Cheers! Thanks for the reply and link for pics! Looks alright although I still like the 2 spoke one! I been given an expected delivery date on my invoice of March the 8th but my dealer said that subject to a few days change here and there so Im just assuming it'll be here for the 1st week of March! Cant Wait!

Your dealer isn't trying,or they lack product knowledge. Tell them there's pics on MINI Infonet.
Tsk!

Obviously the dealer should be able to provide this info.

Also the MINI UK web site is very poor in providing decent info as well. There are so many options on the "build your own" configurator where there are no pictures or even decent decriptions of what items actually are.

So if the people who look after the web site read this then please get you act together

Thats so true!, maybe we should start another thread about the MINI.co.uk website?

By the way miniisfun has your dealer told you that at the moment you can still opt out of the 3 spoke and have the old 2 spoke? Mine did but the day they had their first 3 spoke wheel in and I went to see it my car went spec unchangeable in the middle of the day (this can usually only happen over night when the system updates!)

If you want the old wheel tell your dealer now!

My dealer has just had a week 49 build car in for the showroom with the 2 spoke MFSW and has offered to change for mine if I am still unhappy with it.


Cheers

Hi,

I went to "Mini München" - the BMW flagship store adjacent to the BMW headquarters in Munich - yesterday.
I was there 2 days before, too, and I did not see the car then, so the pictures I took for you are REALLY brand new!

The center boss of the steering wheel is the horn button (the whole cover for the airbag). The speed control and the controls for the radio work like a joystick: you can move them around. They are not single buttons as I saw it on very early pics.

It feels quite nice to the touch, too. It is not plain on the back side but has slight wavy moulding so that your fingers feel much more comfortable than on the plain 2 spoke wheel.

Hope this helps you!

Merry Christmas,

Wolfgang
