Thanks for the replies.
Yes, had to wait until December to get the Auto, will be worth the wait as too much sitting in A40 and Headington Roundabout (Oxford) queues does the old left leg in
. Don't think the dealer can wait either as we think its the first Auto they have ordered.
On the subject of the front driving lights our dealer is sure they will be available and this is backed up by the poster on the recent factory tour photo (See attached). They look nice and not the same as the current ones we have seen at the dealers. Would Mini lie to us?
(Tried picture here but haven't done 5 posts yet. So see attached)
The only spec disappointment we had was the likely absence of the chrome strips on the bottom of the rear bumper even with the chili pack
. The UK New Mini preview site shows them on the zoom in but we, or the dealer, cannot find an option for them:
Chrome Line Exterior
MINI Cooper
- chrome bezel of the lower front grille
- front fog light surrounds
- rear central fog light surround
- 1 x chrome strip on front bumper
Also just to say the BMW replied this afternoon about the factory tour. December here we come!
