Hello from NYC!

Just ordered a MCS on Thursday after much agonizing over colors and options. Thanks for all the great info on this forum. So here's the rundown:

Mini Cooper S
Manual transmission
Pepper White body, Black roof
Black sport stripes
Chrome line exterior
Rear fog light
Premium+Convenience+Cold Weather+Sport packages (with web spoke wheels)

Chrome line interior
Piano black dash
Creamy white interior
Black lounge leather
Navigation+HD+Satellite
Limited slip differential

I went back and forth on the chrome line exterior, but decided to stick with it in the end. I started out with the "less is more" philosophy on options, but the items I really wanted came in different packages and it turned out to be more economical to just order the packages. Plus, once the NAV is added (which was one of my must haves), it seemed like you had to add a lot of other options automatically. The only thing I wish I had given a little more thought to was the anthracite headliner. I didn't really notice the color of the headliner when I was sitting in the demo, and I didn't ask whether the demo had the anthracite or not.

All in all, I'm very happy with my choices and can't wait. I've checked the owner's lounge about 10 times today. My MA said delivery should be sometime in mid-July. I am psyched!!!!!!!

I'm looking forward to agonizing with my fellow production week mates
