What do you all think?
I was initially thinking about AB and blacking it out, but that seemed kind of 'done'. So, the more I looked, the more BRG grew on me. I think i want to slowly black it out, but I am in no hurries. Just excited to go order. Although the name will be hard to choose.
Sounds good to me. BRG is the best!

I looked at MY for a bit, but decided on something a bit darker. I think that BRG is the best mix of dark and classy. It just fits my style better than more 'lively' colors.

I wish we had the option of NFR in MCS, but eh... BRG is better anyway.

Nice I had a similar idea. But went black instead
In my opinion a "reding" out the top (vinyl) would finish the look.

I already posted pictures over in the "Post Pictures of Your R56 Here" thread, but I have a deep passion for this color and want to share my beautiful Victoria with my BRG brethren.

Thanks.
I have been considering making top red.
Your idea of vinyl is a good one.

Girls and BRG!

I think it would look great with the wood steering wheel, dash.
I also wondered if there are many girls with them. It seems mostly the boys have the BRG.
I've been waiting for 2 years so now that the ordering part is so close I'm really obsessing about what color combo to get. I thought that maybe the BRG wouldn't be so apt to be keyed by the Meanies out there. BRG is so classy.Love all your photos!!!!

I'll be placing my BRG order this week.. and this is totally going to be my mom-mobile!! My husband laughs at me because I think that BRG is the "cutest" but it is. It doesn't look like it is trying too hard, like some colors can! heheh

Easy to see my favorite color. The only thing I'd like more would be a traditional non-metallic BRG!

Hello fellow BRGers! I am on my second week of MINI ownership and would not have purchased any color other than BRG!

Dlpruk, very nice. I haven't seen any real images of BRG Clubmen until yours. Beautiful inside and out!

Thanks both! (Sorry the steering wheel's on the wrong side.)

You lot have a treat in store when your dealers get these into your hands - and even more so when you get Ds. Or should I say "if"?

Again, Dlpruck, that wood and tan interior is wonderful. Since I couldn't get BRG with HC interior, I just went with cheap cloth interior. I seriously should have looked at the tan leather. Too nice!

The chequered cloth looks fine in the flesh, especially with the Anthracite headliner if you specced that. (It may even look better than the Beige with your silver stripes that I avoided because every MINI you see in the UK has stripes and decals of one sort or another.)

It may also be more comfortable in your warm climes!

I don't think that I posted in this thread before. Here is my 07 BRG/W MCS.
Premium, Convienence, Cold Weather packs, LSD, Xenons, Piano Black, Anthracite headliner, Flame Spokes, Rear Fogs, White turn signals.

I was thinking about getting the Aux lamps, but I haven't decided yet.

Anyway, sorry for the quality of the photo, it was taken with my phone.

Hey Coop310:

My BRG MCS is due in early next month. I also ordered white turn signals but believe it or not have never actually seen how they look with BRG.

Would you mind taking another quick shot of the back of yours (the next time you have your phone out) and posting it here? I'd love to see how it looks.

Thanks!
