Ordered a DS/B MCS with Sport Package, Premium Package, Convenience Package, LSD, Black Sports Stripes, Tinting, and extra headlamps. Expecting car to arrive mid to late October...Don't know what support group that makes me a part of, but I'm stoked!!!

 

...As well you should be!

Congratulations on your order!

 

Congrats on your order and welcome to NAM where the MINI obsessed hang out. Tis a cool place and will help pass the time till your MINI berths.

 

Woot! Just heard from my sales dude...Apparently my car is being born this week!!! Also, what do people think of Black 18" JCW wheels to go with DS/B with black sport stripes? Too much black, or look good?

 

I think the 18" is a little much

but I don't think it'll be too much black..not at all!

 

was your car a 2008 or 2009? if a 2009 with Sport Package, how did you get it this early? i thought sport package was delayed until at least December....

 

Car is an 09...First I've heard that the sport package wasn't available. Dealer never said anything about it when I ordered it, so I assumed everything was jammy.

 

Yea I would double check with your MA, simply because I ordered a 2009 with Premium & Sport Packages and was told at the earliest December for build and Febuary for delivery.... and that is backed up by MINIUSA.com, which states the "Sport Package" as a whole is not available until Dec 08. You can, of course, get everything else minus the DTC now though. But, I'm so ridiculous that I want it to be the whole package.... So, yea, you might want to double check. Because you might not be getting what you think.

 

Talked to my dealer (that sounds illegal), he said that the availability of the Sport Package before December was a problem with American distribution only, and that my 09 MCS w/ sport package will be here in Canada as ordered late October.

 

Oh you lucky Canadians!! Well, congratulations, you'll get yours wayyy sooner than me. Hope you enjoy it!
