I took delivery of my 2016 Rebel Green JCW F56 6MT on Saturday! For celebration, I drove around northern New Mexico for some twisties and scenery.
I ordered this beautiful machine with quite a few options, but not all (no camera or driver assists stuff). The Nav and the Connected XL is great. If nothing else, I love viewing the map (even with guidance off) to know what lies ahead.
I also love the seats and the interior. Most of all, love the spirit and sound of this fine machine. I've noticed that the popping and gurgling sounds have become more pronounced now with increasing miles.
Fuel mileage (so far): 34.7mpg*
*Based 2 fills (~650mi), mostly highway (in green mode), some hills (starting at 6,000ft elevation and eventually going up to ~9,000ft and then back down to 4,300Kft), twisties (uphill & downhill in sport mode, yeah!). Obviously this isn't very statistically relevant (yet), but I was surprised to see this kind of mileage out the gate. ... or I just need to find more twisties!!
Here are the pictures! Rebel Green is amazing. It's so dynamic that in some situations, it's very obviously green; in others, it looks so dark that people mistake it for black until they get closer. Absolutely gorgeous!

Looks awesome!
Is that sandia mini? I picked mine up from there.
Maggie. Cute car and outfit! Those shoes....and the green car....well done all round!
I had 5 months to plan the event (also known as Day of MINI), so I might have gone a bit overboard...especially if you consider that I also made a headband inspired by my wheels... Lol. It sure was fun and I had to do something to keep myself from going mad during that long wait!
(Hope the image attaches; trying this from my phone.)
