Nothing wrong with it. It's gorgeous. But true BRG is solid, and a solid BRG would be great on a MINI.

I would love to see an all blacked-out MINI with aero kit, but leave the flatness of the arches to contrast with the body paint. Then accent the rest of the car in flat black. That'd look pretty cool!

If MINI offered this color:


with black roof and the black 18" JCW rims with the body kit then I'll call my dealer right now

I'd like the metallic/pearly white/cream color you see on Cadillacs and Audis.

But what I'd REALLY like is for MINI to just let you combo however you want. They talk about individualism and customization, then let us have at it!

My favorite previously offered combos are SG/W and SB/S.

I was thinking the other day that MINI has these colors (among others):

Chili Red, Hot Orange, (Mellow or Liquid) Yellow, British Racing Green, (Lightning, Laser, Electric, or Hyper) Blue, and Purple Haze.

Why hasn't there been a picture of a MINI rainbow yet?

This is what I think of when I think of real, original BRG.

Yep. And BMW even had this green for a couple years, which would work:

How about an all red MINI, with just black accents like the mirror caps, beltine and maybe a few other minor things, but have it be all red, with gold bbs style wheels.

It would make me think of the old school Ferrari F1 cars with the red body/gold wheels combo. And the black for good measure of course.

True original BRG may have been solid...but there have been PLENTY of metallic BRG's of various sorts for the past 35 plus years....Heck even works racing cars used a metallic BRG at some point.

On the other hand, the brown metallic that they don't offer for the 08 MCS's would be a great color with a black roof and black mirrors.

Porsche makes some beautiful colors. I'd love to own a MINI that's the same color as this Orange Porsche.

I like the metallic BRG, but would really like a true non metallic brg. Still like white roof and stripes. I told the mini rep who called for my post purchase survey, why don't you produce a real non metallic brg!!

I too would like to see a solid BRG. I would also like to see a tan coloured roof for the Cabrio, it would look great on my wifes BRG Cabrio.
