If you are talking about OEM options chosen when ordering:

1. DSC
2. LSD
3. NAV
4. PDC

Although, I could not stop and four. I'd want:
MFSW
Heated Seats
Comfort Access
Rear Fog Lights
Anthracite Headliner

If you are including aftermarket mods, my top two would, of course, be:
African Blackwood gear shift ****
African Blackwood ebrake handle
I would settle for Cocobolo, though.

the rear fogs really do make the car more visible... definitely something i would recommend if you live in a place where the weather is not always sunny.

I haven't ordered an MCS yet, but I'm thinking about it. If I *do* order one, I'll have:

1) LSD
2) Sport Suspension
3) DSC
4) MFSW

And that's actually pretty much all I want! Basically a copy and update of my current Cooper.

None, none at all. Maybe a glove-box organizer but that's it.
