What is the Chilli pack?

[300bhp/ton]

Looking at a CS but not sure about the Chilli pack. The MINI website or brochure don't really explain it at all.

Selecting it just seems to add a lot to the price and not give me the spec I want


Anyone able to clarify what exactly it is??

Thanks.

chilli pack is basically a load of options all bundled together - the contents differ depending of if your buying cooper or S - Details are on the website.

Cooper

Cooper S

You can spec all the bits individually if you don't want some of it - but it'll probably cost more. You then obviously add anything extra you want.

I'd say chilli on a mini is pretty much minimum spec come resale time.....

It's BMW's crafty way of keeping the base price lower knowing full well that you need the Chilli Pack to make it to the spec it should be.
We de-specced the suspension bit as my wife thought it was firm enough on the run-flats anyway.

On a cooper-s chilli pack is a must have.

You can get away with pepper on a cooper, but obviously not having that option on the S, the chill is a given.

+1 for Chili pack being an essential on the Cooper S - you wouldn't be able to sell one without for anything like as much... Gives you the important options like automatic air con, 17" wheels etc. I'd upgrade to the full leather as well, the "part leather" is a cop out as it's literally only a couple of small parts of the front seats and hardly any of the back seats.

Glass's and the other valuation guide publishers also list cars with Chilli packs as different models, so the resale value holds up better than just buying individual options which the guide price won't recognise.
