Driving Excitement - Dangerous Cornering!!!

I have fun playing with the Mini Connected apps like driving excitement - though very often on relatively mild corners or freeway on-ramps I get the "dangerous cornering" message.

That and the "Heavy Braking - Only in Emergency Please" .... LOL

If I drive mellow enough to avoid these it is very, very tame - contrary to what a Mini is known for!

I guess the lawyers must have warned them to program it for very conservative maneuvers!

hah, I'm still in break-in on my new R58 so I've only got a couple of "safe cornering" messages when playing with the Driving Excitement Analyzer. I haven't even turned on the sport button yet, it's too tempting/easy to get higher into the rev range when I do....
