Hello
I am on the verge of taking the plunge on a Clubman S. I have decided on Hot Choc w/black wheels: however, the interior is what is holding me up. I dont want the interior to be black. I thinking of using the English oak for dash/door and go w/hot choc lounge or the polar beige cloth/leather. I was hoping some one could point me to some pics of the hot choc interior and/or interiors of hot choc cars for some help.
By the way, my name is Scott and live in central Pa.
Thanks for any help/insight.
Scott

I happen to like my Clubman S with all of its extras, Check out my Gallery.
Mine is a 2009 though, But I still love it.
I have the Conv, Cold Weather, Premium packages, and Hot Choc lounge leather.
After the color choices, take your time and choose the packages that you like. I thought about the sport package, the ride was a bit too harsh/ stiff for my tastes. Xenon headlights I wish I had, untill 1 lights goes out, I think they cost around $400.00 each to replace. That would be very close to a complete set of tires.

 

gepperso/UAL thanks. Last night I spent some time going through the galleries and reached the letter "J". I came across Chris's and your gallery gepperso. I think that comb is sharp and looks great.
I was thinking about the xenon lights but I may have to reconsider taking into the account of repair costs.
The hardest part is making the final decision and pulling the trigger. I should be buying a Jetta sportwagen TDI but I saw a clubman and it caught my eye. So I went to the dealer to check it out and it doesnt really make to best choice for me but I really liked the whole pkg. I previously thought the cooper to be a little "over the top" but as it turns out, except for that speedometer, it is cool design.
I am rationalizing this choice with the increased utility of the clubman and the fun factor.

Doesn't the warranty cover if your xenon's go out?

 

The Xenons "Might" be covered but only for the warranty period. I will be putting Silver Stars in mine soon.

Hey R3 You might want to do what I did when I purchased my Clubman. First of all the Clubman is very usefull size, just drop the back seats and it all turns to cargo room. I went to the dealership and made them an offer on the (Service Department Loaner) They were about to sell it. They had started loaning it out to people Feb 2009, I brought it July 27, 2009. It is a 2009 Clubman S with all of the bells and whistles. Lounge Leather Cold Weather package, Premium package, Convience package, Blue Tooth, USB I-Pod audio jack, Multi function Stearing Wheel with Paddle shifters.
Bottom line My Clubbie had 7,200 miles on it when I brought it, I was able to get $7,200.00 off of the list price, And my warranty started at 7,200 miles, I got it all in writing. This is just somthing you might want to consider, They needed to get rid of the "USED" car and I was able to make a great deal.
When it was all said and done with my trade in I financed just about 15k at 1.9% interest rate. The car listed for a little over 32k.
I just wanted to let you know this so it might help. Alot of times some of the high end (Service Loaners) tease people to let them see what thay could have in a MINI, That is the car I made an offer on... Just food for thought

 

Feel free to check out my gallery!

Very cool. I like that color combo.
For 11 they are not offering that interior color. Instead its called Polar Beige and its more tan in color. I am not normally so indecisive; however, the configurator on the mini site does not do a very good job of color representation (mybe its my screen) and too many options. Just used to black or tan. If the color samples in the dealership are accurate, I am leaning towards HC lounge, English oak dash, and polar beige color line. Second choice would be polar beige leather/cloth, carbon black door, EO, and PB color Line.

Thanks!

I've seen that color combo in person at the dealer and it looks great! Actually, I take that back...the color line was HC, not PB. Here's a link to it with pics: http://www.hendrickmini.com/VehicleDetails/855780383
