Hi, I live in NJ, USA and I'm thinking about buying a new Mini Cooper S, and I have a couple of questions:

1. I want my Mini exactly the way I want it. So if I create the Mini I want on MiniUSA and bring it to my Mini dealer, will they be able to order the exact Mini that I want?

2. How long will it take to get here?

3. I'm thinking about getting "Electric Blue", but I know they are discontinuing that color for the 2006 Model. When is the latest I can order a 2005 Mini in Electric Blue?

4. If I go for manual transmission should I get Dynamic Stability Control and/or Limited Slip Differential? I basically know nothing about what either of them do.

5. Are there going to be any price increases for the 2006 model?

6. Why are the silver R83 16" Wheels $726 more? The ones that come standard are also 16", so shouldn't they be around the same?

Thanks!
