Yep, that's the Cordoba Beige Leather (a $1300.00 option).

You also have the upgraded A/C system.

Ya know, you can call a MINI dealer and give them the last 7 digits of the VIN and they'll be able to tell you all about what's in your MINI.

I'm not sure on a 2006, but on the 2009, it's leather if you have a lumbar support adjustment ****. No ****, then it's leatherette!
