CONGRATS!!!

I'm sooo jealous!

I must confess... I actually saw it in Kingsway on Tuesday arvo when I was picking up the BMW from service. There was an M6 behind it and yet I couldnt keep my eyes off your's. Now I really wan't one.

Once again... Lovely car!

The M6 was gorgeous wasn't it? hmm.. But I must say MINIs have their own unique way of stealing the show. I know I know, the M6 is no doubt a beauty but it's more a technological showcase, gigantic brakes, V freaking 10 and what not.. But with MINIs however it's all about the character isn't it, the cuteness of it... you just can't bring about yourself to hate the MINI.. while cars like M6, envious ppl like myself would find fault with it.. but don't get me wrong I would love to es an M6 under my xmas tree

I babled on quite a bit there... but i'm sure you guys know what i'm yaping about.

The M6 is a technological marvel, but I couldn't bring myself to spend that money on a BMW. £80k odd!!! Im sorry it may be good, but I don't know why, I just couldn't. Especially when I could have a V8 Vantage or and XKR for similar or slightly less money. Better still, and M5 for sub £50k?? Where do I sign

Micky - i agree with what you are saying. After the bucket load of trouble I had with the cooper, I thought I wouldn't do it again, but meh.

Next one will be a hugely more expensive load of trouble - a Cayenne

Congrats Bugiz!!! You lucky think you!!!

Hey when you say the ipod intergration, are you referring to the standard option within the Chili Pack? The AUX connection, not the USB?

Nah, RobotFeatures...
I was actually talking about USB iPod integration... and I controlled the iPod via the Sat-Nav...
Seriously guys, if u guys have an iPod... iPod+Sat-Nav is the best combo... worth the money

Dude i'm spewing!!! I've decked out my mini big time, spending some big coin on it! One of my first priorities was the ipod attachment. When i opened the catalogue and chose all my options i saw the AUX ipod attachment included within the chili pack. I thought this was the 'Ipod attachment'.

Where is this USB option?? Is it listed in another catalogue????

Ah i'm angry now!!

It's not on the list there's where it's tricky!!
It's a dealer install option so just ask the dealer to do it for you. Kingsway did a fantastic job with mine. I'm sure they can do it up there in Sydney.

How much did you pay all up?

Does the memory cope well if you have say more than 3000 songs ?

I'm not sure about the price as it's work into a package thingy..

There's an active thread with people baggin the usb ipod attachment. saying it takes long to load and you cant have anymore than 224 artists etc. Is this true?

I've been quoted $850 for the attachment

Hey my car has hit the shores. I should have within a couple of weeks.

Hmmmm i've already spent a huge amount of cash on the car. I might leave the USB attachment for a future upgrade. I'm sure the Aux will be fine for now.

PICS!!!

Mother Nature has finally granted Melbourne a fine weather that we so rightfully deserve.. so I decided to washe the car and here are the pics... Again I would like to stress to any potential SS buyer, pictures don't do the SS enough justice... see it to believe it's beauty









To the nice and friendly mods, sorry for the size of the pics.. trust me i've tried my best to figure out a way to shrink this but just couldn't
