Hi all,
I have been a longer time reader of the forum but this is my first post.
I am putting together my final ordering package for the 07 MCS at the moment and have ran into a few questions. I am in need of some advise.

1. I am getting the Navi without the HiFi upgrade, will that affect my ability to get real-time traffic information? Also does the Mini navi comes with lifetime real-time traffic subscription? I am in the US by the way.

2. I am planning on getting the chrome interior along with the exterior. I like the exterior chrome but the interior I am not sure how much of a differences it makes. Would someone mind to chime in on this one? The issue is if I skip the interior chrome package I can pretty much get the Sport package for the same money (since I am getting the Xeon headlight already) and I wouldn't mind having the bonnet stripe either.

3. As for the "spot button" is it even an option for the US MCS? I don't see it anywhere nor mention as a standard.

Thanks in advance for take some time to help me out. I am looking forward in joining th circle of Mini owners soon.

I would go for the chrome line interior - I specced my R50 up with this retrofit and it completely lifted the interior. Definitely worth every penny!

Chrome line interior...... yes get it. Really smartens it up

Chrome int. is pretty good. IMO, bonnet stripes on the R56 are 99% a must!! By the way, welcome to MINI2

Thanks guys,
How about the 17" wheel that comes with the sport packages? with the bonnet stripe I will be only be adding $300 more for the 17" wheels. Does that improve the look or handling of the car?
