I Will be picking up 2002 Cooper on Friday nite and normally install Alpine Mp3 Stereo but this i don't want to spend £249 and i need cheaper option.

What i what would like to know is there any way of connecting my MP3 creative Zen to the standard BMW Stereo?

Unfortunately I think you are out of luck with a 2002 model, as later (2003?) models can have an auxiliary input plugged into the back of the head unit. If it is a cassette/radio rather than the optional CD head unit your only hope may be a cassette adaptor instead of a hard wired input.

I have one of these and the sound quality isn't too bad. Cheap as chips too.

Which is why I had to go for the cassette adaptor option.
