New Mini owner in Denver

Hello, just bought my first MINI, a 2017 Clubman F54 is on the way to Denver now on a Hauler. I really wanted an All4 6MT with some of the cool options available so after about a month of searching I finally found one in Tacoma, WA. 36K miles on it now so a few more months under warranty.
I've already ordered the spare tire complete kit from Detroit Tuned, looking forward to installing that right away because it has the 19" JCW wheels on it now with summer RunFlat tires so I've already found some 17" on craigslist ready to get some non-runflat winter tires mounted and have some fun in the snow. The 19" will be good for summer.
I'll be asking for a good place to buy an extended warranty, I have until 6/23/2020 when it will run out and will probably look to extend it at least another 2 years.
Will post more pics once it gets here.



Just about every available option is on it, very hard a to find a Fully Loaded with a Manual. I got it for a little less than half the original msrp.



Love the Indigo Chesterfield Leather

Congrats, just stumbled across your post looking at a different car on the 'minis for sale/wanted' section, so was poking around Carvana on your behalf ;-).

Yeah it's really hard to find a loaded Clubman with manual transmission...I ended up searching for months and settling for a slightly sub-optimal featureset, just so I could have a brg clubman all4 with manual. You lucked out, or maybe you just had patience, heh.

Thanks, I joined our MINI5280 FB Group and seems like a great local group of MINI enthusiasts. One person commented how they were disappointed after moving here that not many other MINI drivers wave to each other, I'll be sure to wave.

Yes, that was the first time t had driven one - https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ed-manual.html
so I guess it has been less than a month I had been looking, I originally started looking at the Countryman All4 Manual but the wife loves the ambulance doors of the Clubman so we agreed on the All4 Clubman, but with a manual, she would prefer automatic but will still drive it, it's been 15+ since we've had a stick. After driving the one above I quickly realized just finding a backup cam in an All4 would be difficult so I expanded my search to the whole country. I have had one other car from CA sent on a Hauler and that worked out well so I'm hoping this time goes well also.
