uhhh I don't remember if the cup holders are bigger or not but maybe they are because it comes with a little cup, for lack of a better description, that can fit inside the cup holder and hold smaller beverages.

Also thanks to all who suggested joining a club. I contacted the MINI Dealer and they got me in touch with them xD

Empty toggle switch?

Is that a bracket switch that's only used for non-US cars?

good question. I'm going to guess the 4 wheel drive toggle goes there.

Do you have rear fog lights? If not, I bet that's the switch for it, since both fog switches have lights, at least on 1st gens. In fact, the major reason why I wanted rear fogs was so I wouldn't have to stare at the empty slot in the switch bank.

Hey Puppet, I'm curious on a couple things. Did you get a 2013 Owners manual with your car, that reflects the changes to the outside mirror controls, for example?

yes and yes. not all of the literature has been upgraded but the owners manual has and the 2013 (at least mine) came with a y cable, a rail mountable iphone holster, and a rail mountable sunglasses case.

I just ordered my 2013 All4 and was wondering about the black trim around the speedometer as well. I test drove a 2013 on the lot, but I don't think it had the black trim (it did have the window controls on the doors).

When I configured mine online it didn't show the black trim for the 2013, but I hope it has it because I think it looks a lot nicer. Congratz on your CM!
