Any "must have" options for a '13 JCW Hardtop?

Hi all,

Looking to replace my wife's current car with something more sporty. We are interested in leasing a new hardtop JCW. I am planning on getting it stripped down - only an automatic transmission (save the tears, she drives 20+ miles of stop-and-go traffic daily). Are there any options that have more to them than the Mini website? I am a bimmer-nut and many times their packages include small changes that aren't obvious on the website.

Thanks,
Cyrus

Options are all a matter of taste, what do you want in a MINI?

For us, we don't want many, Sport Suspension, cloth/leather seats, Auto A/C, garage door opener and a rear fog light.

The sport suspension because its our track car (may not apply to you), the cloth/leather because they're most comfortable for us, the Auto A/C because its so much more convenient. The garage door because its very convenient and the fog light because all cars should have them.

I also wouldn't do without BlueTooth and iPod connectivity, but that's standard these days.

Auto AC and depending on location heated sets
I would say the H/K stereo, but mine now only has 4 speakers and base system, I think I'd almost say pass if your trying to save $$$
And Xenon headlights
I could live without everything else, and I do
