hi...

also, ich meine mich zu erinnern, dass ich in einer älteren MOT-ausgabe, in der über die entwicklung des cooper s berichtet wurde, der MINI-entwicklungschef gesagt hat, dass das SMG ausdrücklich und ohne probleme zu verwirklichen wäre...

ansonsten stehen für den amerikanischen markt schon änderungen (fast) fest:

"MINI USA is pleased to announce the changes for the 2004 model year beginning with the recently received September allocation. Little has changed from MY03 in terms of the vehicles,..but a lot has changed in the way you can order them."

For MY 04 the Cooper and Cooper S will have the following changes:

850 - Pepper White for Cooper S

903 - Velvet Red deleted for Cooper (need to make room for future convertible colors)

T3CB - Cordoba Beige available in sport seats (Cooper and Cooper S)

255 - 3 Spoke Leather Sport Steering Wheel (Phase in 12/1/03 for Cooper and Cooper S)

240 - Leather Basic Steering Wheel (Phase out 11/30/03 for Cooper)

STD - Rear Power Socket will return as standard

STD - Digital Speed Read-out in Tach will be standard (switch between Temp and Speed)

550 - On Board Computer will also include an instantaneous fuel consumption function

476 - Magnesium Door Casing will be dropped for Cooper S

"Other Key points to note are that as of 12/03 Rear Fog Lights will be a factory orderable option (Option # TBD) and in the mean time a dealer installed accessory Rear Fog Light kit is being developed to coincide with the September MY04 changeover."

"All of these new items will complement the existing options and packages,..and pricing will be announced shortly."
