Hi there fellow mini owners,
There are 2 things I need to know about my 2012 Mini Countryman S.
1. Can the vehicle be put in sport mode while moving or only when stopped?

2. Can the vehicle be driving in sport mode all the time or just sometimes like on the freeway?

Thank you for your assistance!

 

Welcome to NAM. You will be fine switching into and out of Sport mode while driving and the only down fall driving in Sport mode will be the decrease in gas mileage. other than that, you can drive in Sport mode all you want.

 

SCORE!! Thank you and Thank you for your reply. I am a bit of a hotrodder/leadfoot kind of gal so until the gas tank is almost empty I don't really pay too much attention to that (unless of course the po-po is around).

 

And here I thought chp5150x stood for California Highway Patrol and your badge number.
Post some photos for us to see and where you are located for future info if and when you need help with the MINI. We will hopefully be able to point you to a good independent mechanic or dealer if needed.

 

Yeah actually you're half right. The last part is not my badge # but that I am crazy and the "X" means female. I am not an officer but I do tell them where to go. I will def post pics when I figure out how to. I took your advice and stayed in sport mode on my drive home. I only got her up to about 90 tho. I might have a little insight to where the units are located but it doesn't mean I am exempt from a ticket lol

 

Does KOA-789 mean anything to you? That is a tough job and I appreciate what you do! Spent a year and a half in dispatch and learned a lot.

 

just wanted to say hello and welcome

 

Welcome to NAM! Glad people are helping you out already!

 

Thank you everyone! I appreciate it very much!

Mib4840 - I would guess a PD but wasn't sure so I googled it. Phoenix PD correct?
