Welcome.

Standard and optional in some parts of Europe for MINI. Its Genuine European MINI so its factory for other parts of the world.


Thanks for the update, you will have some drop top fun. Hopefully the weather will be warmer here soon so i can drop mine on the R52 Convertible.


Congrats again.

 

Hola fellow 2016 Mini Convertible F57 folks-
Since there is not a dedicated thread for the new F57 as of yet, I thought posting here would be best.
One of the most wonderful things I got for my last convertible (R57) was the SmartTOP module which allows much more flexibility & options when opening/closing top & windows- especially great was the one-touch feature wherein you could just hit the switch either on the remote or the console & the top would go up or down without you having to hold it the whole time. Really makes a world of difference & I miss it the most on my new F57.
Luckily the wonderful folks at mods4cars want to make one for the F57 but they need a car to work on to be able to do it. I spoke to a great guy over there by the name of Stefan who said if someone would loan them a car to check out, they’d be able to make a new module & of course this lucky person would be compensated with a FREE module of their own for their help in the process. Pretty good deal! Unfortunately, I myself am on the East Coast & these cats are on the West, so they’re looking for someone in the area (L.A., San Diego, Phoenix, Vegas, etc.) who will help them figure out the new style.
Please PM me with your contact info. if you’re interested & I will put them in touch with you lickety-split. But do so fast because I can’t wait to buy mine & I’m sure there’s going to be a lot of interest, so first come, first served as it were.
By the way, Stefan just told me they had a Corvette in & whilst the guy hung on the strip, they creatd a module & he went home with it that very weekend!
Thanks everyone & hope yer enjoying yer new F57’s as much as I’m diggin’ mine (which is absolutely the most!).
Be well & be good.

 

I just saw a commercial on Velocity for the 2017. They claim it has even more interior room. I also see in the build your own on Mini's site, I can now build out my JCW Ragtop!

After some reearch it seems thast the Steptronic Auto is actually FASTER than the manual! WOW!

I see a JCW Convertible in my future....

 

Hello,

I know this is an older thread but I have some questions about the Euro mirrors with blind spot warning capability:

Are the mirrors OEM Mini European parts?

I could not tell from the video how they actually work. Do they flash a warning icon of some type? Is there a corresponding warning sound?

How can I confirm whether my existing mirrors are auto dimming ones? It’s a 2021 JCW convertible. The do dip and I believe they may be heated as well. I bought the car used, so I don’t have access to the original delivery sticker listing its features. Thank you for any information you can provide.
