: Coming Back - Maybe!
DaiB Mar 23rd, 2012, 01:55 PM Hi All
Haven't been here since getting rid of my R53 MINI Cooper S in 2007. I've got a BMW 116i Sport 3 door at the moment and am thinking of coming back to MINI. Specced up a Cooper Bayswater in Midnight Black. It's got a great spec as standard - Chilli, full leather, two-tone 17" wheels etc. If I go for it will add Chromeline Exterior (free), Sun Protection Glass, Antrhracite Headlining, Auto Lights/Wipers and White Indicators.
Looks great on the configurator, any opinions welcome.

The Bayswater does look nice... are you not tempted by Kite Blue? I'm excited to see it in the metal as it looks totally different in most of the pictures I've seen online, but I think it has potential to look brilliant. :D
That said, you can't go wrong with Midnight Black. :cool:

That's the trouble I've been having too, the Kite Blue looks different in various photos and I could end up regretting ordering it without seeing it. With the Midnight Black though, I thought all the Bayswater bits look nice and subtle.
minicore Mar 23rd, 2012, 06:50 PM I had my fingers crossed that it'd look like BMW Laguna Seca Blue which is basically my favourite car colour ever... it certainly looked that way in a few of the configurator images! The best actual pictures I've seen, colour-wise, are here (https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.346626028715962.82513.100001057030271&type=3) - not quite what I was expecting, but nice all the same! :D
uppy Mar 23rd, 2012, 09:46 PM I might be coming back too, first and last here in 2003 many many many many cars since, and now contemplating an R56 JCW mapped/unmapped as a fun car to complement my motorway motor we will see.
Welcome to any thinking of a return, it's fun looking around I will be buying used and a few years old.

Not sure yet how long the wait is, will find out tomorrow.
Good luck with the search for yours.
