wait... that's not BRG

that's what my mechanic friend said when he first saw my 05 BRG R53, then he saw the stamp, this argument will never end, My vote is mini being manufactured in GB has the authority to call any color BRG, even if it is a Forrest Metallic

Rescued it from carmax, so far (3wks in) I have tinted it dark and just ordered the DDMworks intake. I just know i'm gonna need to get rid of the runflats and probably get BBS CH wheels when that happens. wow, apparently I will never have money ever again...

it's got 6spd(no lsd ) Nav, leatherette, xenon lights, fogs, high beam assist lights, pano sun roof.

I love it! Perfect car for San Diego, maybe i'll throw it around at a BMWCCA autoX soon...

that 'W' in my VIN code indicates my car was built in Germany, therefore it is indeed Bavarian Racing Green technically.
