I would love to hear from members about the features that were not ordered and the ones that were. In other words if you could do it again, what items would you have done without and which ones would you have added?

 

JCW, but i didn't order mine, just got it off the line

 

Lsd

 

If I had the OK from my wife to spend extra on extras? I would have definately added Navigation, Chrome, and possibly upgraded to the S although I think I will be happy with the Cooper.

 

I want new wheels, but I can't afford them. I don't think MINI has 16x7s anyway.

 

A sunroof, I really, really want one.

 

A clear bra!!!! At the time, I thought that it was some overpriced BS dealership option to maximize their incoming cash flow, much like the $300+ Scotch-Guarding that costs the dealership $3 for the can.

While I still think the clear bra is a bit overpriced, it absolutely makes a difference. My bonnet is so dinged up now (78,000 mi.), the only way to make it look presentable again is to repaint it.


-Paul!

 

Better rims/tires, sport seats and crono pkg.

 

Being in Minnesota, I kinda wished I would have sprung for the Cold weather package, but I doubt if that would help you much down in Florida!!

The JCWorks kit is great though!!!

 

Ejector Seat
Front Machine Guns

 

I would have bought the "S" with Navigation, chrome, and the aero kit!

 

Just got the back ones huh?


I would have ordered the Chrono Pack, Sport Seats and Bonnet Stripes. Because I didn't, I'm having to buy them all one by one.

 

The Webspoke wheels.

 

if I had extra money laying around,
- JCW air intake
- webspoke wheels or something similar

 

clear bra, heated seats, english leather.

 

If it's a Cooper, definitely get the sport seats and sport suspension. Sport package - not the greatest wheels and tires, you are better off aftermarket. Also if a Cooper, lose weight, ie. avoid the sunroof.

 

LSD


I could do without the auto headlights, but since they are bundled with the auto wipers (which I love) I'd get them over again

 

I wish I got the rear fog lamp. It would make my toggle switches complete, but other than that I love my car!

Medic

 

I also wish I had got the rear fogs. But I will just have to get it from Classic.

And LSD, should I get into autocross.

 

We like ours just how we ordered them.

However, mine was one of the early Cabrios and couldn't get the rear fog. Would have liked to have that. Also, those English Leather seats are awesome! Those were not available at the time we bought either one of our MINIs..

Donna

 

Definitely the Auto Dim rear view mirror with Home Link. I always seem to miss place the remote.

 

JCW and Rear Fog, that blank spot just ain't right!

 

Between springing for the S & getting a convertible, I spent enough, but I do wish I had gotten something to rate a full toggle bank and the interior chrome package looks SOOOOOO good. Oh, yeah, clear bra.

 

Chrono Pkg, I never look at the center speedo, and now all I have for speed is the little digital read-out on the OBC display. Wish my speedo was up next to the tach where "god" intended them all to be...
