Adieu Electric Blue, NOT Indi Blue?

In the past couple of weeks, I have heard from a variety of local sources (the two MINI dealerships in the Greater Vancouver Area, other local MINI owners with good connections to BMW/MINI) that it's not going to be Indi Blue that will be axed, but Electric Blue, in favour of the new Hyper Blue colour.

Has anyone else heard the same thing from their MINI connections? If so, post in this thread. Let's keep a head count going till either Paul (Mullett) gets the low-down on the truth (or rumour) of the whole she-bang, or till MINI makes an official announcement!

So its electric blue now????

Shame to see either of them go really. Indi blue is a great colour.


Some say he loves gaming and that he also loves house work..... All we know is, he's called The ScottyB!

So it will be even more exclusive !!

I really doubt this is true, as EB was so popular that they have made it available across the range

Question Electric Blue - US????

Someone please clear this up for me... I know they're not bringing back Indy Blue in the US - but is it true that they're also getting rid of Electric Blue in the US? Please help!!!

Ummm... I just talked to three dealers - no EB for 2005... I think you'll be able to get in UK, but not here... If the dealers are wrong - please let me know!!!!!!!
Thanks Paul...I hope you're right!

If you dont trust me, www.mini.com (international site) has the information. Electric Blue is going across the range, not leaving us.

Well - it is officially official - straight from MINI's Mouth... the following is the response I received when inquiring on mini.com (int'l) re: Electric Blue

We appreciate your interest in MINI and I see you are interested in a 2005 model year with Electric Blue. Unfortunately, MINI is discontinuing the production of Electric Blue and it will not be offered for the 2005 model year. You may wish to contact the MINI dealer in your area to see if they have an Electric Blue MINI in their inventory. I hope this helps.

Let us know if you have any more questions. If so, please respond to this e-mail or contact the Customer Relations Department at 1-866-ASK-MINI, Monday through Friday from 9:00 A.M. to 9:00 P.M., Eastern Standard Time.


So - no Electric Blue in the USA from now on...Yet still available in Europe on all models... Now the search is on for a dealer that can still order 2004 S'sss....

Gotta love the inconsitencies!

Hmmmmm

Worldwide, not just Europe. It's on most of the site's information for '05s! I never realised that NA (or maybe just USA) would be losing it.
