It said on the brochure that it would be available in March but I still haven't seen it.

Maybe they are doing it for the 2015 models which would be production for June

 

When you say " it said on the brochure" what brochure?
And the MINIUSA web site shows:
Thunder Gray & Blazing Red

Do you have a link to the brochure or site which states these colors?
It would help if your title were less generic and maybe toss us a little more information.
I've been monitoring the new model release for months, very interested in replacing the wife's '12 R56 S with the new one.
She's now on the fence as Chili Red hasn't been announced.
Her current MINI is Chili Red........Blazing just isn't the same!

 

Brochure from dealer

 

I thought I read somewhere they were making chili red a JCW-only color.

 

That makes sense.
They had Red roof only for JCW's last generation, I believe.
'Cept if you bought a Red/Red model.
But they have reserved colors for JCW's before!

 

As Arte Johnson might say, "Veeeeery interesting".

"Chili Red (with JCW Exterior Cosmetic Package only – available with March production)"

"Moonwalk Gray (available with March Production)"

 

Looks like Moonwalk Gray is finally available to order. At least it's up on the US Configurator as an option. Still no JCW body kit or Chili Red.

It's listed as a "Semi-Metallic" paint.

 

yep $250 like the red one

 

I really want the JCW body kit, but my car is already built and I'm taking delivery next week. I hope the parts will be available for separate purchase within the next few months!

 

You're going to pay an arm and a leg for it after the fact. Unless it comes painted (which the R56 didn't) and you can install it yourself, you're looking at about $1k just for the install at the dealer.

I'd definitely try a body shop first. It's still gonna run close to $3k painted and installed.

 

That sounds about right...
