Waiting anxiously on a Countryman S

Hi all,

I placed an order for a Light Coffee Countryman S yesterday after a ton of research and test drives... Not to mention perusing this forum for weeks to get all the info possible

Can't wait to start motoring 6 to 8 weeks from now!

Tell us what options you ordered and where you're at so we can gauge the time it will take to get there (West coast cars take a couple of weeks longer...).

Hendrick Mini in Charlotte was awesome for those in the area

I'm not sure yet... Trying to find other options besides what Mini provides.

Any advice would be appreciated!

I ordered my light coffee w/ a black roof on 1/23, and it's on its way from the VDC to my dealer right now! I ordered the standard bonnet stripes, but after doing that I found lots of other options on these forums that I wish I had chosen. I plan to enjoy the standard ones for awhile, and then have a little fun with the other ones later. I've heard they're not hard to remove. One of the places I learned about this week from another forum member was https://www.mini-graphics.co.uk/
They have a section for the countryman with some awesome looking stripes and other graphics.

My son just moved to Charlotte about a month ago for his first job after college. I'll be on the lookout for your light coffee when I visit! If you see a crazy lady waving from one with GA plates, its me!
