R56 Why the car doesn't come with part that should work in winter?

After doing some research it seems like some Mini do come with a
(Cold Climate Version) But just because you have the mini (cold weather package) doesn't mean you automatically have the ( Cold climate version ) I found this out by check about 20 mini vin at ( bimmer.work ) vin decoder and noticing that even if the mini didn't have the cold weather package it showed they did have a cold climate version and vice versa...
it's very odd but if you're curious just de code your vin and find out for yourself.

I know for a fact that my car has the cold weather package and I am having the same problem with the cold weather. So, having the cold weather package does not seem to be a deciding factor of having the 'cold weather manifold'. Mine is an early '07 production by the way, so it might have changed in later models.

Best way is to look at the engine if you have it, Vin will not show it if a dealership installed it after the delivery or for the switch over, all they put on your door jam is the service performed update stamp, circle sticker.

My car has heated washer nozzles from what I can tell, but I'm not sure how to check the mirrors. Only seat heating and washer nozzles are listed on the build sheet though.
I did not know about the intake replacement program until after I bought the new version though. Glad it wasn't more than $40 because I doubt Mini would offer to repay me willingly.

Just an update and great new, we were able to get the rare cold climate version intake back into production under bremmen parts!
Now Canada and Northern USA, Northern Europe, etc MINIs that got this as a dealer replacement can still get it
This part is NLA from MINI. So we are the only option.
