VIN last 5 digits
If you need to find out last 5 digits of your car VIN number and your car is bluetooth equipped, you can go into Bluetooth settings and the name of your Bluetooth will be there as "MINIxxxxx", where xxxxx are last 5 digits of the VIN number.

awesome thread!!! i get my daily "Mini fix" from here !!!
When ur on an incline with foot on the brake, when u get off the brake, the car does not roll back, the brake stays on for a fraction of a second giving you time to get the car into gear. I used to own a bimmer, when u release the brake and the fraction of a second before u let go off the clutch, the car starts to roll back. Not on my Mini.
That's the BEST feature on the Mini!!!!!

OK, folks... your assignment tonight is to find the VERY secret key hiding place for when you go jogging, or streaking (e.g., no pockets). Tip, it's not in your manual, but if you go to your MINI Owners' Lounge, you can find the answer.
That's probably a secret in itself, you didn't know there was a MINI Owners' Lounge right?

Go thru the "menu" on the radio till you see phone -I'm not in my car now but you'll figure it out. Did you get an extra small booklet with your owners manual? Check it out-see what you can find

With my 07 with comfort access if I lock the car using the metal key and leave the fob out of sight in the car it won't unlock with the buttons on the door handles.
