Had no idea the dealer sold them. No pics needed, i was just curious, but if you could provide the prices and part numbers, that'd be awesome

It is a MINI R56 steering wheel that has been modified by a company called AutoCarbon in Germany. They take the core and strip it and rebuild it to their specifications. The leather and Alcantara suede are handstitched. It takes them 16 hours to complete one steering wheel.

Ha Ha Ha, that's so true it's funny! It may be one of those items that if you have to ask, (you) (we) (I) can't afford it! Damn nice wheel.

Unplugged my brake wear sensors, clipped them and spliced them together. Pads are fine, must've been faulty sensors. Hopefully the brake light stays off now.

Just purchased a tail light tint kit from OM, along with tint for the reflective side markers on the front and rear side fenders. Let the blackout process continue!

You should do the mileage calibration (I did 6 miles instead of the suggested 1 mile), AND THEN the gas calibration. I did a couple of fill-ups instead of just one as well.
I still get "Miles left to empty" variances between the car and the ultra.

Nice tints. I notices your taillight rings are black while your headlight rings are chrome. Are you in the middle of a blackout process?
