Give MINI USA a call with the last 7 characters of the VIN, ask what packages the car had on delivery. 866-ASK-MINI.
They can tell you what how the car was equipped when delivered, what the in service date was and who the delivering dealer was.

I dont think the LSD was available for the MCS untill 05. So more than likely your 03 Mini does not have a LSD unless the previous owner included it with aftermarket mods.

Chili package is a MINI UK thing. There is no Chili package in the US. We have premium and sports packages. All of them are just a collection of individual options.

Thank's Jason, I'm new to this and just trying to find out more about my Cooper S.

Sent a e-mail to BMW MINI of Sterling,Va. as this was the original seller of my car and ask them to notify me of what was ordered new on my car so I would know. Also called Road Show MINI in Cordova,Tenn. to ask about reprogramming the key as the battery had been dead for who knows how long, was told I have to make a appt: to bring it in but found 2 different ways online on how to reprogram the key. But my car only came with 1 key and was told it would cost me around $190.00 + the trip to Cordova, Tenn.

Yes they referred me to the original dealer in Va.

I believe you are correct. I sort of remember that being a GB package. Although my memory is not as good as it once..... :sleep:

From the research that I have been able to do the Chilli package on the '03 models was a U.K. option only but was basically the suspension that came on the S models with the Supercharger.
