors on the pads. Brake fluid is every 2 years.
Ty. I have a snap in adapter, but my phone doesn't fit into it... also It doesn't seem to be connected to anything as its plastic :iono: Looks like I'll let that go.

2. TY for posting that. Can I do a reset of the oil reminder myself, like I could on the bmw?
3. Very odd I don't have mileage estimates in the OBC and the link above lists miles, and same thing goes for brakefluid which should have due date. All my BMWs had it, but this doesn't :butwhy:

I might do a thing.... OEM JCW Exhaust is around 1k... so this may be the answer....

Not cheap... but... :iono: Yolo? Mini wants $249 per exhaust tip (need 2) but I found some no name brand ones on feebay for far less than that. :wtf: is up with the exhaust tip non sense.

What are we looking at here?
Am I daft or did your car not come with a complete exhaust, or are you simply retrofitting a JCW exhaust?

I wasn’t sure if that was the complete kit or just the pipe at first, but nope it’s complete and retails at closer to $2k.

It’s a full kit, pipe + muffler + controller + remote. Aftermarket for the same thing is $500 more at least. My only issue will be tips... but I may get knock off ackrapovic on feebay for $70 or just simple black ones at auto zone or something. I have no interest in spending $500 on tips that’s fking madness

They're based out of Ohio, but most eCommerce places are collecting tax nowadays.
They don't which is Huge for me since that's a 10% savings off a $900 order....

Gonna monitor Max's satisfaction with his, but I may go Mini instead of :gorf: next year for a company vehicle

If I do a wrap I will likely go a little more colorful than the Mini that's pictured
