can we see pics of the speed display on th ecruise control, if anyone has them feel free to email me a pic, thanx

 

What the 08 S really needs is a bonnet that does'nt feel like a BBQ after driving !

 

LOL yep thats a great idea!

 

Certainly! Here's the display. It comes up when you set the cruise speed or +/- adjust it, and stays up for about 5 seconds or so. The little triangle above the curve will move as you +/- the speed. This is a production week 30 car, BTW.

 

I wonder if that is simply a software change and could be added to earlier '07 models in a software upgrade?

 

Is anyone willing to go measure the new sills in their car?

 

Do you suspect a change ??

 

No, I'm hoping there's not a change, so I can put a set in my R50!

 

My 2007 3-series has the exact same display when setting the cruise control. I always wondered why the wife's 2007 cooper didn't have it.

 

I for one hope it is a simple software change. I would love to have it.

 

Anyone else with the new sills care to post some pictures???
THANKS!

 

I can't imagine it being anything other than a software change? How does it display on earlier '07s?

 

As does my 530I.

 

anyone have any news on the change to the arm rest... im putting in an order next wensday and i would really like an arm rest from the factory but ive heard the old ones like to open up a lot and have no storage space

any info would be great
thanks

 

hey i have the sills on my cooper s, but it doesnt have the "S" ill post a pic

 

Does anyone else have the one that doesn't have the "s" on it? I want the "S" logo on my car since it's an MCS

 

What was your production date?

 

I just got my Coopsd last saturday, it was on week 34 I think.

 

yup i got mine a week before you and i have it as well

 

Here's one with the "S"

 

im mad, my sills didnt come with the "S", should i ask my dealer about it? ill see if i have the speed display when i use the cruise later.

 

That's strange... Your MINI most certainly should have come with 'S' sills. I would definitely mention it to the dealer. Easy fix, luckily.

Strange things happen sometimes at the factory. I remember one US NAM member got his MINI with MINI One sills!

Here's what mine look like...

 

ok, i called my min dealer and they stated that yea it should be an "S" and i can take it back to them and have them fix it, he also stated that any mini should do it since its not built correctly, so i called the mini which is 8 miles from me, they stated that it might be something they would charge me, i guess ill have to pay for them

 

I'd argue that, and escalate it through management and MINIUSA if necessary. It should have come from the factory with MINI Cooper S sills, not Cooper. Granted, it's not a major piece of equipment, but still, it's not what you paid for. (Or just get custom ones! )
