| Multi-functional Retro-fit?? OK, I'm being lazy I know, (& I haven't done a proper search) But... Does anybody know if you can get your dealer to fit the multi-functional steering wheel to the S so that the cruise control function works? (Something I might be looking to get done if it's a possiblility) And if so how much does this little job cost a poor fella?? Cheers in advance MINI2ers   |

| Er tell you what??? NO!!! ha ha I haven't looked into it but I doubt its going to be that expensive, your only changing a steering wheel so don't let them rip you off. I know its been done before by people on here and I reckon you might pay around £200/£250 it can't be much more than that as it only costs about £150 as an option. Might be worth asking when you take your car in for the Sunroof |

| Retro MFSW Not sure on this one, but, last i looked a the accessory price list it was £420 for a MFSW retro fit kit. thats without labour as well. so no chance for me who was also interested in this. but like i said, i might be wrong - or livin next to the dealership from hell. jon |

| It's not the end of the world... I just should have read up a little bit more when deciding my options... The sunroof topped the budget at the time and that was more important to me than cruise control  |

| the kit is £430 inc VAT, fitting would be approx £300 inc VAT. OUCH! well worth getting it when you order then! |

| heretohelp - No offence taken...you are correct all the same!! I guess I'll just have to look at trading it in for a new one then?  I'll be down at the dealers in the morning... Seriously though people, (Bobbycrook stay away)  Am I really missing out on this cruise control malarky, and do you think it gives you better mpg? Just a theory - If your foot is away from the pedal, your less likely to floor the god damn thing - but then where is the fun in that???  |

| With regards to Minty: "Give me my arms and legs back you tight fisted, money grabbing BMW dealer, have no shame, I only wanted cruise control, why didn't you tell me more back then, haven't you made enough profit out of me already, corporation *(&^%^ SHARK.... I still love my car to bits so I will let this one go just this once and on this occasion only, thank you very much!" But then again... "OUCH!" Sums this up very well for me!! |

| I had this done to my car. Forgot about the steering wheel until it was too late. Just found my invoice for the labour - £270 with the VAT. The cost of the kit would appear to be £430 with VAT (part number 65.71.0.029.494) but I paid £329.36 inclusive. Looking at that, I got 10% discount, but it looks as though I wasn't actually charged VAT!!! Only just noticed that! Anyway, the moral of the story is, include it in your car order process! Even at the price I paid it's £600 for a £160 option.  Check out my gallery for before and after pics. |
