In a move worthy of MMC itself, I had a phone call from my dealer yesterday telling me I couldn't collect my Mini Electric tomorrow as BMW has issued a "Delivery stop" on all electric vehicles. No reason given or timescale for resolution was given, but the Mini EV forums seem to think it's something to do with the app connection and SOS function.

But in the meantime, now that I have the VIN of my car, I was able to download the operator's manual, which is proving to be quite a source of entertainment, for example:

To help you evolve an efficient driving style, BMW offer a "Minimalism Analyser" which you can switch on if you want and displays on the centre 8.8" telly screen

Blimey.
