Original Equipment

Is there anywhere you can punch in the VIN on a MINI and see what packages it came with? I am considering a JCW but I want to confirm exactly what it is before I make the drive. One of the biggest things is the adjustable dampers. Is there a button or switch I can look for?

This decoder requires a 17-character VIN and I don't see where it provides build information specific to the car.

Contact the original dealer?? I think you can find this out through Carfax.
