First Mini!

‘22 F55 ‘S’ Iconic w/6MT

Had it 5 days now…have been thrilled every minute of ownership/mile driven so far!

It’s a blacked-out White Silver w/chestnut leather.

I’m working on the break-in mileage and researching how to activate the Apple CarPlay w/out being in the States. I took delivery in Germany and very much wanting to use Waze here.

Thanks for the add and thanks for the resources and experience!

Delivery Day!

Thanks!

Well, CarPlay is still an unknown to me in this car. I can only surmise those who sell the activation code for this feature can’t help me because it needs to be in the US to hit a specific stateside site only available to those cars physically in the states.

Admittedly, I’ve not spent a super large amount of time researching this, but those questions/answers I did read matching my my circumstances also did not achieve success.

This car is a real pleasure to drive. Plenty of gumption and burns half the fuel of my Tacoma.

I do want to put the JB4 on it though. I think it’ll be more fun w/a bit more juice when I press the skinny pedal.

I realize with what it currently has for tires (Pirelli PZero 205/40-18) will need to be replaced with some extra grippy wider ones. I’d really like to step up those on it to some all season tires so I don’t need to run winter tires during those months. So, that’s really my next mod…either 215’s in an all-season compound or wheels and tires to run winters. Time to start reading more posts!

Thanks to all who’ve learned and posted about it before me!

Tom
