I think it's a fairly rare/low volume color, but oddly enough I've seen two BRG S around here, and they both looked excellent.

 

I think most people who orderd BRG got Dark Silver

I have to say I like BRG on R56 then R53. The lines of the new car seams to suit it well .

And its stunning in real life .

I'd have to disagree...keep in mind that these pics don't do my 'S' justice!

 

Nice pics Jim, love that interior :nice:

 

BRG I think is my fave colour after Pepper White. And obviously, the interior is fantastic

 

lovely congrats!

 

I think BRG its a bit out of vogue at the moment - but it will probably come back again.

MGF was last car that it was a popular colour for.

 

I ordered BRG and I honestly think its the worst looking color on the mini. Its always been a favorite color of mine but not on a car. I have not seen one on the road in my area and I believe I will be rare and one of the few driving a mini where I live. I think with black roof and mirrors people will know a male is driving. However, I still think white is a better match but I love being different.

 

Thankd for the positive comments everyone. There must be someone else on MINI2 that has taken delivery of a BRG R56 MCS and is not just waiting for their's to arrive



Why have you ordered the colour that you think looks worst even though it will be rare, doesn't make sense? Maybe you should have got a Mellow Yellow instead since it is also rare and according to what you have posted is a better colour than BRG.

What do you mean by - having black roof and mirrors will let people know a male is driving?

Cheers

Jim

 

i have a BRG w/ black roof & stripes on order! :biggrin:

 

BRG is awesome. It seems to just ooze class! My second choice would be black/white roof and stripes, and dark blue third. Nice pics of the OP's car by the way....

 

I didn't explain myself well enough. All the color choices for the mini look awesome. I have not seen the color scheme I have ordered. I was just doubting my choice. I'm over it. BRG, DS are the only colors I considered. As for the male driving comment, my wife put those words in my mouth.

Ah, fair enough, just seemed weird the way you worded it in your first post. To be honest my wife does drive the car most of the time, I only get to play with it at the weekend

Seems not my friend. Cotgo and i may be the only ones representing the BRG R56 here in the US, and yourself overseas.

I've seen a few first generation BRGs around my area, usually with a white top. I was torn between BRG and DS, after seeing both in person at the dealer i went with my gut, it was saying BRG from the beginning.

I agree with Cotgo's wife, BRG/B is a pretty masculine color; compare it to a MY/W, wouldn't you agree? It could be a US thing but we are raised with predispositions to certain colors.

I like the subtle difference between the BRG and the Black top, i didn't want a car that would scream "look at me," especially with the high concentration of uptight fuzz we have in my area.

:green:

I guess you could say that the black is a bit more masculine (maybe not so much in the UK maybe) but I personally prefer the classic BRG/white combo, each to their own, the world would be a boring place otherwise!

Don't worry about the fuzz, just head for the twisties, they'll never keep up with you're go-kart in their huge lumbering cruisers!!

Fantastic looking car mini_jim! :biggrin:

I haven't got mine yet (getting built this week), but when I ordered in November I was never in doubt - it had to be a BRG!

Cheers mate, have fun when you get her

Jim

 

Ordered on Feb 6th, in production and scheduled to be completed on March 8th. I'm hoping for good weather after the 8th and to take delivery first week in April. I've never been this excited for a car. However, I'm praying I don't get one of the cars I tested last week. (sunroof noise when closed). Most of the people taking delivery now have not reported a problem so let's hope it was taken care of.

Anyone recently taken delivery of a BRG MCS??

Saw one on the way home last night on the A415 south of Marcham with black roof, was it you??

Echo, echo, echo...

Jim

 

Not an MCS but I love my BRG MC R56 ! This one has a white roof. Previously had chilli red/black and solid gold/black. Most people seem to think BRG is the best I've had

 

Another MC BRG on order here, for my wife with white roof and bonnet stripes, glad we're not alone!

 

Gratters ! Have you gone for white wheels ? I was going to as I think they look the dog's b's but my dealer talked me out of them saying cars with white wheels are more difficult to sell on,

 

I haven't seen any BRG MCS on the road. I think it is a great colour but I would probably have a different colour on my next MINI, I like a bit of a change.

 

INDI BLUE has to be rarer than brg..

 

Here a dutch BRG, my third in this color, iom the most distinguised

 

Nice..

Is that lounge leather I see? Would have liked that myself but was already at the limit of my budget

Jim

 

another BRG owner here is a Mini one with half lether s spokes aero kit k@n filter n quicksilver exhaust soon to be changed down at lohen for a miltek one

Is buy fare the best colour!!!!!!!!!!

 

There is a BRG Cooper in Witney

Jim your not the only one around there At lest yours is an S tho

 

Newbie here. MCS ordered & built awaiting shipment to California. BRG with black top and stripes. Extremely psyched about it. I haven't seen any BRG Mini's here in Los Angeles, although I'm sure there are a few.

 

Brg

I ordered a BRG MCS when ordering my 06 MCS , but switched at the last minute to Dark Silver with Silver roof, Silver scoop, and v-stripe. BRG is a great color and in my opinion looks great with a white roof and beige interior.

 

Been a while, any more out there?

 

Here i come! I'm Nick,from Italy, and i currently own a previous generation mc checkmate, i'd planned to keep her for a while,but i couldn't resist to the new mcs!
As lons as they don't do a nice,elegant blue as mine (space blue) anymore, i went for brg with black mirrors and roof,because it's a rare combo and i think it's subtle and yet it suits the R56 shape.I'm afraid i can't post any pic because i've just ordered the mcs and she'll arrive by the end of august,i'd love to see some real-world pictures of my colour scheme,'cause by now i've only seen it in the mini website,anyway in a short time i'll add my name to the glorious British Racing Green Owners Club!
Cheers

 

dont have mine yet is due in a couple of weeks

but it is BRG

to paraphrase Highlander

There can be only 1 colour!

 

Been a while, any more out there yet?
