I think these sills are going to be in all 2008's

They came in my last 2 order MINIs with HiFi.

I like them...

what do you think?

 

schweeet!

 

I like them. Sounds the line between 07 & 08 is being blurred - there was mention that some 07s were getting a USB port, and a re-designed center arm-rest.

 

is there a thread that discusses what the 2008 model will have over the 2007 models? ive heard things such as the USB and auto window up but is there anything else?... i guess now the door sills.

 

I hope the new sills are in non-S models too.

 

Non metalic black would be good .

 

Speed display for the criuse control (on the OBC I believe) is another 08 feature. It's also appearing in the week 32+ builds according to other NAM members.

 

Yes.. my dealer has told me the door sills have changed along with some of the sounds on the interior.. now if i could find out about the usb adaptor.. that would be great..

 

I like the sills, but I love the illuminated sills. I installed a set of illuminated sills in my last C-Class and they looked awesome!

 

Are you talking about the graphic? I have those on my '07, which left the factory on July 25th. Not sure what production week that was?

Also, if you're following my numerous whiny posts , no 'bonus' USB port in mine

 

I think they look great - big improvement..oh and I love the color of those seats...

Those are pretty nice.

But I still prefer aftermarket custom sill plates. Very easy way to make an eye-grabbing statement about your MINI. The possibilities are endless, just use your imagination.

I have a set one one MINI and working on a set for another.

 

They're OK, but I like mine better.

 

I really like those. If they didn't have the "S", I'd order a set for Clara!

 

QUITE nice! So is it safe to assume that my week 35 will have 'em!?! If so then I guess I won't be dropping 600 bucks for the illuminated ones after all :-D

 

I have them in my MC built 7/07.

You have to order PW though.

 

diablito, is your MINI Sparkling Silver?
THANKS

 

Nope...My MINI is Laser Blue.

The picture I posted is of a MINI I have order for a client.

I do not think there is a USB connector on the US bound MINIs, and the auto windows toggle is not on thr 2008 either.

Not right now anyway.

 

That I did!

 

Ohhh okays, gotcha. Well here's to hoping those sills show up on my MINI!!!

 

this is what i heard too..USB and auto window up. i was just there at the dealer. i forgot to ask them, how the usb interface will differ from the ipod interface. does anyone know? does the ipod interface connect to the nav and lists playlist on nav?

 

I picked up my week 32 MINI today - my car doesn't have the USB port, but I did get instructions on how to use it, in both a "supplemental manual" and the Radio Boost manual. You can plug in a flash stick but not a hard drive, and controls are similar to iPod or MP3 CD.

I have the new door sills and the "sport" message on the digital part of the tach when the Sport button is pressed. Haven't tested the one-touch window up or the cruise speed setting indicator.

Not impressed by the so-called HiFi sound system!

 

In what way?

 

Our car started production on 7/25 and completed on 7/30 and it has the speed display on the cruise control. I just noticed it today when we put the cruise control on for the first time. Figured it was something we had missed during the test drive. Very cool.

 

I have the new sills also. I really like them.
