Hello all! My name is Mike, and my wife and I have a 2016 MCS on order. The anticipation is definitely killing me! Just wanted to introduce myself and say that I'm looking forward to being part of the community!

 

Welcome to NAM! It's like expecting a newborn! Be sure to post pics when you take delivery!

 

Good luck on you new purchase and welcome!

 

Welcome to NAM, Mike! Congratulations and don't forget to post some pictures once you pick up your new MINI.

 

Thanks! Will definitely post some pics once it arrives!

 

+1 We will need some pics when you get it.

 

After 11 agonizing weeks she is finally here!! We picked her up last Friday. All I can say is it was worth the wait; what an amazing machine! Of course, I'm not saying anything that you guys don't already know. Really looking forward to the road ahead. I also have to say that the whole purchasing experience (other than the wait -- but that's not their fault!) was absolutely fantastic. I have bought several cars in my lifetime, but never have I had a better time than with this one. Our MA was awesome, and really passionate about MINIs. Just a great experience overall.

Well, enough rambling from me. Time for pics!




Ready for us to take her home! Sorry for the cruddy iPhone pic.





Getting her first wash, polish, and wax. Gotta love those PDI swirl marks. Everything polished right out, though, and the paint came out like glass.





Ready for her close-up!

















Dirty carpet from the drive home from the dealership. Hadn't gotten to the interior yet and I was beginning to run out of daylight! Had to take pics quickly!

 

Hello there. I made a post a while back but it never seemed to make it out of "review" status, so I'll try again! We picked up the car on October 2nd! Loving it so far! Made the first road trip last weekend (other than the 100 miles it took to get home from the dealership) and it was awesome. Very comfortable, the nav system is out of this world, and it is a BLAST on the interstate! On and off ramps are particularly fun. Looking forward to the road ahead!

Here are some pics as promised:






At the dealership; ready to come home!





Getting her first wash, polish, and wax as soon as we got home. Gotta love those PDI swirl marks...





All shined up and ready to pose!








Sorry for the dirty carpet (hadn't gotten to it yet and I was running out of daylight...) and the blurry pic.

 

Very nice, glad you're enjoying it so far! Is that a DeLorean in the garage?!

 

That black on black w/ black wheels. Wow , very nice

 

Thanks!! My wife originally didn't want to go with black wheels. After looking at the configurator pic a few times she warmed up to it. Once we saw the car for the first time in person she was REALLY happy with the choice. We had talked about going with the black rings on the headlights and taillights, but unless the rest of the chrome is blacked out (beltline, fuel door, door handles, etc.) it seems like it still needs that next step, which I don't know if I want to do. We'll see how it goes; may end up doing the rings anyway.

It is!

 

Awesome! My friend has one as well. Love it.

 

Awesome f56, must be an awesome feeling going to pick up your brand new car. Hope I'll know the feeling one day.
