Yes please, I’m never one to turn down free cake
What time are we meeting in Kirkcaldy on Sunday?
We’re not meeting in Kirkcaldy, it’s Glasgow for your slot and then heading to Kirkcaldy
I've not booked a slot but I've filled in the first form, would be lazy not to pop down & catch up seeing as I'm only 10 minutes away :thumbs up:
Will be good to see you CrombersQuote:

Dropped a clanger (in discussion with William) looking for a gearbox in the demo car ....... doh!!
Thanks to everyone who came along today. Such a great day put on by MINI & Harry Fairbairn. The SE is certainly lovely and looking forward to how MINI develop it across the rest of the range.
Great day out and a level 1 Would suit just fine :thumbs up:
Level 1 certainly comes with plenty of kit and would be the lebel
I went for.
Thanks so much for coming to the event yesterday everyone!
I hope you all had a fantastic day and I am sure the MINI SE lived up to expectations.
Glad to see you all seemed to have enjoyed the buffet too...
Is 'Level 1' the confirmed spec-level names, or is it just a working title at the moment? Seems strangely unimaginative for Mini to call spec levels something so simple, instead of luxury/comfort/sport or whatever.
Need to get along to see this sometime
A great time was had ( and eaten) by all:yes nod:Quote:

Really enjoyed it myself - the guys from MINI seemed really knowledgable which I’ve often found not to be the case before when it comes to people that work for car brands.
I like the SE a lot more than I thought I would even though it will be a few more years before there’s enough range in it for me.
It was a great day had by all David. Thank you to everyone involvedQuote:

I'm going to guess he means the Technical Service Bulletins which we don't get on the forum. Not sure how available they are outside BMW/MINI. Could be wrong though [emoji2371]Quote:

Here are links to the 3 levels that will be offered:

https://mini-lp-live.s3.amazonaws.co...read+V2+Pt.pdf
These levels are fixed. All you can change are colours and wheels. So, if you want Level 2 plus HK or sunroof, you have to go for Level 3. Also, if you want any shade of blue, apart from Enigmatic Black (which is more black than blue), you're out of luck.
Seemingly, the reasoning is they don't want people speccing weird cars and then cancelling them in March, leaving Mini with some potentially difficult to sell vehicles.
All specs are here:

I’ve no imminent plans to buy an e-car but one thing that is letting them down is the severe lack of “on-the-road” charging points.Quote:

The Government has never had to pay for the building of petrol stations as far as I’m aware.

Mini have missed a trick, surly they could have matched the petrol S variant if not beaten it on the 0-62 front. Granted I know the Car has a disappointing non-temperature managed battery pack of only 32kWh usable and the i3 drivetrain. They could probably match the petrol works 0-62 but the hit on range might be scary but given the price of level 2 and 3 a performance upgrade would have been nice.
They had the MINI E driving around California a decade ago under a invitation public lease scheme and by the looks of it comparing what was on offer back then they locked the development team in the fridge. MINI/BMW i3/ i8 and other hybrids in the range is commendable and should have provided a base but at 2020 the group looks like a rabbit caught in the headlights of the oncoming EV switch a decade before they thought.
Always nice to see another MINI model but at £30k level 3 SE with its 32kWh pack with 140 miles ( probably 100-120 real world) shows how far behind the group is on everything. Does it has preheating off an app and connectivity that has become the norm. At £30k for the highest trim the SE makes the entry level model 3 look a steal. It’s like comparing a Vulcan Bomber to a B-2 stealth. Although the MINI SE I bet will still feel MINI on the twisting roads and that after all is what most of us want to other brands. My view hasn’t changed that I think they will knock it out the park with the second generation built and designed as a EV from the ground up.
Don’t get me wrong the HF preview was well done and the guy actually had a clue what he was talking about and that was refreshing so hats off for that.
