Hello everyone. I am new to this forum and just wanted to say hello......

I really like a new MCS and I have not purchased it yet. I am just thinking when to buy and what options do i have to choose, but most likely I am going to be buying sooner or later. Once I got my MCS I will post my MCS and I am glad to be here.

Hello and welcome.
Choosing options on a mini is a very personal experience. I read the forums for over a month determining which options I wanted for my MC. There is a wealth of knowledge here from mini owners that can make your decisions easier. It all depends on how much you are willing to spend on your mini and which features mean the most to you. I know that when I ordered mine, I love gadgets. I also have a long commute. This made the nav, hi-fi, and all those packages a no brainer. I picked pdc because it looks great on the nav screen. I picked rear fog due to the fog in the cajon pass. I do not wish someone to hit me. Heated seats are great for long commutes. I regularly drive home at night here in so cal with the sunroof open, the heater on 78 and the seat on level 2. A great ride home from L.A. to Victorville. You will love the lifetime sirius radio and the HD audio. Great station choices here in l.a. for HD radio. Regardless, you cant go wrong.
Oh and I really believe that Mellow Yellow is the fasted color!

Best of Luck!

Welcome,
There are threads on dealers if you haven't picked one yet. I live in OC and I used Crevier. Some hate them others like them. That being said if you look at any dealer you will get the same response.

Welcome to the madness! There are good and bad I've read about both Irvine and Crevier. I bought from Irvine, sometimes feel like kicking myself for that decision (lack of loaner cars while in service).... Have fun with the process!

I bought mine from Crevier about a week and a half ago. No real complaints, aside from the typical car dealership stuff. If you are looking to order, I've read some good reviews about South Bay Mini being a no-hassle, MSRP dealership, might want to check them out too.

Oh yeah, and welcome to the board
