In North America the Chili Packs etc. are not available. Some things are bundled together like sunroof and cruise control, but for the most part you select from the (limited) options list.
My experience in the Great White North is that dealers do not have as many items available to them as they would in the U.K. and Europe. I'm certain in the larger U.S cities products would be available through the dealer.
Aftermarket guys in the U.S and Canada do a great job for the most part.
I was recently on the Mini.ca site and for 06 the option list looks even shorter?

I believe the standard equipment in NA cars is much higher e.g. A/C, Power Windows & Locks, Xenon lights etc.
