1 month old Mini Cooper s. Just got plates installed. Looking to remove some chrome pieces. Hello from San Francisco!

 

Took delivery last Friday after a painful 7 weeks wait. Worth every bit of it!

 

The F56 continues to grow on me...

 

I went to build my F56 for the billionth time today, and I finally saw the JCW exterior package on there, so I added it. I was disappointed that you CANNOT get Blazing Red if you add the JCW exterior package.

Oh well. Your Chili Red does look good.

 

Took the my 2013 Roadster S in for the last free service yesterday morning. Walked out with a new 2014 S Hardtop. It was a bittersweet moment, leaving the roadster behind...

 

Congratulations.

New car looks great.

Roadster to F56, that's a big change.

But after 3 1/2 months with my F56, loving every day -- even more than I did the R56. It's a much sweeter car, comfort and interior refinements.

 

Ditto here! I've got over 7,000 miles on mine already--and not a foot of commuting! I'm amazed they didn't lose any of the MINI handling, either...

 

Good to hear that. I loved driving the roadster (35500 miles in 21 months). But needed to replace the windshield, extend the maintenance plan,... So I used that money for the down payment on the F56. And I think I got a good deal on it.

 

Nice package. Did you also select the no-cost sport suspension? There was someone who posted in another forum about missing that selection so he didn't get it but actually wanted it.

 

You are not the first person to take their Mini in for service and drive home in a new one. How's the handling compared to the stiffer chassis of the Roadster/Coupe.

 

I did select it. I need to find an F56 with a JCW kit that I can see in person because I cant make my mind up on if I like it 100% or not. I know I like the front, but the rear section is just "eh" right now. Also, not sure how good it will look on Electric Blue.

 

I think the only way I could do Electric Blue on an F56 is with the JCW kit.

 

For my first post i give you my "Bumblebee". This is actually my second Mini, my other was a 2012 Countryman. Wife had a a 2 door that turned out to be a lemon (Don't get me started, long story). After BMW bought back her car she got a 2015 Countryman and obviously there was no reason for us to have 2 so........traded mine in .

Volcanic Orange, tinted the windows, Mini Connect with nav, sport seats, etc etc.

Love driving this car. I found the Countryman to be a bit of a dog even by Mini standards and man does this car really move.

 

Very nice UPSman, very similar too mine so I'm not biased at all

Might have to treat it to some orange centre caps, but still rocking the steelies for another few months here anyway. Being in the UK I fancy a set of arches with your orange marker lights (sorry don't know the right term) and you guys probably want euro spec without them - funny old world

 

 

My 2015 MCS w/ JCW Tuning Kit.

 

Are you in the US? How much was that tuning kit and how do you like it?

 

Yes, I'm in the US. Kit was almost $2500 total for everything (install, tax)

I LOVE it!! Sounds amazing and the performance gains are very noticeable and really
makes the car more fun to drive.

 

first two add ons to my justa

 

Nice. What does that include besides the ECU tune? Exhaust? Who did the work? I had a 2007 MCS and now the 2014 factory JCW Coupe and the difference in acceleration is quite noticable to say the least.

 

Here is Hedley Lamarr. He will be delivered tomorrow evening 😄😄😄

 

really? becouse i drove a jcw coupe 2014 and it felt about as fast as my 2015 cooper s, and even though the jcw coupe has 211 hp, it has less torque or the same cant remember. the point is i felt them equal fast.

 

HA! Sheldon Cooper... LUV it!!

 

Nice. That's where I got my Mini a couple months ago. Great people.

 

I'm doing the CM to F56 move as well... I only drove a base auto non-S as a loaner and was sold. I can't wait to get my hands on the S manual... if those damn dirty robots would only build faster...
