#10 of 52 Thanks. by mfullmer Jul 09, 2004 (4:45 am)
Actually I don't have the order number yet. I'll have to ask for that. Not sure how long it takes to get it.   They are changing the individual options of Homelink, Auto Dimming Mirror, Rain Sensing wipers in January to a "Convenience Package" which includes all three plus automatic headlamps. I don't know why that, and the automatic for the S are January phase ins. I was a bit bummed but I can I can turn on and off my own lights if I have to.
#11 of 52 things to add by hollyg Oct 16, 2004 (4:48 am)
Hi My mini just came in. The salesperson has asked me to consider an "autobahn bra" to protect the front of the vehicle. Also insurance on the run flats and rims. Are either of these important?

Replying to: hollyg (Oct 16, 2004 4:48 am) The bra is a good idea and will protect your car paint from chips. I bought one years ago and can attest to it being worth 100 bucks.   The tire insurance is a pile of crap and I would not buy it even if I won the lottery. Still no MIni here, but maybe soon.

#13 of 52 04 vs 05 changes by pad Oct 16, 2004 (10:02 pm)
Did they change the gearing in the manual 5 speed if so, what rpm's does the 05 turn at 65 in the 5 or 6 speed? The 04 is around 2,800 and the cabin noise is sedate. Also what options do people find they can not live without and which are a waste of money ? Also What do people think about the run flats versus the reg. rubber ? Thanks in advance.

Replying to: pad (Oct 16, 2004 10:02 pm) I don't like the run-flats. Way too stiff! I'll most likely replace then with regular tires long before they are worn out.
#15 of 52 Alarm system by bodble2 Jan 28, 2005 (5:26 pm)
Is there a MINI dealer-installed alarm? Has anyone bought one? How good is it (feature-wise)? Does it come with one of those 360 degree flashing LED on the rear view mirror ala all BMWs. Of all the MINIs I've seen on the road, I don't think I've seen one with any fhashing LED to indicate there is an alarm. It can't be that no one has an alarm. MINI owners must want to protect their rides! Even Hyundais have alarms! Replies to this message: isabellamini (Oct 09, 2006 7:25 am) bfromhold (Oct 09, 2006 11:32 am) bodble2 (Sep 17, 2007 9:14 am)
#16 of 52 AWD Mini? by christopher35 Feb 21, 2005 (8:19 pm)
Has anyone heard if any near future design changes to the the Mini include an AWD package?? If so, I will be the first in line to trade my Saab 9-2X Aero for one.
#17 of 52 after market mats by lisalev May 05, 2005 (11:11 am)
I'm new to this forum. My husband left his front floor mats at the car wash. I want to buy him some new ones but not the factory kind. I was thinking coco mats. Also, what do you think about after market arm rests? I

Replying to: miggs (Jul 12, 2005 11:13 pm) MINI wheel specs: Bolt pattern = 4x100 Offset of +40 to +45   OPINION: Most MINI owners try to reduce wheel weight to improve handling and acceleration. Spinners have GOT to be heavy, probably too heavy for a MINI. I know I would laugh out loud at a MINI with spinners , but that's just me.
