"Cruise control, Multi-function leather Sport steering wheel, Dual-pane panoramic sunroof, Automatic AC with carbon air filter, and an On-board computer that provides a detailed trip odometer and tracks your average speed, fuel consumption, the distance you can go on your remaining fuel, and outside temperature."

Won'erful! However I don't want a sunroof. I have my irrational reasons, however I want everything else. Anybody know if my dealer will give me grief over this request?

Thanks LC

I doubt it!

I'm pretty sure everything is offered individually, isn't it? If you check on MINIUSA each part of the package is available solo so... put anything together you want! You'll lose the discount though.

It also means you'll have to order rather than finding one already built. I was too impatient for that but I'm much less picky about the options.

Cat is correct.
You can order all options individually, just keep in mind that you'll be paying roughly the same to ditch the sunroof as you would for the package that includes it.
If you REALLY don't want it, though, it definitely can be done.

You can get all separately or some together in the different packages. See which package give you the most for your value and then just add the other things on their own.

I got the Sport Package, and then added the MFSW and Computer and Cruise. I didn’t want the sunroof either. If you see which package give you most of things you want, it will save you lots of money than doing a separate order.

Thanks all for your responses. Yes I think i will go with a slightly different package. I may loose a bit of savings but I want what I want. Thanks again

The best part about a MINI is there are hardly any two that are just alike.
Personalization is the key to MINIs success for the past 45 years!!

I ordered my MCS without any packages. I knew the options from each package that I'd like so I ordered the items I wanted. Read my signature and see what I am getting.

and what I've found also important to me is what I didn't want / wouldn't use from the packages. No Sunroof (weighs too much) No 17" wheels (weight issue again) No Onboard computer (I wouldn't use it much) ... Things like that!

I just love the "Build your own MINI" on the MINI USA site. I've tricked out my car so many different ways. It's allot of fun and I saw where the money was being spent. By the time I went to the dealer I knew exactly what I wanted.
