MINI2

I have to say that I am coming round to the idea of a sunroof. Now the rear section also tilts - just makes more sense than the current version.

Cant wait till we start doing the new Price list for the R56. We do the current ones about once every 6 weeks atm

Washy · Jul 27th, 2006, 07:40 PM

The more I look at the details. The more E90 I see in the new MINI. Even the radio menu display looked very familiar.....

mad brummie · Jul 27th, 2006, 08:30 PM

looking good at the mo, i'll be 2.5-3 years till my next change if i change at all.

Maybe I ought to head out to the girlie thread......?

WxSquid · Jul 27th, 2006, 11:23 PM

Okay, for various reasons I won't go into here, this may end up being an 07 MCS instead of the 2008 JCW. (Any rumor/opinion if the JCW would be an add-on kit as well at the start?)

2007 MCS
BRG/W w/ Bonnet Stripes of some sort...

(We'll package as MINIUSA sees fit...)

Sport Package
Sunroof
Auto A/C
H/K (or just say top-line stereo)
Chrono Pack
Manual
Rear fogs
Xeons

... to start with. More to spec as I go.

(This thread will help me get through the next 4 months of "travel" I have coming up. )

AprilWhine · Jul 27th, 2006, 11:43 PM

Doug, BRG didn't make the "keep" list on Paul's list of colors. Might be a good idea to choose a backup.

Olly. · Jul 28th, 2006, 12:08 AM

According to 4Car's review, keyless entry will be an option

WxSquid · Jul 28th, 2006, 01:03 AM

Hmmm.... hearing from the dealer that BRG is sticking around, but they also thought the car was losing 180lbs - if you catch my drift.

SS or CR would be okay as well.... or PS, JB, MY... LB, etc.

ACK!!! ;D

WxSquid · Jul 28th, 2006, 01:40 AM

Okay, either NR/W or LiB/B ... oh, and the keyless entry and cold package.

It actually snows where I'm getting transferred to.

Ah, your willpower to wait for the JCW is weakening

Colour is actually undecided, as is the final list of options

I'm thinking one of the blues now. Either Lightning or Oxygen. It was Oxygen in the press shots wasn't it?

I'm not going to see one before deciding what goes on it

Welcome to my world.... I specc'd my cab having neither seen one in the flesh nor having even driven a MINI

The cars at the drive and in the photos are Laser. Oxygen is non-metallic.
