I'm completely purplexed about the introduction of Black-Eyed Purple at the expense of Indi Blue... It just doesn't make any sense to me that MINI's would be offered in TWO black colors -- but that the very handsome INDI BLUE would have to bite the dust. Seems logical that they'd want to cover as much of the waterfront as possible and two blacks seems so redundant. Has the fuss over Pepper White pretty much settled down... are people loving it now, or is it still regarded as less than manly?

Interestly, the MINI International web site now has photos of the Black-Eyed Purple and it hardly looks like the photos of the convertable that showed up here... it looks much brighter... what's that about? You wouldn't even call it CLOSE to the photos on MINI2... or at least I wouldn't: it's on the MINI International site under INNOVATIONS under Customization...

i can't get the MINI website to open at school- no flash plug in

the only thing i wondered was whether you were looking at hyper blue rather than the black-eyed purple?

oh and the fuss over pepper white has not subsided

it's still a great colour. and can definitely be considered as unisex, there was a post about this in the general forum a couple of days ago... take a look in some of the galleries

it looks fantastic on an MCS

It is sad to see colours go. But I wouldn't worry too much.

The new hyper blue is pretty close to indi blue, just alittle lighter.

And Black-Eye Purple--if the UK site configurator is accurate--is fairly close to Indi Blue, just some purple mixed in.

What a Sexxxxxyy color tho!

And I'm an Indi Blue nut!! Jimbo

That looks really nice. The colour choices now are great, not that choosing the colours before was easy. I think that was the hardest decision of the lot.

according to a post in another thread from another knowledgable Mini-ite, BEP here in the US will be known as "Purple Haze." Whether this is true remains to be seen.

Wow, like seein' colors, MAN COLORS
