Hello all. I took delivery of my Cooper S on March tenth and it was order Feb 1.

1. How do you know what production week it is.

2. What's the deal with the "hidden" compartment in the dash. I have it and like it.

3. ANything else i should know about the car!

I am looking forward to a very fun 3 years!

Welcome to NAM!

You'd have to know when your car was produced--i.e., the week it was built. Then it's just a matter of counting the weeks from January 1. Mine was produced January 16, so I was production week 3.

You're lucky if you have the secret compartment! Those produced in the month of January generally don't have it, although we're supposed to have a retrofit when parts come over here. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

What else do you need to know? Well, first step is to thoroughly read the owner's manual! Also, there are threads on this forum, and also on the 2002-2006 forum about little things that you might not realize. Beyond that, you will have plenty of fun, especially if you get involved with a local club, and/or run autocrosses as soon as it is broken in properly.

Good luck with your new baby!
