I took the plunge!

After wanting a Cooper S for years, I finally got one! Love it! I bought a peppermint white with black stripes, 17" S lites, two tone leather, auto climate, Harman, driving lights, DSC, heated seats, trip computer and don't know what else. The dealership didn't know if it had a sport package, premium or else. Is there a way to find out what options the car has?

Thanks!

Based on what you said, you have:

Combo #3 cold weather:
-heated washer jets
-heated mirrors
-heated front seats

Combo #1 premium:
-multifunction steering wheel w/cruise & audio controls
-dual-pane panoramic sunroof
-automatic aircon
-on-board computer

Combo #2 sport:
-dynamic stability control (DSC)
-sport seats (two tone?)
-front fog lamps
-rear spoiler
-17" alloy wheels
-bonnet stripes
-xenon headlights

I'm not sure where the HK sound and driving lamps fit in.

You may not have listed some of these options, but as far as I know, they only come in these combo packs, so you must have the whole thing.

Cool! The whole enchilada! Sounds good! I found a thread and I entered the VIN# in order to get the car option list. Waiting!

I just bought the OBX exhaust. I hope it isn't crap!

Do you have any droning issues? I didn't get the header. That is going to next. Do you recommend it?

I think HK system and driving lights were completely separate options not on any package, expensive options too

Hard to tell, but is pepper white like an off white color, like a really really light color beige ?

Reason I ask is because I almost purchased an 04' that color with black hood stipes. But I was not able to find a factory color on the key codes that matched - It was a very handsome combo. but the dealer wanted more than I was willing to spend at the time.....

Yeah, it's the only color "white" that MINI makes, so you can't confuse it with one of their "other" whites. Not even "peppermint white".

And yes, it's a creamy looking white, not a pure white, by any means.

yes that's the color.....Funny - for some reason when photographed and posted here in NAM, it just doesn't look the same as it does in person.....it's a great color.
