Hi people,I have some questions regarding my mini that some of the more informed members of the site might be able to help me with. Infact probably a 2 year old will know these.What with me being a mini virgin 'n all....
Ok here goes.
1.What is the difference between a mini cooper s and a mini cooper s chili?
2.My spec sheet says that i have cd changer prep! is that just a cable run into the boot for a multi-changer?
3.What is a "smoker pack"?
4.What is the difference between "sports suspension" and "sports suspension plus"
5.Is "radio boost" a good or a bad stereo?
6.What is the current temp in mexico city?
Ok forget the last one.I'm just very,very nosy about me new mowta!
Thanks in advance folks.:D

1) both same car basically, chilli means it has the chilli pack of extras spec'd when purchased.
2) cd changer prep is exactly that, cables etc ready and sitting waiting for you to pay for a cd changer to be fitted :p
3) smoker pack is the wee ashtray (i use it for change :p) and lighter i believe (although i could be wrong)
4) sports suspension is standard on the S i think but cooper owners can spec it as an upgrade, sports plus is just a wee bit stiffer and lower etc (sportier ;)) as far as i know, i.e an in between from sports to jcw.
5) boost is a good stereo, so is the wave. Standard sound systems in minis are decent enough.
6) http://uk.weather.com/weather/local/MXDF0132?x=0&post=post&code=code&y=0 current temp in mexico city.

Sports suspension was standard on the Cooper and SS plus, on the MINI, I thought?

1.What is the difference between a mini cooper s and a mini cooper s chili?
a different coloured dash board and a limited slip diff off the top of my head thats all i can remember for the cooper s
2.My spec sheet says that i have cd changer prep! is that just a cable run into the boot for a multi-changer? spot on sweeney their tied back with masking tape
3.What is a "smoker pack"? yep thats correct sweeney :P
4.What is the difference between "sports suspension" and "sports suspension plus" sounds about right.. never really looked into it tbh
5.Is "radio boost" a good or a bad stereo? ttheir ok not as good as anything above £80 from halfords generally
6.What is the current temp in mexico city? too bloody hot... and not enough rain.... :p

I think that if you don't get the smokers pack, you don't get a 12v charger in the dash (which is a bind if you want to charge a portable sat nav when on the move). For this reason we went for the smokers pack

No, you get the 12V socket - you don't get a fag lighter but a plastic cover over it.

You don'y get the ashtrat, which is removeable and can be used for carrying coins etc.
