@pictsidhe6471 Год назад

Everyone is surprised when they find out that mine is electric. It is an ICE mini with an EV powertrain stuffed in wherever it would fit. Next model will be a dedicated EV design, with an ICE shaped body. You need to drive an SE to truly appreciate it. It is perhaps the best 2 seat commuter and city EV car. Not everyone wants to drive a bus. Not everyone does many long trips. Don't forget this is European, where roads are smaller...

@lm971120 Год назад

As someone in the UK I am also aware that plastic manifold of the KV6 engine Sandy showed off being an issue on some KV6 equipped cars, esp as they age. Some owners were surprised to learn they even won awards for changing this to the plastic part… (of course they blamed BMW/Rover, so did I, now I know who that genius was…😂). Hopefully they were not the people who advised Rover in cost cutting measures for smaller K series engines, as ‘cost saving measures’ on these essentially caused loads of premature head gaskets failures, trashed the brand(s), and even lawsuit (but Rover went under partly due to this)…

@donswier 2 года назад

Bought a (used) 2017 i3REx based on Sandy's teardown in 2014. Thankfully it's been dead reliable for 25k miles, and the range extender means ZERO anxiety from the inconsistent public charging network (other than Tesla). 21 gallons of gas was used for 25k miles. Too bad BMW didn't just invest more in the innovative i3.

@GreenvilleGuy 2 года назад

I don’t know if Sandy is aware that the SE is manufactured in Oxford on the same production line with the ICE versions, so EV components under the hood make sense for efficiency of manufacturing. It could be that BMW’s EV Mini plant being planned for China will build a ground-up designed EV. I’m not sure if that has been verified yet, though. The Mini SE is targeted for city dwellers and for people looking for a sporty EV that might be a second car in their household, with larger cars used for road trips. In the US, after the $7,500 tax credit, it is among the cheapest EV alternatives in the market right now if you buy the lowest trim. For people who don’t care about the lack of a frunk, or where the EV components have been stuffed, it’s at good value.

@motorv8N 2 года назад

Exactly - instead of all the frothing, foaming and stammering Sandy, how about a considered discussion of what could have been done differently considering the how, why and where it’s being built. I’ve enjoyed all of his reviews immensely except for this one. Likely because I was considering buying the car and was really interested in some useful content. Ah well, bought one anyway and we’re enjoying it hugely. Perfectly suits the mission of a 60-100km/day commute plus errands in an attractive package that is fun to toss about a bit, scoots pretty well, and best of all, doesn’t cost a fortune, look like a spaceship or both. I’m just hoping enough of the unreliable crap BMW seems to specialize in these days has been replaced with simpler more reliable hardware...

I can almost understand the Mini not having a frunk because it's an ICE platform converted to EV. No excuse for the VW ID.4 not having a frunk since it was a ground up EV platform.

@agemmm 2 года назад

If it's an ICE platform that doesn't matter. Audi E-Tron (VW Group) has a frunk, Polestar 2 has a frunk, Volvo XC40 has a frunk, etc.. The PPE platform (Audi/VW Group) will have a frunk (Audi A6 e-tron, Q6 e-tron, Porsche Macan EV and so on) because they will have a longer hood. I don't think you will find an EV small as the Mini with a frunk. Not even in China.

Except the iD.4 is BUILT NEW from the GROUND up as a GAS car...........LOL. VW just Shoehorned in a BEV Drivetrain.

@@markplott4820 Check the ID.3 how long the hood is. That's a real EV that has a huge greenhouse. EVs with a long hood and frunks are just trying to look like ICE vehicles like the Audi E-Tron.

@rolla2035 2 года назад

ID 4 doesn't have a frunk because the hood is very short. Better visibility and wheels are closer to the edge. They could have done a frunk if they wanted but decided a shorter hood was better. Most people don't use the frunk anyway.

@markplott4820 2 года назад

@@rolla2035 - NOPE, VW does not understand BEV or electric DRIVETRAIN. the iD.4 was designed to be a GROUND up ICEV that could take gas, Diesel , FCV, and Hybrid Drivetrain. adding BEV Drivetrain was an afterthought. It was shoehorn in to fit in a ICEV car design. this is a FACT, and VW has Admitted it designed iD3 and iD4 as ICEV.

@MrVaticanRag 2 года назад

My first Mini was one of the first off the production line, a 4 year old 1959 Morris Mini made from 26 gauge steel. (Not long after that they used 22 gauge steel which I believe added 25kg to its mass). It was rallied to death 10 years later. My last mini was a 1976 Mini Cooper S with a Downton Rally conversion.

It got about 30 miles to the Imperial gallon, which I never considered enough for a car that small, but it was fun to drive and got attention even then.

To me it looks like the electric drive train is designed to substitute an ICE one at the latest possible moment on the production line. That way they can roll-up a mostly completed shell and then push up and fasten the mostly completed type of drive train as required. Isn't that what they were going for here Sandy? But yeah, as he said in the Kia, it's a wasted opportunity for a car and the volume inside, they should have been a little more inventive.
