How to Manually Shift a F66 MINI Cooper & U25 Countryman Without Shift Paddles

[@irfaanabdool7983]

Finally! I've been trying for 2 weeks😂 Thank you

I - I dont know how to feel lol from a diagnostic perspective, that is cool, but from an actual wanting to use paddle shifters perspective, I think I'll just wait for the new 2dr JCW 😅

And how do you go back to auto mode once you’re underway? Can you switch back on the fly?

[@andrewb293]

Does this work on BMW models with the same gearbox. ???

[@MotoringFile]

Yes.

[@QahwaRoastery]

What (l) button does different from d button?

[@phased3941]

I read the title and assumed a manual car, and boy was i disapointed ahah

[@MotoringFile]

Understandable

This doesn’t work on my UK 2025 spec MIni Cooper.

I was depressed when I saw this. It's one thing if you at least allow it on the gear selector but there is no selector anymore. Not to mention, BMW literally used the cheapest plastics possible throughout the entire interior. They didn't even try to hide it. It. Is. EVERYWHERE you touch, if it's not scratchy upholstery otherwise like on the dash, ala 2008 Chevy Cruze

From a month of experience in owning a 2025 Mini, those scroll buttons on the steering suck to use. Small, feels cheap, and hard to use while actually driving the car.

Man, that really sucks

[@MotoringFile]

It’s certainly not the best experience we can confirm. But it proves there is a way.

[@nickcheema907]

[@Wolfox360]

Maybe to go downhill
