Just brought 'er home

MA called Tuesday at noon and said I could take delivery today at 5pm.

It was in service to have to wheels put on, so they didn't have time to detail so I've got a free detail next time I'm in the area.

Here's a pic for those that are interested.



Will be taking the day off tomorrow to get acquainted.

Thanks for the compliments!

I'm very happy with the rims! Initially thought they would be darker but am
liking them just as they are.

Wanted to shine her up and take some more pics, but the forecast is for rain
the next 7 days. I'll be sure to post them when I do.

I know I'm biased but I think the Clubman looks fantastic in BRG.

Everyone's BRG's look fabulous. I can't wait; my new BRG/BRG clubman is "on the boat".

Anyone have more interior photos of their clubman? I really enjoy seeing the individual choices on those interiors.

I'm trying to decide between paiting my wheels anthracite or black. (These are my track set of R90's.) Any suggestions or photos that might help? Thanks!

Yay! BRG is the Greatest!

I wanted to say I just bought a MCS after wanting one for years. I found this thread and had to show off mine.

I saw a grille badge stating "Drive it like you stole it!" and it made me think I might have done just that. I bought my 06 MCS second hand for $23k. I wanted to list all the items included on the car and see if this deal was infact a steal!

The Premium Package has a leather multifunction steering wheel, cruise control, panoramic sunroof, automatic air conditioning, and an on-board computer.

The Sport Package has the DSC dynamic stability control, silver bonnet stripes, 17-inch alloy wheels with 205/45R17 run-flat summer performance tires, headlamp power washers, front fog lamps, xenon headlights, and rear spoiler.

The Cold Weather Package includes heated washer jets, heated mirrors, and heated seats.

The Convenience Package has a universal garage door opener, auto-dimming rearview mirror, a rain sensor and auto headlights.

Other Options: cockpit chrono pack, 6 speed automatic transmission w/ steptronic paddles, sport suspension, a Harman/Kardon stereo with eight speakers and iPod controls, Bluetooth, GPS navigation system, and English Leather upholstery.

My solid intentions were to go up to the BMW Mini Dealership and order a new one but as my mouth watered more as I test drove all the models so did my inner-kid in a candy store! It was hard to justify not going for broke and getting a new 09 JCW for $42k... I think I got quite the deal and the BRG color is by far the sharpest color!

Mod-Bug bit me!

Hey everyone... Ollie's got a little over 3000 miles on him, and two track days under his belt. He's got an extra set of black track wheels, a JCW black-out grill, and a custom made Magnaflow cat-back (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foWbAzFBT9w) YEE-HAW!!!!






Now it's on to the headlight rings from Lyle's and from there, who knows?

Yep, definitely sounds like a steal to me! When in doubt, pass within shouting distance of the BMW MINI dealer, and see how much they'd buy it from you for - my local dealer keeps bugging me to sell mine to them. !?!!? HEEYALL NO!!
