They started building my new Chili red Countryman S Allwheel on March 12th. I can't frickin wait!!!! Can't wait to drive it and listen to the awesome stereo. Already have my 2 badges I'm going to put on the grill. Got the matte black wheels, black top and black stripes on hood. The only thing I didn't get was leather seats. I'm goin crazy!

 

I know the feeling. More buzz than a triple espresso, eh?!

 

Yea, I know the feeling. The anticipation and wait drives me crazy.

 

Congrats on the purchase! Where did you purchase it?

 

Congrats!! The wait is tough but worth it in the end.

 

Congrats, I love mine more and more each day.

 

No worries on the leatherette, it is great. Also, you'll be blown away by the quality of the HK stereo. One thing to clarify, the Countryman red is Pure Red, not Chili Red. I had a Chili Red MCS and mistakenly assumed the Countryman red was the same. The Pure Red is not your typical red, it is somewhat lighter and tends to look orange in certain lighting. Anyhow, it's something new and seems to get a positive response.

 

hey there, Chi. Please get back to us on what you are looking for? We are always excited about a new MINI owner. Sounds like you have ordered a really nice MINI. Is there anything we can help you with?

 

I finally got it!! OMG I never knew that driving could be so much fun!! I don't even care about the price of gas. I got mine from Bill Jacobs MINI in Naperville. Had a really good experience with them. The only thing I kind of regret getting is the MINI connect. Not real user friendly. I wish I just had a few buttons to just push for the radio. Having a hard time figuring it all out. Really glad I found this forum, will really help in the future if I have any issues (hopefully not). Thanks for clarifying the "red". I didn't like it at first, when I was deciding to order one, but so glad I chose it. It looks awesome!! You definitely can see me coming!
