MINI’s OS 9 operating system marks a significant evolution for the MINI Cooper and MINI Countryman. One of its most notable updates is the all-new Personal Experience feature, allowing for unprecedented levels of customization. In this video, we provide a first look at its features and how to use them.

As we’ve reported over the past year, the new MINI models introduce “MINI Experience Modes,” designed to enhance the in-cabin atmosphere and even adjust certain driving characteristics. Modes like Core, Green, and Go-Kart each feature unique user interface designs, creating distinct vibes for drivers. By combining light and sound, these modes aim to elevate the overall driving experience. The new Personal Mode takes this concept even further by enabling drivers to incorporate their own photos and personalized color schemes into the mix.
