Bought a Orange, 2019 2dr, 6 speed this past week
Bought it completely online since I could not find one locally
Bit worried about the complete online thing....we'll see how it ends up.
Have spent the last week trying to figure out the electrical/computer system.
Did load several hundred songs on a flash drive and have been playing them.
Mine has the17" tires and I do get some noise on certain roads
I keep the rear seats folded down and would like to fine a cover that goes from the hatchback to the back of the front seats.
I turned off the 'engine stop'. Seems to me that it is hard on everything in the system plus I found it annoying.

Looking forward to sharing ideas, comments, and information with the group

 

Welcome to the forum! But we need pictures of your car. Threads are worthless without pictures 😁.

As far as the auto off feature so many new cars have, I also find it very annoying! My boss has a new F150 and he just installed a simple plug in gadget that leaves the auto stop feature in whatever position it was left in last regardless of how many times the truck is started and turned off. It seemed expensive to me at $100 but how much do the parts your wearing out by constantly turning the vehicle on and off cost?? I wonder if they make something similar for the mini 🤔

 

Will try to get some pics....bit cold for that at the moment.

On the engine stop feature: I pushed the 'cancel' feature on the dash (just below the radio) and it has stayed off for the past two weeks. I have probably driven the car 15 different times and it is always off.

 

Well at least they got that right! On the Fords, you have to push the button every time you start the vehicle. Its very annoying.

 

Welcome aboard!

 

So here is Punkin:








I am loving every minute of owning and driving him/her/it

 

 

I don't remember where, but I read somewhere that if the auto-stop feature can stay off, fuel economy is calculated differently (worse) than if you have to turn it off every time you start your car. That's likely why the "feature" doesn't stay off in most vehicles. I'm happy that BMW/Mini took the hit on their economy numbers to give their owners the option if they want to use the feature.
