Call a MINI dealer and give them the VIN. They will be able to tell you a lot with that info.

I'd give MINI USA a call 866-ASK-MINI with the VIN to get to the bottom of this.

RealOEM.com will identify whether it is Euro or USA spec.
Enter the last 7 letters/digits of the VIN here: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/select.do -

Yep, there is nothing in the law that says a dealer can't be a moron. Some of them have been known to be very successful at that capability.:cryin: -

I would have been very surprised to see a Euro spec car in the states, it's not expensive enough to warrant the shipping cost, importation fees etc, not to mention getting it compliant would be big bux.....and frankly I doubt it would ever clear customs.

I've seen a few MINI's with this happen. They have all been US spec cars that soldiers bought while overseas then shipped them back after their tour was up. Not a big deal. But I can tell you they have no warranty in the US.
