Hi all. Years ago I had a chili red r56, funnest car I ever owned. Sold it, raised the kids, now heartbroken to part with my still beautiful 2002 E46 but I’m old now and need more airbags and technology. I’m looking at a 2020 Countryman S with 45,000 miles, all black, I love the pictures, can’t wait to drive it. I have questions.

-do the washer fluid spray streams still come out in a single stream or does it fan yet? haha I’m still traumatized by those things

-what exactly is Mini Connected and is Navigation part of it (with subscription)?

-is Car Play part of the standard communication install or is it not included in this year model or does it depend on the trim package? I don’t care too much for the hardness of the more square bodies as the years go on but I want Car Play, so this one’s kind of the deal breaker on the year I get.

-also the one I’m test driving has a JCW steering wheel, is that indicative of the package or maybe just an aftermarket install?

-last, what is the audio theft deterrent? Is that a recorded voice screaming to step away from the vehicle or is it an actual “alarm”? There’s no panic button on the keys so not sure 🤷🏼‍♀️

Lots of questions, thank you in advance if you care to reply…happy motoring!
