R55 2014 R55 must have options

That said, it still makes xenon lamps a must have from the factory IMO. The after the fact xenons will be fine, and still a real step up from the halogen reflectors, but you still want the fully-featured lamps ordered from the factory in the first place. Especially since the option price is a bit of a steal.

I wished I bought with xenon but all the models on the lot also came with other options I did not want and drove the price over what I wanted and the $1500 off the showroom floor model sold me. Only option I got was auto, I've outgrown my shifting days in traffic long ago, and fancy wheels. But the factory options with the S are nice, keyless, fog lights, rear defrost, I like the fuax leather seats.
My current loaner is paceman that has $41K MSRP , $15K in options. I can say I dislike the speedo, nav package, to cumbersome, I use my Iphone.
The xenons kick but, prefer a rear camera not doppler radar. Never use the sun roof or heated seats, the premium stereo does rock hard, speakers under the seats too. Folding mirror nice on big truck, not needed on MINI.

Fun thread to read everyone's reaction to options packages. I agree that the car stands alone on the driving, but... Nice to enjoy the extras. I bought mine off the lot and got every possible option, save navigation. In this, I gave up the Turbo, concept. I would have had to wait for months back in 2008. As time goes by I'm ok with that, and love the options that came packaged with it, even the anthracite headliner above and the chrome lined dash. I even had the shifter and handbrake leather done to match the hot choc interior. I'm a huge fan of the convenience package having some challenges with dexterity. It can be a life saver, or a real help. Bixenon lights, and fog lights to fill in all my toggle switch slots is a 'must' . I also bought the dog cargo liner and Clubman carpets. Oh, and the woody cover!
