All the toggle switches!!!

Yes, you read that correctly! Today I sat in the R57 at Bill Jacobs MINI and one thing I noticed was that the R57 has ALL the TOGGLE SWITCHES in the center stack! There is now an express windows down switch along with the standard left, right windows. The lock one is in there too! The last one is the fog light switch. It is a dual function switch! Up for one and down for the other!!! No more holes in the switch panel.

So by "Express Windows Down Switch, does it lower all four windows down, or just the two front windows?

And I guess if you purchase an R57 without the rear fog light, that switch only toggles one way, as the other way would be for the rear fog light?

In previous years, all the holes would be filled if you ordered all the options that required toggle switches.

This IS true however MOST dealer configured cars do not have the rear fog light and that leaves a blank spot on the R56 and R55 panel.

I sat in that MINI yesterday too.

Yes, the express toggle controls all four windows simultaneously. It's the second lower toggle from the left in the following pic:



Oh, and don't forget there are MORE toggles above the rear view mirror!

Here's a few other pics I posted in our club forum in case you're interested:

As if you needed another reason to pop for the rear fog light!
