Just picked it up.

Long time lurker. Couldnt find nothing i liked so had to order one. Got it from PrestigeMini in Ramsey, NJ. Awesome folks there. Just got the villager. ALL4. All options but Lounge seats. And its Manual, of course. Taking it on a roundtrip to skydiving paradise in Florida.
Orange caps might look weird, but this is a shoutout to GT3RS i sold two month ago.



GT3RS

That's a heck of of a switch...GT3RS to a Countryman All4!
Parking should be less worrisome, though.

Are those orange or Pure Red? You do know that you could get a whole car that color.

I know this will sound weird, but in my sordid history of cars (at least my wife thinks it's sordid) that includes Austin Healey, Triumph, Lotus, Mazda, BMW, Porsche, Audi, and a few others, my CM All4 is maybe only lagging Lotus and Porsche in terms of how "right" it feels to me. It won't replace your Porsche ("There is no substitute"), but the CM motors...it's not just a ride. And the orange caps are an inspired touch!

What is the blue BMW in the garage? A M3 or M5? Is that a CF hood?

I hear u Zuman. I went through S4, RS6, RS4, ExigeS, CooperS, M5, STI, EVO, MS3, FJ cruiser (I know I know), bunch of VW and Benz, GT3RS, CC CarreraS to name few and now a Countryman. And I am only 30. I guess I am still looking. The most memorable vere ExigeS and GT3RS, but 05CooperS had highest fun factor. This is why I went w ALL4. Need smith for my skydiving trips.
