Black Conical Spoke with Sport Package on 2011 MCS?

Hi NAM members,

I am new here!

I am looking to order a 2011 MCS with the following options,

Pepper White
Black Roof/Mirrors
6-Speed Automatic (Sorry, this is UNAVOIDABLE)
Anthracite Headliner (to avoid the standard beige headliner on 2011 models)
Cold Weather Package (Is it an option to order just the Heated Seats instead of ZCW for 2011?)
Sport Package
Sport Suspension
Auto Dimming Rear View Mirror
Automatic AC

The question I have here is that - Can I order the Black Conical Spoke with Sport Package on 2011 MCS?
The online configurator does not list this as an option, but we all know that it is buggy!
Ordering the sport package wheels in black was always an option since 2007, and that both Conical Spoke and Black Conical Spoke are available as a $750 option individually.

No heated seats by themselves. They used to be $500, CW package was $500, but now they just upped the price and included everything, I assume because everyone who ordered the seats got the CW.

The configurator has a lot of bugs. When I ordered my ClubbyS a couple of weeks ago (I got Sport) I had the choice to get Conicals or not. Therefore, this is obviously a configurator error, so yes, you'll be able to get them. Online it says that the conicals are $750 more, I didn't ask at the dealer because I went with the 5-star spokes. I'm guessing that the $750 was for the 17" upgrade, so if you have the Sport package, they should be a N/C option. However, sometimes they charge extra for the black

Sorta like the conicals though now that I can see them in real life/pictures, I'd say go for them. I hatehatehate the crown spokes and since the early online pictures showed them as resembling them, even the slightest, I said no. Kinda wish I hadn't...*sigh*

Edit: if you get the SportP, you get Xenons, and if you get CW, you get the headlight washers. Not to mention the heated pwrfold mirrors. Just FYI...

Sports suspension can be a little harsh for street use, especially with RFTs.

The heated seats are available as a standalone option for $500. The configurater does not currently reflect this fact, probably due to a mistake on the part of the webmaster.

Hahahaha totally agree, but some fit very well on the MINIs. It's why I went 5-star on my ClubbyS, looks semi-normal, cleans well, and still looks fun
