How to lower spare on 2015 & newer

I have a 2019 Mini 2 door ordered and want a spare. Buying the parts / want to understand how to lower the spare on the 2015 and newer Mini,s

2015 & newer ARE different than older Mini’s

I have an 2007 and understand the basic’s of lowering the spare.

the 2015 & newer models do NOT have the clip/spring to realease and lower the spare.

was at the dealer yestday and looked at a 2015 / read the owners manual but did not see any info on the spare. Someone here has to know

google was no help

I have pictures of the new set up but this forum is not allowing me to upload pictures??

anyone have the answer?

thanks

Thank You,,, that is Exacty what I have been looking for... at the dealer and reading the book.,,, that book did NOT have this info... with out it,, I dont think I would have figured the plate was the tool to drop the tire and the lug wrench was the tool to screw into the bolt... LOL... again,, thanks.
