New to the Mini world

As I type this, I'm waiting for a call from a truck driver who will be delivering our '05 convertible hopefully this evening or tomorrow morning. Just want to check in and say Hi. Pic's from the dealer are in my gallery, waiting to take my own soon. Looks like it's time to start reading, it would appear I have alot of catching up to do.

Configured very nicely

I have two questions though:

1) Where are the Bluetooth phone buttons on your MFSW?

2) Your cupholder is different from what I've seen on every other MINI. Is this what they're using now?

It looks as if the black plastic framing and rubber bottom of the cupholder are missing in that picture, but I'm willing to bet its the same model of cupholder, just not fully assembled yet.

I can't answer any of your questions until I actually see the vehicle in person myself. Still waiting on delivery, patiently??? (Foot tapping..... pacing back and forth) I'll try to find some pictures of a multifunction steering wheel, but if anyone can shoot me a link I'd appreciate it.

We took delivery today at around 1:30 PM Pacific time today. Our precious mini recieved a small (looks huge to me) rock chip just behind the drivers side door and it was absolutely filthy from it's journey from Missouri to Oregon. Finally got it cleaned up and still learning how everything works. Took it for a short drive and it drives as good as it looks. Hyper Blue is sure a head turner. Looking forward to warmer days cruising with the top down. The cupholder came to us intact with all the plastic and rubber. The steering wheel on the early 2005's I guess didn't come with the bluetooth buttons.
