Cetaceans would be certainly be a poor choice for a MINI travelling companion. We'll all have to wait for the long wheelbase MINI in 2007 to even begin considering such a thing!

Lets see. The owner's manual of course. A tire gauge, a pen, a little LED warning light blinky thingie, a map of the tri-state area, a all purpose pocket knife, Maglite flashlight, and a small zip lock bag (don't know why). All neatly sorted by the factory glove box organizer.

I've got a Glovebox Tidy, iPod, stereo face plate, manual, and my EasyPass until I buy new sticky strips for it. I've got a mini mag lite in the tissue holder of the glovebox door. It's a good location since it doesn't rattle around too much during spirited driving
I bought my '06 R53 while stationed overseas. Factory direct, it came through military sales. All was good. Many fantastic adventures followed.
Fast forward two years. I move back to the US. I go to the local dealer, and register the VIN. I needed to move the warranty from Deutschland to the Mini USA.
What comes in the mail? Goodies.

Bottom set is what came with the car, top set is the new set. I keep them both in the glovebox -- because where else would I keep them?
Oh, and I was bummed that the USA version does not have the cool embedded magnetic clasp system that is with the set that came with the car. Very cool little feature.

I don't think you can order the part anymore, its an OEM MINI part.
