Cancelled Order and Have a New (improved) MINI on Order
I had a BRG/B on order for about a month. Call me nuts (the car is currently in production) but I think I could use the Xenon lights for these aging baby boomer eyes of mine. So what did I do today? 'Drove out to the dealer, cancelled that order, and ordered instead an IB/W with Xenon lights and front fog lights. Other than the lights and the color switch, everything else is the same. I know, I'm back at the starting gate but I figure I might as well get what I really want/need and with age comes patience. I am excited about the IB/W too - especially since it appears it is being discontinued next year. (How can they discontinue such a popular color?) Yeah, the IB/W will work just fine!

Don't feel bad, it's hard picking color combo's because the're soo many very cool combos out there. At first I was all for DS/W then felt I saw too many in my area and thought the Mini should stand out more. I also went for IB/W and am very excited about the color combo. Funny thing is my car is in production now and I test drove a red/blk and thought that was a great combo too.
My cars 6 to 8 wks out IB/W and I can't wait to see.

It's good that you ordered what you wanted but the penalty is the delay.
In my area the waittimes are about 4+ months and growing so the more the delay in ordering the longer it takes to get your MINI.
What happened to the BRG/B MINI that you did order? Is it going to the dealer to be sold from the lot?

They'll sell it in a heartbeat as soon as it arrives on the lot. Yes, the additional delay is the downside but when it does arrrive, it will be exactly what I want. Word to the wise for those ordering: do your homework first. Sites like this one are a great resource for the prospective buyer. Learn as much as you can BEFORE you place your order.

You're not the only nut here. I'm nuttier than you. I cancelled my order TWICE. I started out with a pure silver MCS with almost all the options. Cancelled it and ordered a black one with a few options. Another month later, cancelled it again. Instead, I ended up buying one that's already on order from Classic. It's a IB/W MCS. Picking it up tomorrow.
The silver MCS came in mid-November and the black MCS is still on the ship.

I don't know about you but now I'm worried. I have this bad feeling that I made a huge mistake placing an order. I read other messages on this site about customers angry at Mini for errors on their orders. If I get my car and it's missing an option or has something I didn't order, what do I do? My MA has been pretty much unresponsive. He never replies so I still don't have a VIN or order # so I don't know where my car is on the production status.
