We've had our eye on the Countryman S ALL4s for some time. Finally decided to test drive one and see if it would work for us, size-wise.
Our local dealer happened to have a 2019 with adaptive cruise control (a feature we had to have) in special edition Rebel Green over British Oak (and we were pretty set on getting a green one), and we loved it so we sealed the deal! It's such a great combination of Mini and SUV.
Going back in for tint and roof rails+box next week.
Congratulations on getting that awesome color combo Countryman! More pics of the paintwork in the sun please!
Nice E46 M3 and I too would like to know how you're mounting those CSL wheels on the wall
What you using to mount your summer or winter wheels on the wall? Need a solution for my spares! Good looking Country!

I bolted those to the wall directly into the studs with three 3" lag screws and washers - each bracket alone will hold my entire body weight without deflecting. I purchased a 48" strip of 1/4" thick 60A hardness adhesive-backed rubber off Amazon, and cut four pieces for the top of each bracket as both protection for the wheels and also to keep them from sliding around at all.
So the wheels are mounted using these brackets from Home Depot: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt...-354/300263055

Doubles as both storage and wall art!
