Picked Up BRG

Picked it up last Wednesday, it's bad ***.

Fun, although it will take some getting used to mostly because of the size.

Nice looking ride, I really like the color. The wheels set it off nicely as well.

I agree that the black wheels and rails really set off the color. You mentioned size. Did you have an R56 before, or a big vehicle?

This is my first Mini. I've had smaller cars Mazda3, BMW 135, WRX. But this is a whole different category.


The car is a hoot, lots of character, I love it.

Thats color with the factory roof rails it does give it some contrast.

I think many people go with the white or black roof just because the option exists, so going with solid green seemed less of a common choice. Therefore adding the roof rails did add some contrast, along with the black wheels, and black plastic around the wheel wells.

Looks great and glad you are enjoying it. I came from a 2012. Some say the new ones have lost their edge......I rather like the new ones, and I just have the 3 cylinder Cooper.
