Good options/bad options

Hey everyone,

I am sorry if someone has posted this question before.

What are some of the options on the Mini that you wish you could have now? Or those options on your car that you dont use ever now?

I probably should have bought DSC, and this winter I know I'm going to regret not buying the Cold Weather Package. The only option I bought was the MFSW, so I use everything I bought

Search the threads... there are differing opinions for almost every single option, and very long discussions on the merits / problems of each.

There seems to be general agreement that the auto A/C isn't all that necessary, though, I think that's the closest to a consensus on any one option that I've seen!

NOTHING is necessary...
The only 'option' I know of that has a concensus is the 15% pulley.
This thread goes into detail of the likes/dislikes of auto climate control.

Personally, I love it.

My short list:

1) I prefer the standard climate controls over the automatic system
2) I wish I didn't have a sunroof to turn my car into a solar oven in the summer (problem now partially solved with at white vinyl decal)

15% pulley isn't an option, it's a mod (that at some dealerships will void your warranty)
