"All new for 2005, the MINI convertibles join the line-up. The convertible comes standard with a fully automatic convertible top that incorporates a heated rear glass window. The roof also has an integrated power sliding sunroof feature. In addition to front air bags, convertibles offer side air bags. Both Cooper and Cooper S have been refreshed for 2005 including new headlights, taillights, radiator grill, interior lights, more storage and new trim options. The Cooper gets new bumpers, front and rear. Both cars get revised gearing for better acceleration and the S gets increased horsepower. A Chrono gauge pack is now available providing analog read-outs for oil, temperature and pressure along with fuel and coolant. The speedometer joins the tachometer on the steering column when this option is selected."
