Saw a really nice BRG S yesterday.

In Milton Keynes parked outside Marks & Spencer (in case you happen to see this!).

It wasn't a car I'd spec, but it had the leather lounge red seats, was in BRG with white roof and chromeline exterior/mirror caps etc and a chequered roof.

Completely not what I'd chose for myself, but it looked really, really nice!

BRG and also DS IMO are colours that actually look better on the R56 than the old MINI IMO, ones that I would never have considered before, but would if I was looking to buy a new MINI

The only problem I have is knowing which one to drive?

I figured BRG and the red lounge leather would look quite striking together (if perhaps a bit much, for some). Personally I wish the BRG wasn't metallic, in which case I think it would be one of the best colors in any combination.

I ordered LB but love the BRG also.

BRG, DS, and EB have been my fav colors. I got LB because of it's resemblance to EB

I think BRG looks even better on the new model for some strange reason - saw a BRG/W MCS last week and it was very, very cool.

Spotted the same car today outside Waitrose multi storey car park in MK. I think the R56 looks great in BRG, still speccing our new R56 MC, may switch from AB/AB to BRG/WR with white bonnet stripes. I don't suppose anyone has any pics of a MC in that colour scheme, only seen MCS so far. The dealers tell me BMW dictate what cars colours are put in the showrooms and BRG isn't one of them? On the off chance, I'm in Herts, if anyone knows of a dealer with a BRG MC in the showroom can you let me know, cheers!
