The latest MINI update offers a wide range of customization options that complement the features of the new interior. Users now have the ability to choose from various “experience modes,” which not only change the background and color schemes of the OLED display, but also adjust the LED lighting to match the selected mode. However, this update goes beyond simple aesthetic changes.

There’s now a “personal” mode that allows users to upload a display photo and design their profile based on that image. The display will automatically extract the main colors from the uploaded photo and use them to create the overall theme. This means you can showcase your kids, pets, or even Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas as the central focus of your vehicle without needing any tools or equipment.

MINI has also introduced unique “sound profiles” for each display mode. When switching between the core, go-kart, timeless, and balance driving modes, you can expect to hear different sounds that correspond to each mode. This MINI Sound DNA concept also extends to the experience modes, with each mode featuring a distinct jingle. While this may not be as groundbreaking as the release of a new performance mode, BMW emphasizes the importance of these small touches in creating a unique driving atmosphere, which is an integral part of the MINI experience.
