Well we placed our order last week, here is the rundown:
Deep blue metallic
Cross punch dark truffle leather
Dark truffle color line
Cold weather
Media package
Premium package
Sport package
Wired upgrade
Garage door opener
Chrome line exterior and interior
Chrome mirror caps and black stripes
Couldnt believe how quickly options added up and how the price has changed since we purchased a 2005 mcs. We paid 26.5 for that car and the msrp on this was was 35050! Luckily dealers will actually deal and we didn't pay msrp like we did on the 05!
The wait begins.
Congrats on the order - you will absolutely love the dark truffle - I was hesitant but it really grows on you and warms up all the black in the dash nicely. It was hard to tell the true color from the configuration. Here is what it looks like in real life:
Here's what I got last October. The car was a 6/15 build.
Premium Pack (H/K Sound, Comfort Access, Sunroof)
Cold Weather Pack (Folding mirrors, heated seats)
Media Pack (VB display+upgraded radio)
Navigation (Nav on VB is no longer available, you must have the XL display)
Sport Auto Tranny (My other car is a manual and driving a manual in Seattle traffic on the daily is a PITA)
Blazing Red Metallic/Black Roof/Mirrors
Rear Spoiler (MCS)
Red Wheel Center Caps
16" Victory Spoke Black Wheels
Great car in every way...bought her exactly 5 months ago and have 8k miles on it. Definitely get Media and Prem Pack at least. The rest is icing on the cake. If you live in a sparse/moderately populated area, get the manual...you'll have more fun.

Congrats, do you have pics? Think the H/K sounds so great in the F56.
I wouldn't pay for stripes, you can get them online for under $50 and in any color/material imaginable. I was able to get them in carbon, the look pretty cool :-)
JCW tuning kit is also a must. Keeps full warranty and make a very nice difference.
I find the storage package to be useful. Dynamic Dampers (Ability to soften the ride is wonderful)
JCW Interior Pkg
Automatic w/ paddle shifters (unless you are going manual)
HK Stereo Since it was standard in my 2015 but now and option, I'd still order the Mini Excitement package. I kinda like the festival light changes as I'm driving my car. Quirky, but hey, it's a Mini and Quirky is good.
Oh yeah, just remembered that I have the JCW tune on my car it transformed it. However if I were doing it now, I'd get the Dinan Stage 1 tune for $900 (less than half what MINI wants for the JCW tune) and has full warranty coverage by Dinan.

Cold Weather Package
Sport Package
Media Package
LED Front Lights
Chrome Line Interior and Exterior
17" Tentacle Spoke Wheels
Dark Truffle Leather
Dark Truffle Color Line
Garage Door Opener
Comfort Access
I am hoping this is all that I will need for the car. I don't have a need for Navigation as this car will rarely be used on any trips, and WAZE is pretty darn good. Other than that, I can't think of anything else that I would necessarily need. Is there any way to get the Carbon Edition stripes put on the car?!?!
Thanks for your input and advice!
Looking forward to getting another Mini as we traded the last one in for a MINIVAN! :(
