Agree seems a strange spec, although I'm one to talk, I suspect I have ended up with an oddly speced car, which now worries me slightly when it comes time to sell it. At the time I wanted to keep costs down and resisted any "sales" attempts although I would have been interested in the spread sheet mentioned in the petrolblog article. I did try to add auto wipers/lights to mine but it was too late.
For the curious among you my spec is:
Mini One Petrol Manual
Blazing Red (Wife's choice)
Body colour mirror caps
Colour Line - Glowing Red
Rear parking sensors (my choice due to wife's reversing

)
Sports steering wheel
Multi function steering wheel controls (didn't want/need cruise control, but think it is very useful and safer to have controls on steering wheel for stereo and phone)
Chrome line exterior (good value on a One because it covers several items that are standard on cooper even though it's the same price)
Storage compartment pack
16" Loop spoke alloys
