Sport Suspension with Chilli Pack

[lortos_diam]

Hi,
I have ordered a COOPER S to be produced in February and delivered in early March.
Although I have ordered the Chilli Pack,which includes the sport suspension, I was told that I specifically have to mention that I want the car to have the sport suspension, regardless of the the fact that it is included in the package. Otherwise it will not be on the car.

Does anyone have any information on this issue?

Thanx in advance

Yes, its a no cost option on the chilli pack but you do have to tick the box for it.

The demo car i drove didn't have it and felt adequate, but i specced it anyway. Now i have the car i don't regret for a second speccing it as the standard suspension would have been too soft

Yes it's true - you have to specifically state that you want sports suspension. Although it is free of charge, it's assumed you do not want it.

Do many people go without it?

For some people it's too firm. Personally I spec'ed it and wouldn't do without

i did order the car on 20th Dec. Production of February and delivery in March. Will I be able to add this option?

thanx

same here. I got used to the stiffness of the R50 on 17" wheels with sports and even with Sports Suspension on the new one its a little softer, but not too much

You need to get on to your dealer ASAP as you may have gone past the point of no return with the spec

hi everyone,
just came back from my dealer. they were certain that my car will have sport suspension, regardless of the fact that I did not specifically mention it. Ordering the Chilli Pack is enough they said.

They also say that it is a particular agreement of BMW Greece, as otherwise it would be mentioned that I have to particularly mention it.

It seems that it will all become clear when the car arrives and I see the specification in the key-reader function at the dealer

[Woody'sCooper]

Perhaps its a standard fit item with the chilli pack then, but it isn't in the UK

All Cooper S'come with SS+ as standard

In Sweden it´s also free of charge (when ordering the Chili-pack) but you still have to order it/"tick the box".

[caesar]

In the UK you have to tick the box if you want SS, as I had 17" wheels and run-flats I decided not to have it as the suspension might be too hard. The car is great without it.

MAKE SURE you pay the extra for LSD (Limited Slip Differential).

I have already ordered the LSD and the sport button. Sounds great fun
