Dealer confirmed yesterday that the Armrest is included with Mini Connect saving $250. I heard it was and wasn't included. Then they wanted $750 for the control box which is included. They fianlly got it all straightened out as it is production now. Finished on Tuesday next week.

 

I don't know the answer but I do know some are getting in n/c and some are paying $250. I paid the $250. Oh, well.

 

Thats what I heard very strange. Not sure how it could go through the system 2 different ways.

 

When building one on the website, it charges you separately for the Center Armrest. (base Cooper S goes from $24,200 to $25,450 when the $1000 MINI Connected option is added). Then again, that's MSRP so maybe it's negotiable.

 

When I ordered my Clubman, the configurator didn't yet have the MINI Connected/Nav. The dealership added the armrest to my order for $250. I balked at it, and they said it was required. I insisted that I didn't want it, and they finally said that they wouldn't charge me for it (got that in writing!). Since then, the configurator has been updated and automatically adds the armrest (at $250 extra) if you spec MINI Connected or Navigation.

 

yes, mine showed the same on the config. and my MSRP was 35K. Dealer just sent me the build sheet and factory spec for my build and the armrest showed as NC with MINI Connect PKG. Should be done Weds.
