My MA called and told me I got moved up 2 weeks!!!!!!! That's 14 free days of skip!!!!!!! My only options were bonnet stripes and DSC. I always thought I would order LSD but when the time came I decided to save $500 and order DSC for the slippery winter weather. I also thought this would be my first car with Xenons but couldn't convince myself to spend $550 more. The Bonnet stripes should be free option. It's a MINI for Pete's sake! My e30 needs a new clutch and throwout bearing.... it will cost about $800. And my wife and I just bought bicycles, bike trailer for my daughter, bike clothes, helmets, and etc... So I had to cut down on the options as much as I could. I am happy I am getting a MCS at least!

 

Not to worry...the MCS bone stock is an amazing car!!! I have a friend (here on NAM) that found one on the lot with one option and snatched it up quickly!! Lightly optioned MINIs (Coopers and MCSs) are sometimes best, imo!!

 

The heavily optioned ones are pretty darned fun too.

Hang in there. The options are cool, but the driving is the best. Then the SatNav. And the stereo...

 

Don't worry...the aftermarket market will wait patiently for your checkbook to recover and your desire for mods to exceed your earnings
