I've check with BMW HK in regards to glove box - cost is HKD 2000.00 Labour included. But can't install it until 6 months later or it will cost more.

Also check BMworks - advertised for HKD 1300 + 600 Labour = HKD 1900.

Advise from installing it myself has anyone found a cheaper place get one?

Thanks.

I m planning to get it next time in London. Cost GBP67 for the kit + GBP20 for the aircon duct. DO a search here in the forum. Someone has posted a pretty detail DIY

cliffywong · May 19th, 2003, 05:12 PM

That seems like a pretty good deal. I'll check the internet to see what the freight charge is.

Hi CliffyWong!!

There are two different kind of grove-box, one has got the light inside but one haven't.

Cheers.....

u2silly · May 19th, 2003, 05:25 PM

Have search most of the dealers but none seems to sell the glovebox over the net. Let me/us know if you find anything.

I think the light is just an extra component which connection is already provided in the dash. check the DIY.

cliffywong · May 19th, 2003, 05:28 PM

I still find it funny - we pay for a HK 230,000 car enough to buy used Porsche and no glove compartment box...

The worst thing is I just found out last week. I get my car this week. Oh well.....

u2silly · May 19th, 2003, 06:48 PM

i think what sucks in here is that this is a GBP50 option in the UK and we cant get it. Same thing with the sport seats. Since I m getting (taking delivery this week) a pretty "interesting" color combo, have to wait for the full three months for it to be built. However, when asked about whether i can put the sport seats in, answer was NO. Why not? my car was sort of custom built already...

Mini is supposed to be a car which you can customize if you are willing to pay, like the porsches. Just look at the nicely printed brochure, there are all kinds of options which we cant have!! I think the BMWHK has ruined it all. Not to mention that their service is not the best of the world, couple of days before delivery and they called up on problems with my trade-in car and insurance…..

enough rumbling..... just want to get this through and drive my new car. Btw, do you know the insurance for a MC is more expensive than a 96 Porsche… ask me how I know.

ar75 · May 19th, 2003, 06:55 PM

Just out of curious, what colour combo do you have?

negotiator · May 19th, 2003, 07:27 PM

u2silly · May 19th, 2003, 08:40 PM

i m just planning to walk in the parts dept of any dealer to get it. since it is so common (read threads in the exterior forum) I think i can get in anywhere. If anyone have found a web purchase, please post

I never know there is no glove compartment box in HK MINIs, can anyone take some picture of the inside, I want to know what it look like, when there is no glove compartment box.

also what do you have under the wheel, is it a pocket self, or just a plate? Thanks
