Just bought a 2014 Mini Cooper Clubman and I absolutely love it...I have been driving BMWs for many years and I still own one but for my daily driver I bought a Clubman...The car is so fun to drive, I love it so much

I purchased it fully loaded except for the rear parking cameras other than that its pretty much loaded. I didnt get the S model as turbos are too for a daily driver. I program and code BMWs so getting this car was a perfect match!...I have already coded the key fob to close the windows, seatbelt chime removed and Video in motion as well as removing the legal disclaimer, plus a couple of more things...I already got the video on the idrive screen to mirror the iphone and coded it to work while car is in motion...

I have read the Clubman will not longer be produced and the Mini Cooper 4 door will takes it place. I am glad I got the last productions of it!!


I also just updated my Navigation maps to 2015! Cost me a fraction of what it would cost normally

 

Hope you enjoy the Mini. I have a 2011 Clubman and wish I knew how or someone who could do some of the reprograming for me. I have tried to hook up fog lights ( replaced the DRLs with a fog light that had angel eyes) and I cannot figure out how to hook them up where they are controlled by the ignition switch. Currently they are hooked directly to the battery which means if I forget them they run the battery down.

Anyway enjoy the Mini. I have over 50,000 miles on mine and have not had any real issues .

 

Run them off of the 12v Cigar lighter in the center console. Pop the console off, and power them from the underside.



BTW - OP Nice car! I love mine, IMHO the Clubby is the "best of everything" that little bit of extra room helps greatly.

Plus its a sharp design that you don't see every day!

 

Yes I agree. The Clubman is the best of the bunch. It's so unique and looks great. I think Mini decision to get rid of the platform and make a 4 door replacement is not too wise but I guess it's all about the numbers.

 

Welcome!

I feel like ive seen your username around e90post.

i just picked up an 08 cooper S and love how their are similar things that are shared with bmw.

Also some of the most fun I've had driving ever. It's true what people say abotu how these cars handle.

 

Hey, what software do you have? I need to have the satnav updated on my 2012 Clubman S. I too are or were over on e90post.

 

After 8 months of owning my Clubman I am still loving it more and more each day..I finally did my first exterior modification...I painted the center grills to match the body paint! It looks awesome..

 

Nice!

 

Thanks! Painting that center grill Chilli Red made the appearance more sportier IMO. Well worth the money I spent. The modification bug is growing strong!!!

 

Looks good with the grille painted.

 

I painted the lower chrome trim on the bottom portion of the bumper to match the upper grills! I washed and waxed it and also updated my navigation maps to 2016 North America Move maps from a Vendor on this forum MiniNavPro!!

 

I did the same update as you. Version 112244010 but I did not notice anything different in the maps.

 

I really like this Clubman! Do you still drive it these years later?

 

Did you use Carly to make the radio mirror your iPhone and play while driving ?
