I have heard that the light shade of green is to be replaced with a gold color for the Cooper.

Also, I have confirmed with the Cincinnati dealership that the two Nav systems are **NOT** compatible. If you (like I) own the current CD-based system, you can't swap readers for the DVD system. :???:

 

I heard from my dealer and MINI that they don't even KNOW when the 2003 model year will officially begin. I don't think any of the things you listed are official only 03 model type things...but then again, does anyone know anything about this car? And yet, I still want one REALLy bad
