I am a new member of the Blazing Red... I love my new MINI.... Blazing red with white roof and white sports stripes.....

Looks HOT and I get compliments from everyone!

So glad they got rid of the PURE RED....

 

I just picked up my new '13 Blazing Red MINI CM last week and I love it! Here it is fresh off the lot and next to the '12 Pure Red MINI CM.

 

That red is really nice, but I will stick with my babe for now....

 

I love that new red!

 

Me, too. Keeps people like you from having it.

 

Great one Sealy.....

 

Just curious. I saw on the license plate that you ordered it thru Crevier in Irvine. How was your experience and how long did it take to get it? Who was your sales rep (if you don't mind me asking). This is exactly what I want, but with white stripes (like the one posted above). White tops have been impossible to find anywhere west of the mississippi ;-), so I may just have to order one. I just hate waiting!!

 

Was this your previous car?

Just ordered my Blazing Red CM Monday 3/18/2013. Should be here in about 10 weeks, can't wait!

 

Here are a few shots of my BR CMS All4

For some reason I can't get embeds to work...

 

Crevier Mini actually had this one on the lot so I didn't wait at all! I tried a few dealers (Monrovia - Terrible Staff, Limited Selection & Ontario - Great Staff, Limited Selection). Crevier has a huge inventory of Minis and they had exactly what I wanted. I wasn't going to get the navigation, but this was the last red/white on the lot so I bit the bullet and got it. I am so glad that I did too! It's really worth the extra money. One thing to note is that they do add lojack, window tinting, and a few other dealer extras to all of the vehicles. I too wanted the bonnet stripes so I negotiated them into my final deal. Crevier had me come back a week later to have the stripes added, and they look great. I worked with Santiago there, he was very friendly and knowledgeable. I had a great experience and definitely recommend them! Here is a shot of the mini with the bonnet stripes added (and a go badge for some added flair).

 

I did it!!! I put a deposit down today on a 2013 Blazing Red CM S with white top!! There was already one on a boat headed to the west coast & due to arrive April 2!! So I didn't need to order one. This one had everything I wanted. It will need to go thru customs etc. but I should have it around the 7th. I'm soooooo excited, as I'm sure you can all imagine :-). Any ideas for a good name?

On a side note, I just realized that the flat load floor was not listed as an option on this one. Does that mean I won't get it or are they standard now? Thanks!

 

You'd be amazed what you can do with ALL4 and summer tires.

 

It's not standard - if it's not listed you won't be getting it.

 

I'm negotiating, but I have an email in which my MA says its standard. I'll hold them to it. :-)

 

I just got my baby last Friday!!! My 2013 Blazing Red with white top Countryman arrived into port in Los Angeles on 4/2, and I LOVE IT!! FYI, it does NOT have the Countryman label on the boot, but future models are supposed to be arriving that way. Also, it does not have the flat load floor. I didn't order this one, the dealer was able to locate one to fit my needs already on a ship!! So, I didn't have a choice on the floor.


HOWEVER, they informed me that NONE of the Countryman in the future will be able to have a flat load floor because the National Transportation Dept (or whatever their official name is) said that it interfered with the latch system for car seats. I believe they are talking about the red hooks on the floor of the boot (near the seat backs). I don't whether to believe this guy or not, but that's what they told me.

I'll try to post a couple of pictures. It's actually drizzing here in San Diego today so ones I took over the weekend will have to suffice. I plan on adding white bonnet strips soon too.

 

When I get my Blazing red mini, I will be able to officially join this club! I haven't ordered/purchased one yet, but I know this is the color I want. Hopefully I'll order one in the next couple of months

 

Great looking. There is an older lady in my neighborhood driving a base black over blazing red CM. I like it. Who did you work with at Crevier?

 

I would expect the BR to have a tinge of green to it. Especially sitting that close to a PR.

Sealy - Who's actually coming to like the BR as newbie color.

 

I am placing my order for a BR/W this Saturday. I can barely contain myself. 4th mini in the family! I went in to this with minimal options in mind since I don't 'need' all the extra stuff. Then the gf got her Bright White two months ago fully loaded 39k, etc. Now I am wondering how did we ever live without Xenon's or blacked out light housing or that Nav screen. Somewhere between now and Saturday I need to come back down to earth.

I wanted the tobacco leather/cloth seats with the tobacco color line....haven't seen them in person though. Any thoughts on how that might look with the BR exterior?

 

I'm new here. I have a 2013 Blazing Red Countryman All4 on it's way - hopefully made it onto a ship this weekend, so only 2-3 more weeks! I couldn't decide what color roof to get up until the last minute, I saw a red on red Paceman and decided to do the same. Now my big decisions are on my custom plates and window tinting. Ohio's law's suck with 50% required in the front. I went darker on my 3-series and actually got pulled over about a year ago.

Anyone have pics of their tinted blazing red Countryman??

 

Picked up my Blazing Red CMSA4 the 11th. Love it! Went Pure Red color line and Red Leather/Cloth seats. So glad I waited, the rorange color was just not doing it for me.

 

Hello Blazing Red Owners! I just got my Blazing Red Paceman last week! Even though he's missing two doors, he thought he could still join the club!

I have a question, kind of a long shot for other Blazing Red owners. I was looking at the Chili Red JCW Air intakes and I wondered if those would be a close match, or noticeable difference in shade of red. I think those would look sweet in red, but I want something that will match well.

How about the Red Rim Blades with a Blazing Red car?

 

Just got our Blazing Red CM on Sat!

Looking at exterior mods / ideas and definitely tint.
Love the color in and out of sunlight!

 

There isn't many of us out there so I thought I'd check in.

Took delivery of my 2013 Blazing Red CM on June 28th and I love it! I got in on a sweet production slot and only had to wait about a month for it to arrive.

I haven't taken the time to take any good pics of Big Red yet, but here's one from the day I picked it up.

 

I am a new BR countryman owner myself, good to see some other hot minis on here in BR. This is m' lady.
