As for accessories. There are only 4:
LED Driving Lights (Installed at port)
Short Antenna (I bought from ECS)
Key Fob (I bought from ECS)
Phone Dock (I bought from German eBay)
I was surprised about two things that everyone misinformed me about:
1) The car does have a spare tire. It is not deleted with run flats!
2) The rear bike rack prep actually includes a wiring harness under the bumper, not just threads in the circular tow hook cut outs!
I love that it has all the options which are being deleted for 2016:
1) DVD Changer
2) Rear Fog Light
3) Homelink
4) Smoker's Pkg
5) Hidden Storage Compartment

I'm kind of glad all those accessories are being deleted from 2016. Except for the DVD changer, but i'm not sure you can operate the DVD driving anyways.
I have a mountain bike and will probably go the "roof rack" route. But not ruling out the "rear bike rack" prep. MY current car (370z) can't support either and I have to use a SeaSucker suction cup rack instead.
3 questions:
1) how long did it take you to wait from order to deliver?
2) What is the difference in antennas (is there one by default)?
3) How much is the phone dock normally?

2) The standard antenna is much longer. You can see it in the picture of the trunk sitting on the ground
3) The phone dock was about $250. I have not figured out its full functionality, but the fan in the arm rest to cool down the phone when it gets hot is cool.

Looks like a sweet ride, hope you enjoy yourself immensely!
Two questions:
1. Whats that port-looking thing on the underside of the car that seems to open up (theres two pictures)?
2. Whats the button on the right side of the steering wheel column with a number 2 on it? Guessing its part of the driving assistant package?
Thanks!

2) This is the button for the LED Driving lights mounted on the grille. It is not part of the driving assistant. The auto high beams are part of the active driving assistant and the switch is located on the left stalk below the BC button.

It's nice to see the options that I didn't get in-situ. Mine's pretty loaded, but yours is on another plane.
I love my F56, but the F54 Clubman has me feeling very jealous. That dash and the improved iDrive positioning, and the electric seats are really tugging at my "envy nerve." [slaps his own face]

I have configured 4 this morning most of the options you have 2 door Justa and S, 4door Justa and S Tried with the Grey Lounge leather instead of black grey door panels. Black get so hat in California. That Black interior still looks good. What is kinda funny is the almost 40K price tag......ON A MINI LOLBut you know I would do it. But at 73 years old my family might try to put me on the farm. I love that Blue

I don't think he got an automatic transmission (of all things). Love all the chrome, and the wheels. Stunning car. To think this Cooper cost the same as my JCW Coupe with AT! But you got all the gizmos and that interior rocks. Proof again that you can make your Mini yours. No two are alike. Nice job!

Jeesh! Nice build!
Were there any options you didn't have
Love the fact that a justa can make a base model JCW look ordinary. That's what MINI is all about.
It's pretty much the inverse of my car. I don't have any of the fancy options, but I got the S and Sport transmission. Then again, I wanted speed and handling over gadgetry, but boy, I love your car. It's glorious
