I bought a 2006 Mini Cooper S yesterday and had no idea how everything worked. Thank you SO much for this fantastic video.

I bought the convertible S a year ago. Most fun car I’ve had in 20 years! Per local guys British cars shop (it’s BMW motor design/parts). Change oil every 6k and rotate tires every 3k. Don’t take it to a generic oil change place, they will screw it all up. Find a local British or German car shop or mechanic that will do it right. Mine has been pretty reliable. Bought with 68k and have 112k on it now. Just replaced the battery (it’s under the rear hatch floor cover) yesterday. Replaced thermostat housing ($640) here in Cali. That’s it! Driven to Vegas and back a couple of times. It’s VERY comfortable. Wife likes traveling in it and so does our little dog. Chose it over a 2 seater Porsche Boxster. Loving it, a year later!

Thank you.... this was VERY helpful. I appreciate you taking the time to make and post this video.

Thanks for the tour. My Mini is a 2008 Sidewalk Convertible. I've had it about a month and I'm still learning my car.

In the glove box to the right of the Aux cable is a knob. If you turn it open it allows cold air from aircon into the glove box to keep it cold like a fridge.

I really appreciated this video. I bought a beautiful, low mileage 2004 S but for some reason the owner didn't include the owner's manual. I could figure out most but not all of the switch gear so this video was very helpful. TY so much for making it.

Thank you for the beautiful quite details vids, two thumbs up.

Thanks! Im about to start driving a similar model and i had no idea what button does what on the steering wheel. This really helped me out!

Thank you I bought my daughter this one and so far you are the only person I found that could explain all of the dashboard. Thank you

Hello, great video, I h e to add one more feature I realised many 1st gen Mini owners don't know, if you shortly push toggle for windows it will go all the way down, same thing for raising them. Further, some Minis have active feature to keep pushed unlock button on your keyfob, it will open all the windows and sunroof. If it is not active in your service you can ask and they will activate it for you. While you there you can ask them to activate also lights to switch off automatically when you switch off car even your leaver remains up in ON position, this is useful feature if you prefer to drive with lights on all the time.

Thank you-1st generation owner and now I understand the buttons. Kudos

An honestly helpful video. Thank you.

Great video! Very thorough!

Thank you Sirr you actually have the best show and for minis.... I have the 2007 premium package and I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to pair my cell to the Car!! Thanks again ❤️❤️❤️💪🏾💪🏾

Brilliant. Thank you so much for this Vehicle. I have an 03 but this was so helpful. I don't have the heated seats, obviously, but most of the other stuff were the same.

I just bought an 08 Mini Base and there is some overlap on your car so that was helpful. However, an owners manual did not come with the car and it's as if the Mini is a list of gadgets with a car built around it. I think I will be discovering controls years from now (assuming it lasts that long). I don't have the advanced stereo but do have the bluetooth. I originally came to look for a tutorial for the little joystick in the center console that controls the nav computer and other stuff I'm not sure what it is. However, despite your car not having that a lot of the controls especially on the steering column were helpful. If anyone is aware of a video that goes over the bluetooth/nav computer for an 08 that would be helpful as well. Thanks for your vid.

Funny how skipped "EML" light on...that was the main reason I clicked on this video

Nice and very helpful. Forget the boot though 😀 pedals 😁 looking to buy some point soon ty for the heads up without looking silly when looking

Thank you for this informative content!

I've got to sit my driving test tomorrow in the same car. I was freaking out about remembering where everything is in the car. I'm relaxed now, one less thing to worry about. If I pass tomorrow I'll pop you a tip as my problem was I'd get flustered and look in the wrong place for the window buttons etc. Cheers mate

Hi, I have 2003 mini cooper. Just wondering how to setting the dash to show the actual current speed on the digital (now showing Ave. Speed at the moment)

Hello, I purchased a paceman s 2015 about 4 months ago. How do I know if the service indicators are correct. I only noticed recently, when I first put the key fob in, start the car, it shows service with a -5000, but I don't recall seeing this when I first purchased the vehicle. I recently had an oil change and I am wondering if the tech set the service information incorrectly, or does the computer on the vehicle automatically reset itself? I did not get an owner's manual with the vehicle,but I downloaded one from online which is a countryman/paceman combo manual. Several features on the paceman are not in the manual, like do I have a factory alarm on the car. When I use the key fob to lock the car, I don't hear the little beep sound when most people hear when they remotely lock their vehicle, that's one thing. Another thing is there's like a little rectangular, red color, I think liight on top of the tachometer and I have no idea what its for, it doesn't light up and i'm not sure whether it is a light or not. There is also what appears to look like a camera lens on the backside of the rear view mirror but i'm not sure what it's for either, I thought maybe it was the garage door opener feature, but there are no buttons on the mirror anywhere to activate!!! , that's just a few of my unknowns, can you help?

Thank you very much. I have also the same auto but i didn’t know well all the things but now i realized what those meaning especially bonet open. 👍

At the passenger side down to the feet on the left side what is the cover components and it function thanks

Yes loved the video it was very helpful I just purchased an 05 Cooper love it but didn't have a Manuel !

Thanks for the video

Thanks was wondering what the dash dim button was for. Where it's put makes you think it's gonna be for something important, not something I'll probably never use.

Once I change my oil, how do I reset or erase the “need service soon light” in my 2005 Mini Cooper not the S model. The big and small round gages look just like your! I loved your instructional instruments panel video!👍

There is a recall for the passenger seat weight switch that causes the light to turn on. I had the dealership replace it, they do it for free. The light stayed on, they said it wont turn off. Kinda lame, I didn't like it but it's worth finding out about your daughters. I'd be interested to know if they replace it and your light turns off. Hope that helps!
