Has anyone got a new Mini Cooper SE? I have ordered one for my wife to replace her Cooper S. The reviews are good and the range for the SE is a big improvement over the previous Mini electric.

Wondering the same as ours is on order too - apparently the ship has now docked and it's receiving some kind of update before being released to the dealer. That's what we're being told anyway. Maybe it fell off the transporter and is being repaired....

Have pencilled in picking it up in the next couple of weeks. Will report back.

Yes, picked ours up about four+ weeks ago now (Cooper SE Sport) and very pleased with it.

It’s efficient enough (showing 4.3m/KWh), nippy enough for daily use (mixed Local, B roads and London commute), well equipped (ours is Level 2) and looks better put together than the last Cooper (ICE) we had 5+ years ago. Pleased with the sound system, visibility, comfortable and supportive seats and general fit and finish.

Having had a few BEV’s now (Tesla M3P, MY, Audi Enron 55, BMW Xi 50 and BMW i3S) we are enjoying this one as much, if not more than others for our current use case. Given its origins it’s no surprise there is much of the iX and i3S in the Mini.

Range is showing over c240 miles on full charge which is more than adequate for us as it’s not our main vehicle and means I don’t have to plug it in every day of use. Lots of AC use and GoKart mode use in the last month so not driving for efficiency. According to the App the ‘community’ is getting 22.4KWh/100m efficiency and we are about 7% worse than that.

The dealer has told me that once the ship docks it goes to another facility to be converted to UK spec, not sure what this involves.

Great to know, we have ordered an exclusive with the level 2 pack.
