Any cup holder recs for 2013 R56?

Post image
1 Upvotes

I’ve searched but don’t really trust any so far - I really need a cup holder situation for my 2013 Mini Cooper S. Even if a cup fits, it falls cause the cup holders are so shallow. Also, the stick always gets in the way, presses the heated seat button etc. Generally throws me into a fit a rage LOL.

I’m imagining something to insert that puts the cup to the right of the console. Any suggestions from the group? Don’t mind how disgusting my car is right now. 🫣

HP increase myth?

0 Upvotes

I heard on a video there is a simple spring that can be removed to add more hp. Not much but some? Is this a thing?

Also is it bad to remove the fresh air flow hose and resonator?

Mini cooper SE 2023 Steering

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I'm driving a mini Cooper se 2023. Totally obsessed with it since day one. Recently I experienced an issue with the steering wheel feedback. Sometimes while turning I get slight vibrations. Always while the car is completely stopped. If the car is moving the vibrations are really really small.

Did anybody experience something similar?

Central speedometer problems r56

Post image
1 Upvotes

I recently had to remove the shroud over the speedometer in my 2011 R56 to fix an issue with the aux port. While fitting the shroud I must have shaken the speedometer, because the needle dropped below zero. The speedometer still works, but I like it to be at zero. Does anybody know a fix for this?

I also noticed that the central speedometer is way of. When driving at 140 kp/h the speedometer reads in the neighbourhood of 160 kp/h. I have another R56 and it recently drove that one at 160 kp/h and the central speedometer read 165-170. Is this just something you’re lucky with or is there a fix?

R56S Preventative Maintenance

2 Upvotes

R56S Auto, 2012 with 39,000 miles - What should I be on the lookout for? My understanding is that the timing chain guides are better on the motors after 2011, at least the recall seems to suggest that. It's low miles, but over 10 years old now - is that part miles limited, time limited, or both? Oil changes every 5k, and level checks are every fill-up. Want to keep it going nicely, the new ones just don't do it for me - what's the best way to keep it from a catastrophic failure?

Exhaust wrap on downpipe?

0 Upvotes

I just ordered a catless downpipe from milltek for my r56, and I was wondering if it would be worth it to wrap it in exhaust wrap? I don’t know how much of a difference it would make if any. Let me know!

So here's a random one...Counter weights.

I went outside this morning and noticed what looked like a counter weight laying on the driveway. I went to inspect my wheels and sure enough, some of these have started to fall off. Now, it may be a silly question, but does losing these things mean, or will cause, any issue?

2017 Mini Cooper Convertable

Hi everyone!!! I'm thinking of getting a 2017 Mini Convertable 2D, it's sooo cute. My only concern is the soft top in the snow, does anyone have any experience with this? I don't live somewhere that snows a ton, usually melts in a day, but we are coming up on some snowy months here soon... Thoughts? If you have this model please sound off below I'm looking forward to joining the club!!
