New from California

Just placed my order lasts week on a 2013 Countryman S. passed on the All4. Got my VIN by Thursday
  • white with black top
  • anthricite wheels (flat black)
  • 6speed
  • harmon Kardon stereo
  • passed on nav and mini connected. Played with it for 30min on site and decided $1,500 for me just wasn't worth it. Cannot believe it isn't touch. Really didn't like the joystick
  • got polar white door insets and kept cream headliner. Didn't want 100% black interior
  • sunroof and comfort access system
  • black rally lights up front, and xenon headlights with black covers.
  • rear bucket seats with split rail

No rally stripes. Will have something custom done at dealer to set it apart.

Haven't decided if I like the COUNTRYMAN lettering I am seeing on the boot. About 60% for, 40% against, so may leave it on but won't put it on if it comes without. Only seen pics of it. Dealer had none with it on stock, and they had at least 30 R60's.

I purchased a 1998 Audi A4 Quarrto new 15yrs ago and have loved it, but time to move on. Excited about the R60 driving feel. Quite different from my sedan.

Congrats on the new R60. Waiting sucks, I just picked mine up in April so I know how the wait is. It takes an extra 2-3 weeks for the boat to get from the Atlantic to Port Hueneme.

Congrats on the Countryman! Yours will have the lettering on the back, as do all of the ones being built now. But it can be removed with a hair dryer and dental floss, if I'm not mistaken.
