SIRIUS and Armrest, when available from factory?

The title pretty much sums it up. I have Sirius on my old Mazda and love it. Gotta have it on the MINI. Also the armrest, is February the timing now?

Anyone have factory pricing for these items?

And while I'm here, whats the opinion on the white wheels? BRG, white roof, bonnet stripes, the white wheels seem like a no-brainer to me. Anyone wanna talk me out of the white wheels? Talk me outta BRG? (sorry the white roof is staying). And the interior too. Silver or anthracite? Sometimes I find I like the brightness of the silver, sometimes the coolness of the anthracite. I was set on anthracite and now leaning toward silver. Talk me into or out of one or the other.

BRG and anthracite interior with chrome line and cordoba beige leather. This is the only way to go with BRG

I doubt Sirius will ever be available from the factory...

It was a dealer add-on on the 04 and earlier models, my guess is when the technical issues are resovled it will once again be a dealer add-on.

I'm also waiting for the Sirius module for my 2005. I learned yesterday from my Sales Mgr. that the Sirius modules come directly from Sirius; not MINI. This week, the Sirius rep. claims they will be released next week. The holdup has been antennas. I hope this is true this time. Listening to broadcast radio sucks!!!

BRG/W, CLI, CLE... (which I had the leather interior, but black looks OK). Gotta go with Anthracite.

Don't feel bad, I didn't know what he was talking about either, and I've been here for almost 2 years!

The price for the armrest is currently set at $200.

The release date for the armrest has been delayed without a hard date.

I got the silver dash in my BRG/B S. When I ordered it you really couldn't get a good feel of what it would look like. But when it finally showed up I was very happy. The silver dash with the Space Grey/Black cloth seats looks really nice.

I have the interior chrome with the anthracite & it looks pretty sharp on my BRG Cabrio. The cordoba beige leather interior also looks good with BRG especially when you can put the top down for all to see
