M/F Steering wheel?

Just curious to know current owners experiences? I have this feature in my current car and on occasion I hit the volume or track button while I'm driving by accident. This can get annoying, but it's still a nice feature to have. I know the M/F steering wheel is a little different in the MINI since the buttons aren't push/press style. Not sure I'd forgo the M/F option; trying to decide.

If you forgo the MFW you are also forgoing the cruise control.

Are you doing the bluetooth? You need the MFW.

What I've found is that if I haven't hit any buttons in a while, the first press won't register. Not sure if it's supposed to be like this, but at least you won't accidentally change the track or something.

Unless you usually wear those Mickey Mouse souvenir hands or have Parkinsons, you should be fine.






Attention sensitive readers. I had a close relative with Parkinson's who taught me to laugh about life's struggles. So I can make that joke. I also personally know Mickey Mouse.

that might very well be true, but I have huge hands and I am offended

Someone needs to call the dealer Friday and ask the cost of upgrading to MFSW.
For $250 I HAD to have it at build time.

Sneaky BMW always gave me a super loaner when I brought mine in.
The loaners had great features, like MFSW.
