What you must find out before choosing your BMW mini model.

No matter which MINI model you own, you can find the most trendy and cutest accessories for it from our website.

 

There are so many different types of Mini running on the streets nowadays. Bigger ones, smaller ones, ones with S, ones without, four-door, two-door, hatchback, Johnny Cooper and convertibles. Someone can get really confused. So let me introduce some basic BMW mini models here so you can have a better idea.

Based on the performance, BMW mini can be classified into these categories: One, Cooper, Coopers and JCW cooper, representing MINI with different power levels.

1.Different mainstream engines: 1.6L (naturally aspirated), 1.6T (turbo) in May 2014 launched new mini increased 1.4T / 2.0T engine, but limited to small mini models only, mini clubman models have been discontinued.

2. Mini One as the basic model (commonly known as beggar version) for the 1.6 naturally aspirated low-power version, with 72KW, 153N.M. Mini Cooper with 1.6L and the new 1.6T low power version, respectively with 88KW, 160N.M and 90KW and 190N.M

Mini Cooper with larger power (sports version) as the 1.6T high power version is with 135KW, 240N.M.

JCW JOHN COOPER WORKS is manufactured by MINI designated conversion plant, just like the Mercedes-Benz AMG version, with higher power and better performance.

 

3. From the models of different interior configurations, from the simplest to most luxury one, respectively, One, Fun and Excitement.

MINI can be divided into the following models based on the functional performance:

Common: Mini, Mini Clubman, Mini Countyman (suv), Mini Paceman;

Uncommon: BEACHCOMBER (suv), CLUBVAN, VISION, CABRIO;

Coupe: COUPE, ROADSTER.

  1. Mini which commonly known as small Mini is a two door classical model. Also included ONE, COOPER, COOPERS, INSPIRED BY GOODWOOD and etc.

  1. In 2011, BMW launched Countryman in All4 (full-time four-wheel drive), 4-door, Hatchback, 16.L and 1.6T. Personalized customization should be the biggest selling point for Mini, but there are too many models available sometimes it is very difficult for customers to figure out what the differences are , for example, the difference between Countryman one and 1.6L.

countryman coopers 1.6T

Countryman coopers ALL4 1.6T has two more air intakes (for brake calipers heat releasing).


3.Clubman is available in 2-door, left and right asymmetric door, the right side of a half door, hatchback 1.6L and 1.6L T.


4.Paceman 2 door hatchback has a similar design as Land Rover's Aurora and available in 1.6L and 1.6T.


III. BMW mini R5 *.

The first generation of BMW mini R50 (one, cooper), R52 (convertible) and R53 (coopers) were launched in Sep, 2000.

In August 2006, R56, R55 (clubman), R57 (convertible with soft top), R60 (countryman) were launched.

At the end of 2010, slightly remodeled R56LCI, R55LCI, R57LCI (both are 2-doors) were launched.

In 2011, four SUV COUNTRYMAN (cooper and cooper-s All 4) was launched as R60.

  1. So now we can easily distinguish the different model types based on the above descriptions.

 

    For example, MINI ONE CLUBMAN, the first word MINI is a general brand name applied for all models, the second word ONE represents the car engine which is ONE power level, the third word CLUBMAN, represents the car model.  Note: The internal configuration of the ONE model is only the basic one.

    Another example is the MINI COOPER CLUBMAN Excitement, COOPER represents the power level and the model is CLUBMAN, while the internal configuration is EX level. MINI COOPERS CLUBMAN Fun, COOPER-S is the power level and the model is CLUBMAN, while internal configuration is Fun medium level.

MINI COOPERS Countryman ALL4, COOPERS is the power level and model is Countryman, while ALL4 represents 4WD configuration, internal configuration is EX level.

Making sure you get all the small details for your getaway car is important too. If you want your car to really stand out, a great way to add that extra touch is to also apply flowers or decorations to your door handles. You can keep things simple with a small bouquet or roses, or you can add more drama with beautiful ribboned ones.

You can also get creative with placement to makes things stand out more. Try putting flowers on the roof of your car, or on the side view mirrors. If you want to make your car completely decorated, put flowers in the more conventional places like the hood or trunk of the car, then add even more decorations on the door handles, side mirrors, and roof.

Finally, one of the most important parts of the getaway car is the classic trail of ribbons or bells following behind the car as you drive off to your romantic getaway. Attaching a cute “Just Married” sign is a must have, and attaching it to the car as a temporary license plate is a creative idea that many brides love. You can get really stylish and fun with this.

How to Choose a Steering Wheel Cover

custom steering wheel covers

Steering wheel covers are a great option for any girl who wants to add instant style to her car and keep her car staying fresh and new. When you are looking for a steering wheel cover it is important that you pick one that is both safe and stylish, so before you purchase a steering wheel cover there are a few things you should know so that you can make the best choice.

Get Fitted Custom Steering Wheel Covers

Your steering wheel should fit snuggly on your steering wheel so that it doesn’t move while you are steering. Carsoda.com steering wheel covers can be customized to fit your car’s steering wheel perfectly. Just send us your measurements. To measure you steering wheel, measure around your steering wheel’s outer rim (the circumference) and the width from one side to the other (the diameter). This will help make sure your cover wont be too loose or too tight. If you are not sure what size your steering wheel is, you can check out this sizechart.

Get Most Grip

Luckily for you, all Carsoda steering wheel covers have a lining that provides the most grip possible, so you don’t have to worry about grip when shopping on our site. Having a steering wheel cover with a good grip is great because it ensures that your steering wheel will never slip or slide while you are driving. We care about your safety and we would never want that to happen.

Get Girly Steering Wheel Covers 

The material you choose for your steering wheel cover is more important that you might have thought. Different materials work better for different drivers. Leather is great option for any environment because it has a natural grip and it lasts long. Fabric or furry material is great for anyone who lives in a cold climate, since it wont feel cold in the winter. Keep these details in mind when you are picking a steering wheel cover so that your car is stylish and safe.
