Congrats, it's going to look like the (opposite color) clone of mine . And pretty much the same option package. My '16 JCW listed for $43500, and yours? I had some un-neaded options though such as the very expensive 'parking assistant'. I figured it was already so expensive, why not ???

Congrats on your First Mini! I'm on my 6th! Started with a 2008 Cooper S, dumb and traded it in on a 2009 G8 GT, then traded that in on a 2010 cooper S, modded the heck out of it, bought and restored a 1978 New Zealand Leyland 998 mini, then traded the 2010 S for a 2014 cooper S, rolled my 1978 and brought a 1989 Mini 998 over from the UK and then traded the Classic and the 2014 S in on my 2015 JCW!

The weather here is bad as well and more on the way tomorrow and Monday. I was hoping to have it installed on Thursday weather permitting. I am waiting for better weather for the new shoes for the mini as well. I am going to try the Michelin Pilot Super Sports. We did have the mini out for a short spin yesterday, but not today or most likely not again until Tuesday. Gearing up for the MOTD in May.

The NC mountains have marvelous twisties, but then most mountains do. This is a well-planned, highly organized event. The Tarheel Club has events throughout most of the year with routes for everyone. Dependent upon what driving style and interests the participants have. Good ride leaders and sweepers, everyone must have radios for safety. Check out their website when you have the time. There is the club website and one dedicated to the MOTD.

OP, great car and choices. I like the DDC option. Being able to soften the ride in sport mode is very nice and great for everyday use. Best of luck with your ride

I am in the DC area, so I configured a build and sent it to 5 dealerships from Annapolis to Richmond VA. Ended up ordering from Richmond VA. I have heard of people even going to multiple states to let dealers bid for lowest price.

We just returned from having the PRO exhaust installed and having a lot of fantastic runs on legendary twisty roads and the mini performed flawlessly and sounded great! As soon as Chris sends me the pictures he took of the installation of the PRO exhaust I will post them. The only vehicles that surpassed us on the TOD were the ninja bikes and they are crazy fast and seem bent on exiting the gene pool! New shoes are a must for the mini as the runflats really don't handle that well at high speed in tight turns although they weren't terrible. Michelin Pilot Super Sports are on order and will be on the mini before the next trip to the Tail!

I see you got floor mats, are they the JCW ones? Those and the Red color line really make the interior pop. I think adding the color line was one of my best decisions when ordering (only wish is that the JCW was available when I bought my car)
The waiting is tough but the payoff when it finally arrives is nice
