ok, i've already placed an order and hopefully its not too late to change it. Anyways, heres whats currently in place:

MCS LIB/B
-Premium Package
-Sport Package
-Convenience Package
-White turn signal
-6 spd auto
-xenon
-blk/grey leatherette
-chrome line interior
-piano black interior surface

and heres what i'm thinking of changing to (barring it not being in production yet):

MCS LIB/B
-Premium Package
-Convenience Package
-Dynamic stability
-White Turn Signal
-6spd auto
-xenon
-leather: lounge carbon/blk
-piano black interior surface
-chrome line interior

So basically, I got rid of the sport pkg (except the DSC) and replaced it with leather. What do you guys think?

 

For $100, add the rear fog.

 

I think with the Piano Black Interior Surface I would go for the Leather...Just my .02 Molly is 'justacooper' w/Leatherette, ALL 4 Pkgs, Fluid Silver, and Chrome!! We take Delivery Saturday 9:45AM!!!
The choices are endless and ultimately YOU have to be HAPPY!!!

Good Luck!!!

 

The convience package really seemed like a gadget to me.
Would rather have the stick.

In the end it is your ride. Build with pride.

 

I second the idea about rear fog lights. MUCH more pricey to add later and YOU WILL REGRET not getting them...I did.

Dumping the sports package for the leather sounds good, since you're getting DSC...as long as you don't want upgraded 17" wheels (such as web spokes).

 

thanks for the replies.

well, looks like the decision has already been made since it already went into production yesterday which is fine. it was just the long wait from ordering it to the actual start of production that made me second guess every option. oh well.. i'm just happy its finally being built!

 

Ask your MA if it's too late to add rear fog lights. It's worth the extra $100 to add them. They "complete" the rear bumper of the car and you won't have a blank space in your toggle array.

 

Change the color -MCS LIB/B
Don't get the sunroof -Premium Package
Keep -Convenience Package
Keep -Dynamic stability
Whatever -White Turn Signal
Manual -6spd auto
Dump -xenon
Redwood Lounge Leather -leather: lounge carbon/blk
Keep -piano black interior surface
Dump -chrome line interior

Add:
LSD (only with a manual)
NAV
PDC
HIFI

That's what I think.

 

We've ALL been in your shoes at one time or another...what is important is that YOU ordered YOUR MINI for YOU!!!

 

Robin, thanks for the reply. Obviously, I think we have some different taste but thats ok..everyone has the right to their own opinion. However, the one thing that I actually strongly disagree on is the NAV. I actually started my search process with the NAV being a must but after testing it out at the dealership and seeing how its not a touch screen and that you need to scroll to find your letters, etc etc.. and after comparing it to my NAV on my other car, i just felt like this was not worth the $2000. I did like that it had 'real-time' traffic but in the end, I just ended up spending the $2k on other options.

 

From reading about the Nav for a year (I don't have it) I think you made the right choice. It's probably fine, but if you're used to a possibly better one saving your $$ is pretty smart. The aftermarket units get the job done if you need one bad enuf, and they're way cheaper to boot. Nice car btw.
