Well, ok this is intended to find out how much you or the initial owner who had your car spent on factory options from BMW.

This is not a thread for those who have modded their car aftermarket

Id just like to see, personally, and im sure there are others too who would like to know how much people at the point of purchasing a BMW mini are spending in general on factory options

mine are here
opt1 on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
and
opt2 on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

14,640.00 Car List Price
5,715.00 BMW Options
9,021.63 JCW bits

30,713.63 Total

Thought this as im thinking of selling up and going to the dealer to see how much they'd offer to take it from me.

Its the price of two new mini cooper s's for gawd's sake!!!!

I like mini's but when the price is over £20k let alone £30k!! you should start to get your head checked lol

[Mejy Poo]

Crikey!

You can go a bit wild with the options really. Mine are as follows

Mini Cooper D: £13,980
+ Astro Black £280

+ Chili Pack £2010
Flame Spoke alloys £390
MFSW £170
Darkened glass £120
Colour line red £90
HI-Fi system £325
Chrome mirror caps £50

And that's me!! Just over 3k in extras total coming to £17,997

Would have liked a hell of a lot more but gotta watch them purse strings

£4395.96 of that is VAT!!!

[Professor Peach]

I'm at about £7,700 worth of options, inflating a £16K Cooper S up to about £23,700 ish.

Thing is, I genuinely feel that all of these are worth having and worth the money. There's nothing here I've "thrown at it" just for the sake of it, if I had to lose anything I'd be hard pressed to choose as I really do want all of these things.

On my MCS my extra came to £5700..... Love every bit of the car though....

[drainaudio]

Hi,
Just going through my "Mini" file as renewing insurance/tax.

Original owner paid..

£24,425, that's for an 05 BRG/Blk with basically every option except JCW stuff or Recaro's.
Came with both Cd changer and iPod as he "couldn't decide which one I'd use more"

I acquired the vehicle at just over 2 yrs old, 12k on the clock for aprox 60% of the purchase price - that's quite steep depreciation for a Mini.......I'm happy though!

It is scary how much these little cars can add up to

[T8MS_X]

Selling already? What's next?

Anyway...

Invoice for my car originally was just short of £24k, got every option box ticked just no JCW bits.

It is a silly amount of money for a MINI though.

[R99]

Ok mine would have been as follows.

I Think its right. I've taken some of the options prices from the convertible configurator, as I don't have the original invoice.

MINI ONE D 1.4 4cyl 8v: £12,225
Astro Black: £280
Sports seats front: £210
Cooper S s/wheel: £120
Cloth / leather octagon black: £450
Pepper pack: £765
TLC: £150
Remote control alarm: £200
ASC+T: £110
Darkened Glass: £100
Harmon / Kardon: £370
17" Polished R99's: £1,450
Zip roof decal: £115

Total from factory: £16,545 (£4,320 of which are options)

I am glad that I didn't have to foot the bill of the original car, as I only paid £13,500 for it at 5months old. So the woman who owned it before me for a mere 5,800 miles lost £3,045 in depreciation. Which to me seems quite a lot!

Then fitted by the dealer at my request (all prices inc. painting and fitting where necessary).

Aerodynamic kit (painted): £1030
Aero Spoiler (painted): £135
Spot lamps: £250
Body colour mirror caps: £140
Clear repeater lenses: £20

A further total of £1,575 worth of dealer fit options.

New total of car is therefore: £18,120 of which includes £5,895 worth of options. Making it one very expensive diesel

[Zack]

Mines a 2006 R56 Cooper S with the following:

Laser blue metalic
Chilli Pack
Aero kit
Bonnet strips
Spotlights
Darkened glass
Heated mirrors/Washerjets
Heated seats
Satnav
MFSW
Hifi speaker upgrade Sunroof
Checkered sunroof decal
Checkered interior and exterior mirrors
Fluid silver interior trim
Chromline interior
Anthracite roof lining
Electric folding door mirrors
Chrome line exterior
Sports suspension
Colour line in blue

So in the end it cost me around £24K, so not to cheap, but at the moment its my ideal MINI, and barely anything has gone wrong since i bought it.

8K worth of extras.

Not sure yet TomSex
The new Focus ST looks appealing having already been tempted by the older version - wont be in a position to change til later in the year i think

The mini's are great cars but i just dont think the options are worth it - sure they are needed but to pay way above the odds to have them dealer fitted and then come to sell those options mean very little. Im just glad i bought 2nd hand!

Surely its the only car in its class ie supermini where you can spend more than the car itself in options ?

Love minis but when your in the Mini/Porsche Boxster/Audi TT territory i know what comes 3rd place

The Focus ST (the older one) was in my list when I was looking a month ago. I test drove it. Wonderful machines but it's far too big for me! (and it's only a focus with a big engine in it, nothing special) I think the size of it would of ****ed me off in the end and all I wanted was a pocket rocket which the MINI is!

I may go Focus ST or something else next time. Having the oppertunity to purchase a brand spanking new Cooper S with all the JCW stuff, it was too tempted in comparison to the Focus ST. The only other thing that put me off was the pre-reg Orange ST I could of got 2 weeks ago was well over priced in comparison to other dealers (knowing the new ST was coming out).

[antonyc31]

If people are shocked at the price paid new with all the extras you just wait til its trade in time ! :>)
