Nice MINI

I had an 06 similar to yours. Mine was charcole. Mine was pretty plain, and it looks like yours is too. Never the less, it was a ball to drive.

I traded it for an 07 MCS R56 that has all the features I wanted: Cruise control (I turn it on as I'm leaving my driveway and use it always if there's no vehicle in front of me), auto A/C, and sunroof. I am also very pleased with the six speed manual transmission as it cruises at about 500 rpm lower than the five speed.

Good luck with your MINI, I hope you enjoy it as much as I have mine.

Nice MINI

P.S. Looking at you Gallery photos I see you have the Multifunction steering wheel. That means you got Cruise control and radio controls on the steering wheel. Bluetooth for your moble phone and voice commands are optional, but can be added by the dealer.
