Looks great!

I'm starting a process to get a 2012 model and am seriously considering this color. Do you mind posting more pictures in different lighting conditions?

Thanks!

Thanks! I really like it!

Today was the first day I got to open her up on the freeway! Very fun! This is could be dangerous! I set a speed warning, because it is WAY too easy to go fast!

I also discovered the steptronic gear shifter....super cool! Go into manual mode and really drive it....then go back to auto in traffic! Awesome!

I got lucky. They had exactly what I wanted on the way to the dealer...I put my deposit down, and had it 2 days later!

Nice. I have a new to me 2006 MCS JCW that I just drove back from FL a couple days ago. I need to take some pics when the sun finally comes out so I will probably try the app out and see how the pics come out.

its great for car shots because you can really separate the car from the background, and it has contrast/saturation control to really make the chrome pop!

Welcome to the Mini Family! You will love your new ride. They are such fun cars to drive, you will actually find more reasons to drive places. That is why Mini made a car with great gas mileage.
