Does anybody know what are going to be the changes for model year 2003 in the Cooper and Cooper S? When is the model year 2003 going to start coming out? I'm currently on the list for a Cooper S and really thinking of actually getting a Cooper instead of an S but then I wanted would be different if I get a 2003 model. Thank you if you have any information.

At the rate we are going, it'll be 2003 before 2001 deposit payers get their cars anyway...... sigh

I think this has been raised somewhere before. I'll check it out.

cheers

September onwards in the states will be 2003 models. Since my S will be a 2003(i'm holding out for the indi blue) I'm hoping they add the REAL aluminum dash and hope the oil pressure/temp gauges get added in as accessories as they are in the UK.

Also the resale of a 2nd year model is generally higher then the 1st as most people associate the first year model to be working out bugs. That is unless it is a 1st corvette or something else classic that is older then I am...hehehe

I belive these will be sept BUILDS onwards and not cars necessarly delivered to dealerships in sept...i will try to find out....also I hope that w/ the 2003 models they don't do anymore prespecing as that would likely push me back a bit further in my wait.

Cheers

Hi Casey,I'm sorry to say that the oil pressure/temp gauges are still not available in the uk yet.

PS,Good news is that my chrome indicator housings arrived though the post this morning,sad news is that I dont have a MINI to put them on.

Hey Dinger, Where did you get the chrome indicator housings from? How much were they and how long have you waited for delivery?

Thanks again
