Soon to be a Mini owner

Hey y'all. Getting my ducks in row to make my first Mini purchase. I will be buying a Paceman Cooper S All4 manual.

Congrats, that's exciting. And the Paceman is a rare and little seen MINI. Post up some pics when you get it. Great you are going for the manual in the All4, that's a win right there.

Man, I was kinda expecting flame for choosing the Paceman. Thanks for the support! I am coming from a line of Subarus so I have an AWD addiction. And G3 Auto Solutions can do the Manic tune locally

I am aiming for early next year. I like to do research well in advance. I have a few ideal color combos but, honestly, color is near the bottom of my requirements list. I require:

All4
Manual
factory 19" wheels so I get sport suspension

That right there is some rareness on an already rare model. I just don't want a black or jungle green car. I would consider all other colors. I'm hoping that some go out of warranty next year and I can pick one up at a decent discount.

Yea, the Paceman is rare and you can sometimes find them in the very rare JCW version for a little bit more money, but worth it for the body kit and the additional options. Good luck on the search.

The JCW is a bit too flashy for me. The Cooper S feels just right to me.
