Gasoline, of course! What good would it be to put money into mods and aesthetics when you wouldn't have something to make the car run?

Garmin GPS w/ integrated bluetooth and MP3 player
GPS - I can take my MINI anywhere and not get lost. Have even set it to avoid interstates so it takes me on the "back roads"
Bluetooth - No issues with the cops now that I'm hands free.
MP3 - Plays all my favorite tunes to cruise.
So...now I can listen to my tunes, answer my phone and get my GPS directions all through my factory stereo system.

I agree with the auxilary input, easy to install and a great thing to have. (For us 1st Gen'ers)

I bought cocaine once for my MINI (100+ octane fuel). Its been wanting more for a long time. Kinda of a bad habit and expensive addiction.

I'm not one for modding so aux port for me, but a reduction pulley is on the short list.

Every mod I've done so far has felt like the worlds greatest purchase immediately after installation. Then I get used to it and find myself searching out another weak point in the car I can patch with money
In all seriousness it's a tie between the Sprint Booster and my aFe cold air intake. The swaybar is right behind.
Coilovers are next and I feel that will be at the top of the heap once they're installed.

Best thing I bought was the full chrome detail package for the interior from Mini Mania. It came with flat gray trim from the factory. Very boring. Didn't even realize what the "accent lighting" was for until I put it in. It was invisible before, now there is a little kick of color on all my detail when I drive at night. No one mentioned the interior before, but with the trim kit people point it out as soon as they get in the car and are shocked that it didn't come that way.
