Hello All,

Joined last week and wanted to say hi and thanks for the hospitality and great info so far. I currently own a 2003 M3 (for sale, BTW) and I have found the M3forum a priceless resource. I am getting the same feeling about this site.

Welcome and congrats on the new Countryman!

It's neat how many BMW drivers come over to MINI. I had a 2003 330ci, and while it was a fabulous car, my MINI is my fav.

 

Yeah, I think the Countryman is going to attract quite a few Bimmer owners like me. Love the M3, but I'm at the point where I want the extra cargo space. I've recently gotten back into cycling, so that has something to do with it.

 

Welcome to NAM!

Racks work well, just take off the front tire and keep in the the boot. (For the bike, that is)

 

Welcome! What are your Countryman specs? I'm anxiously awaiting delivery of mine

 

Welcome! We are also awaiting my husband's CM, hope to have ours in the next 10 days or so!

welcome.. wat kind of stuff are you looking for in your countryman

 

Thanks all for the welcome! I've added a sig that details my choices. Forgot to add the 2-piece center rail. Just can't do the one-piece, even though I'm single and won't be driving with more than two all that often.

 

minis have rear park distance control?

 

Yes, order option.

@asindc, nice CM, post up some pictures when you get some good days and time. Not many have ordered the light coffee, it was almost on ours, but went traditional.

 

oh i just noticed that you live around me.. where do you live, maybe when you pic up your mini i would see you in a club somewhere around here or something

 

Yes, I will. I wanted to match the setup I have with my current car as much as possible, but did not want to do solid black exterior. Had to put some uniquely MINI style in there! As with many of the options, I've gotten spoiled with PDC. It's not quite the must-have that heated seats, Xenon lights, and Nav is, but I definitely will always want it if available.

 

That would be cool.

 

]you live around fairfax or chantily?

 

Hyattsville.
