Cool -- if it is the Flux-capaciter I'd think I'll to go back to 1969 and scare the beegeebers out of Classic mini owners.
I'd love hear what they would say about how the R56 has spoiled the pedigree!

It is indeed the alarm indicator. It pulses slowly for the first 16 minutes after locking the car, then pulses using less LED's and at a faster rate after this. It is seriously cool. Makes the car seem alive evn when parked.

Hmmm, I wonder if it could be rewired with a switch so that you could light it up - continuously - at will. Could come in handy for getting those dumb-***** out of the left lane at night when you want to pass.
