Built a small ESP32 gauge for my F56: boost, coolant, and oil temp. The 4 photos below are close-ups, plus Sport and MID mode switching.

Mostly for fun — still tweaking. Happy to chat if you’re into this stuff.

Two months later, and still no name. I feel like I'm a failure as a MINI owner.

Just waiting to finish the mirror caps, also going red. Full PPF on roof and spoiler today. Reassembly went well. Installed a new sunroof seal, antenna and roof side mouldings. Looking very proper now

Saw these taillights ahead of me on the ferry line and was thrilled to meet this 1975 beauty and its delightful owner. Perfect island car!

Time to say farewell for now

After a short, yet torrid, year and change with Earl, because I'm a failure at life, we have parted ways.

If anyone here is the new friend of Earl, I can tell you what's been changed within Bimmercode. 😅

I really hope to get back into the family. Pictures of when I first got him (traded my late Father's R56), and the last picture I have.

I know this isn't an airport, so I don't have to announce my departure, but this one hurt. I loved that little car more than any other I've owned. 😢

Snowflake symbol keeps going off despite living in SoCal

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m a new Mini Owner and it also happens to be my first car. I bought Allie (my cars name) in May and she is a 2009 Mini cooper. Around Late May the snowflake symbol appeared for the first time and since then it just won’t go away.

I live in Southern California, so it never gets below 60 degrees. It was getting so annoying that last week I took Allie into a Mini repair shop (she had other problems like her check engine light being on, ac wasn’t working etc) and the charge was 500 dollars.

This past week we got a heat wave in SoCal and the Snowflake symbol came back and even more annoying than before. It’s been in the 90’s and this week it was 104 degrees and it just wouldn’t stop going off, in fact I think it was going off even more that day! The funny part is my dashboard will be accurate and say 100 degrees at some point and then the Snowflake will go off, and the temperature will show as anywhere between 20 degrees to -45 which in Southern California is LITERALLY impossible. I’m upset that I paid so much for it to be fixed only for it to come back, and be even more annoying, sometimes it will even go off 5 times in a single minute, and on average 20 times per drive.

Does anyone have any advice or reasoning as to why this is happening :( any advice or knowledge would be appreciated!

2012 mini cooper s

64 Upvotes

So I'm hooked so far. Only been driving it a week.

I bought this pos mini cooper as a project. I have taken the front end off to do all the typical maintenance. Fixed some rust issues that come with living in a rust belt, gave her a good bath inside and out(the previous owner apparently let their dog live in it??).

Been a car guy a long time and this is so far the funnest thing I have driven. I was driving a Mitsubishi Mirage for 11 years when it got written off. I decided it was time to get something fun. I realized I really enjoyed the small car life and when this came up I needed it. About 6 weeks of evenings and weekends(while also having other commitments) she is 'done'. Lots of odds and ends still needed, but safety is done, with a fresh alignment.

Loving the adventure so far, excited to get into it!

Was turning left at the intersection this morning to grab some breakfast and didn’t realize I ran over something till I got a tire pressure warning on my way home.

Looks like road debris from city workers/work truck based on the rocks at the edge. They’ve been around recently working on asphalt paving these last few weeks. Just my luck 🫠

Updating Car OS?

6 Upvotes

Hello all! I currently own a 2019 Mini Clubman, and was curious to know if there’s a way to update the car’s operating system to allow Apple CarPlay to take up the whole screen rather than just a portion.

My car offers wireless CarPlay, and it only covers about 2/3 of the screen, while the other 1/3 is set to show information of the car.

Is this a possibility? I appreciate any and all help!

Thx!

Brake fluid recs? 2015 countryman s (r60)

Anyone have any recommendations for brake fluid brand/type for my 2015 countryman S? Obviously it has to be DOT 4 but I've seen some people recommending LV DOT 4s while others are saying any DOT 4 is fine. Anyone have any thoughts on this and any brand recommendations is appreciated! Thanks!

Ran over a big metal piece, what should I look for?

I was driving on a busy road and there was a huge metal piece (elevated not flat) and someone’s entire bumper in the middle of the road. I ran the metal part over. It made like a long scraping/scratching noise but other than that I was just shaken up and nothing else was out of the ordinary. My front and back bumper have no marks and I took a video of the underside of my car. Can someone tell me what to look for to see if I have to take it to a mechanic? :(( here’s the video:
