ordered a mini coupe! introduction...

Hi all,

I just ordered my first mini, a midnight black coupe S automatic.
Next step is ofcourse to become a forum member and introduce myself

A bit about myself: I'm 40 years old already live in the netherlands, and earn my money doing some stuff in IT (oracle dba).....

And much more important of course, a bit about the car:
As stated it is a Mini coupe S automatic.
As options: we took quite a few
- the leather lounge seats,
- the leather JCW dashboard,
- wired package (navigation, mini connected, etc.),
- Chili package (Xenon light , 17" rims, airco and lots of smaller stuff),
- heated seats, mirrors, and front windshield
- tinted windows
- chrome package inside
- dimming mirrors
and a few smaller items.....

a few pictures from the configurator, will post more when I get the real deal :-) which will be (hopefully) the 1st week of september.

Congrats ! Almost went with a Coupe before I decided on a JCW Hardtop last month. Very sharp. Will look classy as is or very sharp and sporty with some red stripes, mirrors, etc. Either way, can't go wrong.

Hope the wait isn't too long and Happy Motoring, in advance !

Welcome to NAM and congrats on your new MINI. Let the wait begin. I see you went for all black. You are brave. I have a hard enough time keeping up with the exterior in Midnight Black.

Welcome. I like the all black, you should black out all the chrome when you get it.
