Yay, Sirius! Can't wait to hear your first impressions!

Currently 3 days old and loving it more each day, somehow. Really impressed.

 

Hey guys I found out today on that drivetrain malfunction message I got over the weekend that they believe it was just a one time fault that they don't believe will reoccur. They scanned the key and looked at the diagnostics and said it just showed a one time misfire. So the plan is to not do any programming or anything at this time. They said if it does it again they will open a PUMA case and have a special tech from the region come by and look at it personally, but hopefully it was just a one time glitch. I had an alarm issue that turned out to be a faulty sensor and they are ordering a new sensor to replace it. Also I got some black bonnet stripes put on today so when I get my ride back this afternoon I'll try and post a photo of that. I'm going to do my second date appointment when I pick it up tonight. Service so far has been outstanding. I dropped it off this morning, they went over all of my concerns, and I was given another 2015 Mini Cooper S to drive for the day that even had less miles on it than mine does and mine only has around 500.

Glad everyone seems to have gotten all of their vehicles delivered or are very close to taking delivery. Seen a lot of good looking MINIs in this thread

 

Glad to hear it, man!

 

Thirdrail, your motor looks great! Looking forward to reading your thread.

 

Thanks guys! Loving it so far! No pics yet, been busy, but as soon as I get the black line rings on, I'll snap away and post my impressions!

So happy it's mine now!

 

get on it!

 

Yes! Got mine on this past Saturday alright... it was quite dramatic. Had to drive 2.5 hours to pick it up in OKC. Drove rental car down there and had MA pick me and my son up at the rental car location closest to the dealership. Gave MA a head's-up when we arrived and he showed up to pick us up within 15 minutes or so... in my Mini! He hadn't said whether or not he was going to be driving it but I was hoping he would... It was quite a site!

Haven't had a chance to post any pictures because I've been on vacation for the past week! Did have a chance to put nearly 1,000 miles on it in the interim though! I have to say I'm quite impressed with nearly everything so far. I've attached some pictures from delivery day...

 

Of course, being Seattle, the rain has put a damper on my picture taking, but here's a couple shots from day 1, including my old, now retired, True Blue CM

Blackline headlight rings went on as soon as I got home and were super easy to install - the tail light rings were tougher so I didn't tackle them until last night - no pictures of those yet.

Full review coming soon, when it clears up a bit for pictures.

 

Nice work! It's the pepper white club around here

 

Hey y'all... more pics and comments are being added to the car page for mine, below, in about 20 minutes.

Sirius, I love those center stripes on the pepper white. Cutting through the air scoop like that is very dramatic and is awesome!

I'm out of town until next Tuesday so no Stirling pick up until then.

 

I think something's wrong with my headunit....

 

Thanks!

Almost time!

 

Sirius, whats up... you load different firmware?

 

Was using ESYS to code some stuff in and found an option to switch between the different interfaces the NBT unit uses (since it's the same headunit used in BMWs, Rolls Royce).

This was the BMW i interface used on the i3/i8, also selectable was the BMW interface found on iDrive and the Rolls Royce interface, though I couldn't get them to load - they would just freeze the screen.

Thought it was interesting though

 

Yeah I wondered if you had uploaded bmw firmware or something. Interesting!
