On Board Computer (Fuel Consumption, Range, etc)

Hey All,

I just bought a 2012 model R58 Cooper S, however when I press the BC **** I cannot see the following information:-

Fuel Consumption Avg
Fuel Consumption Real-time
Range
etc

Is there anyways to wake up the menu? Hope someone can help, feeling really frustrated.

Thanks,
HK_MCS

Maybe locked out , what country are you in ? Are you pressing the end of the stock while the car is running ?

Hey Mate,

The car is in Hong Kong, the "very useful" user manual said I can scroll through with the BC button.

Yes I am pressing end of the stick while the car is running, I used to drive a R53 JCW, which I can scroll through the manual with that button.

Feeling quite confused, anyone have the problems?

Thanks in advances.

Hello ,

Ok, in other countries that dont always get all the US option. does not happen much.

Its the end stalk on the left hand side. I would call your local MINI dealership and see what those cars came programmed with or if it was a dealership flashed option.

Check your spec sheet - These things are included with the "On Board Computer" option (550 is the code, I think), which isn't always standard outside the US. Without it, you will not get the distance to empty, fuel economy, etc.

Thank you very much, I have asked BMW/MINI about the situation. They said it was program for it...but they can reprogram it for a ridiculous price. I wonder if I can unlock these somehow by myself.

Now I have some problems with the roof wing rattling, I thought 2nd Gen is better but seems like it is the same as my R53. Anyone had this rattling before?
