New Steering Wheel!!!

[JpMcC]

I have read here on a previous thread about a new 3spoke steering wheel for the MINI, but what I was wondering was if the current 2spoke wheel is still available either as an option, or will it still be standard and the 3spoke optional, I prefer the 2spoke, but i am worried because I we have not finalised our order and may get a 2004 build, which inculeds new features?? will the 3spoke wheel be one of them?

I currently am waiting for the delivery of my DS/B MCS.
I have been told by the dealer that the car will be built on production week 48 and misses the new wheel by one week as its going on line on week 49, although apparently we do get the OBC.
Personally, I`m quite glad I`m not getting the new wheel as I think the existing wheel is a lot more classier and not something that was designed by ToysRus!!!

Here in the USA the three spoke is an option. Click on http://www.mini2.com/forum/general-discussion/45181-thank-god-its-option.html

the 3 spoke wheel is a $350 option. the car still comes standard with the 2 spoke.

Yea, here it will be a separate option, if I've read the other posts properly. I have to admit that I don't mind it, but wouldn't pay money above the two spoke one.

You will. I got my S last Fri, and all of them since Sept have it. If you're like me, you'll get the OBC, but not pay the Chili price increase

Does anyone know if in Europe, the three spoke steering wheel is an option? I have a january production date and I´m afraid I´ll get the new one, and it doesn´t convince me too much.

Thanks and Happy holidays

it's part of the chili pack in the UK ... talk to your dealer, they should know

It is part of the chilli pack in the UK but you can still opt out to the 2 spoke version(mfsw or not).
This is of course as long as your car hasn't gone spec unchangeable - like mine did on the day my dealer got their first 3 spoker in. Usually only updates at night but went in the day so couldn't opt for old one in the end. Just hope Mikeythemini can get the new wheel to work as well as the old one did (MFSW) as it has 2 buttons less than the 2 spoke.
