New 2012 R57 owner. Missed having a convertible after having a Miata and a Z3. Bought the S to have the sporty little car like I had. Cannot believe this has no water temp or oil pressure gauge-instead some worthless top down time guage-Mini looking like VW Beetle with it's little trinkets. Is the scanguage working for guage replacement for others?

 

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your new MINI. Pictures are always a great way for all to know what color and stuff your car is.
Gages have been discussed several time here so just do a search and there is tons of info.
It is wrong that the gen 2 cars have only lights. I went with the Garman dongle and GPS which is the easiest way.

 

You must have drove it before you bought it so it's not like it was a surprise right? All Mini's are like that. Run with it.

By the way until you post pics of your car it only exists in your mind only.
