It sounds like you ordered everything, but do you really need the cold weather package in the bay area?

Nice Mini

Welcome back! Looks like a sweet MINI! :thumbsup:

Ditto on the Cold Weather Package. I have used the heated seats on a couple of cool mornings already. (Just took delivery 3 weeks ago.)

Only thing good about cold weather is it gives you a chance to heat up your seat. :wink:

MINImizeMe Jun 19, 2008 11:51 AM

I did not get cold weather pkg as I wanted to save money, which in your case is not an issue.

I once sat in a MBZ with heated seats... and it was weird how only your back and bottom were getting heated while rest of the body was cold (as the car heater takes time to heat up the cabin).

config looks great... congrats and welcome back:thumbsup:

Just added the rooster red leather and cloth int w/ piano dash today :cool:

Nice package. Nothing there I'd take off.

As for the cold weather package in the Bay Area, we've had our share of cold days here. I use my butt warmers all the time during the winter so it is more than worth the money.

The E30 M3 is my all time favorite car.(Besides Ferrari) How does it compare to a Mini?

The mini is a modern car and drives more smoother. My E30 has a 2.5 stroker motor and are running on coil overs. But they do get the same attention. One is cute and one is classic. I also had a ferrari for years its not the latest but it was the sexiest IMO. here is a pic.:grin:

NICE seats!!!! Since my E46 is my DD, I couldnt do too much mod. I have TCK C/O 500/500 with borla mids and SS race. Its simple yet very functional around corners.

BTW, why PSS10 over other ones for MCS? Bilstein left a bad taste in my mouth when i had PSS9 for the e46 m3. I felt very disconnected with the road after multiple adjustments... so i ended up just replacing it with TCKline (koni shocks with linears sprins with better parts than Ground Control) I do have front camber plates and H-Sport sways... it did transform the car into much deserved "track" entry level car.
