I like the yellow, my wife was not a big fan but once we saw the true color on the car she actually likes it. Maybe if I can talk her into a justa then we can be a 2 MINI family!

Those tunnel spokes are growning on me, especially in white.

First photo of my bright yellow honeybee

Wow, I can't believe it took 7 months for me to post the first photo of my bright yellow countryman. I agree that people has mix opinions toward the yellow. I got that a lot too. But I think the whole color palette for countryman in general is a bit odd too. Like the yellow's a bit greenish. The red's more like orange-red. True-blue is more like dark blue-green, etc. That's why it took me like 2 months to travel around dealerships in NY, NJ and CT try to see all the colors in person. But I eventually pick the yellow. I think it look fresh in person but at the same time, it doesn't stand out as much as the other yellow used on other models.

Bright Yellow looks much better in person. Better half just got an All4 in that color and it's beautiful!

Welcome to yellow family. I like your black wheels. It really goes well.

The stripes would make it much better on your yellow.

Got this Bright Yellow as a loaner today.
You think you get a lot of attention driving a Countryman?
Try driving a yellow one!
I guess you guys already know

Smile Am I the last one who ordered 2012 in Bright Yellow?

I placed my order of a 2012 CM (base model) two weeks ago and now am anxiously waiting
There were probably a dozen bright yellow ones left out there, but none of them has the biege leather seat and body color roof that I want.
Cannot wait for the delivery and will floor this site with pictures

Seriously, am I the last person who placed an order of 2012CM in bright yellow? I know it is the least popular color, but I love it, especially the greenish tone in yellow.

My CM arrived yesterday! I am so happy to drive it. Here is a picture. The true color is a slightly more greenish than in the picture. Will take more soon and post here.

My 2011 CM-S-ALL4 started out as "bright yellow" but then I made him "brighter"

So I suppose I'm a bit of a misfit now

This thread hasn't seen love in a while. I am the new owner of a 2012 ALL4 in Bright Yellow. I didn't think much of the color in pictures but loved it in person. She will be my first MINI. I am so excited to pick her up next week! Pictures to follow.

Congratulations! I am the owner of a 2012 Surf Blue CM. Ours are special since they are both discontinued colors. You will love your MINI!

Finally picked her up! Of course the weather's been rainy here the last two days, but I got some pictures. This is only my second car. I love it! I'm definitely going to be adding driving lights. I'm also considering adding side stripes and going with black trim on the headlights, but I'm not sure yet.

Beegirl, I love the Surf Blue. Really nice color.

Looks great with the black or gray trim, you have black wheels so it will match. Or the gray side scuttle surround. S either way. Here are some other options.
