Armrest = Standard Equipment - MINI Cooper Forum

Hi All

I am looking to purchase a 2012 Cooper D. It has a Chili Pack and I was wondering if they come with an armrest as standard or will is it an option that needs to be ticked from new?

As I do a lot of Motorway driving (120 round trip daily) I personally feel it is an essential requirement for comfort.

Thanks for any replies!!

Armrest comes with the full bluetooth option.
Or its a £120 extra on its own.

Thanks Nun. Is that the Mini price for the Armrest? I am going to try and bargain with them to through it in for free (plus fitting)

Thats last years MINI sales brochure price
I bet you can get them to throw you one in for free if youre buying a new MINI

Adding a pukka factory armrest to an existing car will be expensive as it requires part of the centre console to be removed and replaced as well as adding the armrest - certainly much more than £120.

However Mini do make an armrest that is designed for retrofitting as shown below - list price £145 excl fitting.
