Configurator is now up

Done a little playing around, like mentioned before if going fully loaded it looks like a good deal. If not will probably have to get more to get it, and while it might cost th he same as said don't always want those things. Also dont see a sunroo delete option. And only the clubman has rear fog option still from what I've seen

I cleared my cache and now I'm getting the updated one. I'm not convinced it's working correctly, though. It let me build one in the signature line without a sunroof. Also when I build the basic trim line, it still gives me all the color options.

Works better for me in Internet Explorer than Google Chrome.

The trims and package limitations seem to work correctly on my phone vs on the computer where it's a free for all (it lets me do all kinds of crazy color combinations), though the phone version doesn't tell me how much anything costs. I can select manual transmission in the middle trim level, but I have no idea if it saves anything. And like someone said above, I don't see any ability to delete undesired options.

I'm glad they launched the new configurator, but I'd be much more excited if it worked correctly :/

Edit: oh I see, you have to tell it you're done designing in the menu before it will tell you the price. I see no discount for manual vs auto.

Edit again: oof, definitely not liking this new system, unless the dealer can delete options I don't want. I'm seeing a $3K increase over my previous build, which includes a bunch of stuff I don't really want. I'm bummed that to get the red interior trim in the 2 door, you have to add a $2K interior package with leather seats. It used to be like $150-$200 for just the red trim.

I'm really glad I'm not in the market for a new car right now.

From my experience so far, it works best in Internet Explorer. I have not tried it on my phone yet, but I never had issues with the old one working on iPhone, and it is more or less the same interface still.
