Well I was happily wiring up LED strips inside my Coopie today. And came down to dremeling a square piece out under my rocker switch in the console..... When the damnedest thing happened. I dremel'd into my switch assembly circuit board for the sport/DSC buttons located under the console. Can you say..... S***!!!!! Well I put the Cup holder piece back in after taking the switch assembly out. My rocker switch for the LED strips is located between the cup holders center line with Lighter. Well I found the part number which is "61303422722" and there is nowhere to buy it online except from Russia...but I cannot understand the site. But managed to convert the currency and found that it costs $50. Not a huge hit....I was expecting more. I am just glad I did not hit the Molex connection harness. So gonna hit up Checkered Flag tomorrow and get the part on order and get everything squared away. But the lights look nice. I will post pictures after everything is said and done lol. Yeh I am P*ssed.. but still laughing at how stupid I was not to check and see what was there.  076  075

Now what am I going to do this week without sport mode????  icon_eek

This is like death without sport mode. I use it all the time. I saw on NAM there is a kit being sold for a "Always On" to tap in with. Gonna have to hit that up for sure after I get the replacement piece.

Man, that sucks.  Only suggestion I can make is to search E-Bay.  There are several switch units available.  Use the keywords "mini cooper switch."

Not what I was looking for though. This was... "http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=MM33&mospid=50627&btnr=61_2132&hg=61&fg=35&hl=14".
