3 Spoke Steering Wheel

Was 2005 the first year for the 3 spoke steering wheel? I know in 05 MINI did away with the old 2 spoke wheel but could you get an 04 with the 3 spoke wheel as an option? Or was it completely not available until 05?

Thanks!

You could get the 3 spoke on a 2004 as an option, but it looks slightly different (the stitching)

Sounds good, I'd thought I had seen some 04's with that wheel but I couldn't find any pictures of any online so I was a little skeptical.

Thanks for the reply

you CAN upgrade to the 3 spoke but know that you'll need to purchase a new airbag as well. the airbag isnt cheap either
