It is a MINI accessory and can be purchased through your dealer.

If you have the convienence package with the garage door opener on the rear view mirror, the cover won't work.

I was all ready to get one myself, until I found that out.

I have the convenience package and have the checkerboard cover. There's a thread on here somewhere showing how to modify the cover (with a dremel).
I got mine and slipped on the mirror to see if I liked it (I do) and have left it on there without doing the mod or taping it down. I found I can just press the garage door opener through the plastic, or just push it back if I need to. One day, I'll probably do the customization to it, but for now it's fine.

I was not aware that they changed the mirrors. Must be subtle change, I did not notice it.......

Thanks.

I know, but can't figure out why. My 03 MCS mirror captures the entire back window.
