Go for it! BRG is such a classic colour that there will always be someone who likes it - just as you do. You have to choose a colour that you will enjoy driving without worrying about what the next owner might be looking for. I think the tan interior is just fabulous and oozes class!

Hi..
BRG is quite simply the best colour for any Mini..
I may be a little biased..

It's a fantastic "classic" colour for "British" sports cars and personally on the Mini I feel only solid Black could compete, so I have the roof.....

Dark Silver......is popular but waaaaaaaay too common - who cares about what "dealers" say re colour and resale value.
It's a crock........a BRG Mini in immaculate condition will sell for better money than a DS that has been treated poorly - condition/history etc will always be more important to people who actually know and care about cars.

Anyway.........BRG looks amazing especially when it's freshly detailed and waxed - here's my baby last night (quick camera phone pic).
I've just had her paintwork lovingly attended to by Nathan Willits from cambridgeautogleam.com

I haven't introduced my S to the site properly yet but will do in the next few days when I've managed to get some sunny and interior/engine bay shots - and maybe added another coat of wax to make the flake pop right out of that glorious BRG..

Cheers, Geoff.

BRG rocks OK.......had to be the first colour choice in my book and it looks brill with the white roof. I agree with other posts,if you (and we ) like it ,someone else will like it enough to buy it when you sell it on.

and the black roof is the way to go!!

[BrianDromey]

Its rare, but clearly has a loyal following!

Personally I like it very much, especially because MINI has a lot of Blue colors, red white silver and black are also very popular and not very individual.

Looks best offset with a white roof, IMHO!

That's a beautiful example of BRG

Thanks..

I've just finally had the time to "remove" the original owner from the car and get her into my "state of ownership" so to speak over the last few weeks having been delayed by other commitments etc.

I will do a full introduction post in the next week or two once I finish all my detailing jobs and get a bunch of good pics together - she really is lovely........pretty much every option and you could now eat off the engine or wheel- arches

Cheers, Geoff.

That's a nice example "drainaudio" yours too "skat", in-fact they all look good, I've always liked BRG .

Is that your replacement "Lolance" or just an example pic .

[Tracie]

I have to agree that the BRG is the best colour for shine when given a good detailing.

Just take a look at this pic of my old Cooper, and yes it was BRG

Memories......

Muchos gracias just saving pennies now to get some white bonnet stripes and looking for inspiration for a roof decal, so I can make her really mine........

all mine RR, it's the new one!!

Loving all the BRG's on here, this is becoming a bit of a BRG roll call...

[andrewcregan]

Not my first choice, or I would have bought one! Saw a lovely example the other day though - BRG with White roof - looked really good . Doesn't appear to be a very popular colour, just going by the colours I see on the road

[Buffster Bird]

This my BRG/White MINI. I like the colour a lot and would get another one in the same colour when I need to replace her.

[RooniusMaximus]

I have to say it's not my favourite colour - but then I work in London and I'm fed up of seeing Foxton's Minis everywhere.

That said, a clean one with some nice Chrome detailing as pictured above does look excellent. My choice came down to what would look good with a Union Jack on the roof.

[MINIMAT]

The BMW Mini is based on a classic car and the colour is a classic colour. So if you are buying a Mini for retro reasons why not? I like it because it's not as common as the other colours so seeing another BRG Mini is a bit special.

[curenz]

Thought I'd post my MCS Works as well Love the colour of our car!

[ontheroadagain]

I'll post a photo of my BRG/BLK after I take delivery on Monday.

Color is such a personal thing. Choose what you like and really enjoy - don't worry about the next person. I loved my Indi Blue and still have incredibly nostalgic memories (sounds silly perhaps), then I bought the PW/BLK and honestly I did that to save the $ on the non metallic paint. I should never have done that - I'm not that poor and although I do like the classic look of it - it was never "me".

This Clubman I'm picking up on Monday is a color combo that caught my eye a few years ago when a BRG/BLK MCS zipped up behind me on the highway and I thought - "Now that is a beauty." Everyone that knows me was sure I'd choose Lightening Blue this time around - and I almost did but then that British Racing Green's siren song called me.

Sony - do let us know what you decide, OK?

Like the look of this one:

Mini : Mini Cooper S Cabriolet

Thanks for your help!

I love BRG on the hatchback MINI (I owned a BRG classic Mini years ago, and it was magic), and if you want to buy the hatchback, no hesitation - do it ! There is one that parks across the road from my office, and it looks fantastic.

But I have to say I don't like it on the Cabriolet .... it's the green hood that really looks out of place .... If you could get it with a black hood instead, that would be fine.

[Mini_me]

I love BRG - always have Mini or not. Maybe it's something to do with the racing heritage. I just han't realised until now that it wasn't as popular as some of the other colours. Won't stop me from choosing BRG when it comes to the next Mini though.
