what is in it and is it the same as crome interior pack .

emu_p · Oct 19th, 2005, 01:12 PM

The chrono pack is a set of gauges that replaces the central speedo
with oil-pressure voltmeter etc its nothing to do with a Chrome package!

Except that if you get the chrono pack, you WILL get the chrome interior. I don't believe they offer the chrono pack in anything but the chrome. At least not available when we ordered. The wife wanted the chrono without the chrome interior. Oh well.

this is the chrono pack

not the best pic i know but it has the temp of oil and water fuel gauge and oil pressure

and you should be able to get it in dash colour not just chrome

Really? Is it just a US thing? Or has it changed since (or prior) to us getting ours? Dang. I wm off to MINI USA configurator to see.

Sorry if I gave incorrect info.

sorry you shouldn't be it might be a us thing

In the US, the Cockpit Chrono Pack (order code 547) and Chrome Line Interior (order code 345) are separate options.

A real MiNi has a center-pod speedo

The chrono pack is a great option.

I also have the chrome line but you can also have it without.

I do like the look of my dashboard with the chrono pak, but it seems to be a dust and debris catcher. We have an MCS cabrio,( with a little roof wear) and I guess our air in California is a bit dirtier. The dealer has put double faced tape to repair it, I think thats one of my dealers solutions to many of their problems. Doesn't seem to be working to well though, I'm still collecting stones. I have to take the car in to have the facia on the dash repaired under the chrono pack, they didn't put it on right after the double face tape repair.I believe the mechanic used only thumbs to repair my poor little darling.
Anybody else experiencing this problem? I've asked at Mini USA, (last month) but they haven't yet gotten back to me. I'D appreciate any feedback.
Drive it when you got it!

I opted for the chrono pack option, the complete unit was recently replaced due to excessive rattles. However, I think moving the speedo onto the steering column with the rev counter is the best part of the option. We had a basic Mini One to use whilst the repair was being carried out, and couldn't get used to the centre speedo. I would recommend people go for this £120.00 option.

Though, unfortunately, you have to fork out an extra £100 for the trip computer (whether you want it or not) to get the chrono. So, budget £220 if you want the speedo in front of you (which I did).
