I ordered my MCS today and found out the three spoke steering wheel is not an option after all and as a result of this little disaster they raised the price up $450. IMO a bad move MINI/BMW.

sure looks optional to me, not to mention an incorrect pricing of it

KenL · Nov 26th, 2003, 08:27 AM

$350 extra - don't think they'll be selling many of them!

Sounds like the BS alarm is starting to go off!

I've been speaking with an MA near Chi-Town w.r.t. ordering, - without hearing this. I say don't trust 'em, tavis1. [GMINI03 is right!]

They've drastically underestimated your MINI-knowledge.

After quite a bit of complaining to my dealer, MiniUSA, and anyone who would listen, i was told that this is a "no-cost option". Don't know how true this is... we'll see when the car shows up.

Is the dealer just trying to scam an extra $350 from you?

definately not. my dealer has been helpful and very honest about pricing, besides i have it in writing. i was going to pay the $350 for it but then i was told it was included in the premium package as a "no charge option". we'll see if it shows up with the rear fogs though. I was told they might not be ready for december production and my car is begins assembly tomorrow

I was looking on the UK mini configurator site. The 3 spoke is on there now. It's included in the CHILLI pack for MCS and as an option on it's own only costs £55.
