Sounds like a like spec. Personally I think I will chose the brushed alloy dash as the checks are not for me, but that's what the MINI (and certainly the new MINI) is all about, lots of personal choices to make it your own.

It's not actually hill decent, it's hill start assist. It just means the brakes lock for a moment when pulling away on an incline, so you dont roll back.

Because there is always one who ends up knackering the clutch and complains to Mini about it.

My dealer told me you can't get LSD yet because the new gearbox hasnt had it developed for it yet. I like corners without LSD anyhow so im not botherd!
