Couple questions for new owner 2011 r60S

So i have just recently purchased a 2011 countryman S all4 and am completely in love with it, although I do have a few questions since I am new to the mini scene, and cant seem to find good videos for the 2011 year modeled r60. Mine is an auto transmission, and I do not see a "sport" button beside my window lock on the console like I do in photos of other r60s, as well I do see I have park lights but nothing on the bottom for fog lights? Especially I do not see a button to turn them on.. so I guess my questions are.. am I missing a sport mode option for my particular r60? And where do I pick up a set of decent fog lights to replace the factory " parking light only "?

Are you in Canada? I seem to recall other folks from up north complaining about a lack of sport button.

I am in canada, yes, like I can put my shifter over to the "M/S" mode and that seems to change how my. Throttle responds as well as when it shifts and such so I assume that is where sport is for the Canadian models, it just is a bit off putting to think maybe because it's a Canadian model I just dont get sport mode :( I wanna go fast too

I am in Trinidad.Same thing with my MINI.You can go on the VIN decoder and enter your chassis number and see what specs your car was manufactured with.

Shifting the transmission lever over to sport + will change how your car shifts, it will be more aggressive. The sport button should change the responsiveness of the throttle, brakes, etc, as well as turning on the pops and burbles. It seems weird to me that it’s not there, but I too recall seeing a few posts from folks who do not have it. I don’t remember what county the build was for, but apparently Canada is one.
