Order now or wait for Sport Package?

Hello,

I'm new to NAM, but I've already learned a lot from these forums!

I configurated a regular MC Clubman and I'm just about ready to order. The only thing making me waver is whether to wait for DTC to be available - rounding out the Sport package. I selected the 3 other options that are in the package already and they add up to $1250 (16" wheels, fog lights, sport seats).

Any suggestions on whether I should wait until I can order the Sport Package (which adds a rear spoiler as well as DTC), or move ahead with my current configuration?

Has anyone heard a date when the Sport package will be available to order? And are there any other mid-year updates worth waiting for? Thanks for your advice!

Tim

I can't really help, I sometimes run the configurator and can't work it out myself. We ordered Tristan with the Sport package because we wanted most of the bits on their own (DSC, 16" wheels, sports seats) so we basically got the front fog lamps and spoiler for free. Without knowing how much the package is going to cost, you don't know how much you're going to be saving with the package.

The other thing is I really haven't worked out what DTC is, to know if its worth waiting for, or whether I wouldn't want it anyway.

I would save the money and go with Coilovers and a few of the related parts, it is more money but the ride seems to be a lot better.
