Bye bye F56S Hello International Orange
While running errands this morning I stopped by my Mini dealer to check on my incoming F56S.. Well much to my surprise I saw this lovely auto.. After having a good look in and around I sat down to crunch the numbers with the GM. Done deal.They just had it delivered yesterday, timing is everything..

congrats, very cool looking car in person. My NJ dealership had one as well, but it was a manual transmission. I thought about trading my 2016 Carbon for it, but I finally have my Carbon dialed in and right where I want it! Best of luck with it

That's great as I've been seeing them pop up on dealer sites all over the US and I think it's awesome.

Hahahahahahaha.. Hope your cousin Vinnie can run fast we haven't fed the rescue panther in a week. The wheel locks just went on and no unlike my first F56 it's not weeping a liter of cosmoline lol.

Thanks all. I was very surprised to see it let alone walk out with it.

I just picked up my International Orange Edition on Friday too. Really fun car. Could do without the graphics though. Might have to come off. Enjoy your car.

Congrats & thank you! I'm going to leave the graphics for now. Did the dealer share any info with you about the limited run of these?

My dealer GM printed out some internal Mini corporate summary of how they are marketing the car. Four pages. Indicated that Mini is only producing 150 of these cars with Sport Automatics commanding a 1,500 premium. If this is true, you won’t be seeing them coming and going. The content otherwise contains what anyone can find on the internet such as the contents of the edition package, etc. That’s about it.

I got mine 2ish weeks ago from a dealer in Los Angeles. Mine’s a manual as well. The sales guy told me only 150 destined for the Western region of the US and only 10% are manuals. A Bay Area dealer told me the same thing too so not sure how many there are total. Either way I love the car. I was going to order one but since these were already at port I snagged one of these instead. Love the car!

Congrats Peter! I think I actually like those wheels! Way to go! I can now see the danger in living close to a MINI dealer! LOL!

Thanks John. These wheels are pretty interesting. I finally made the jump to a JCW. It's 2 miles or so from door to door LOL!
If and when the GP comes out, I'll be in trouble..

Those wheels are fantastic and I wish you could get them when ordering a JCW. Gunmetal is way better than shiny black any day.

Nice ride! Everything about it looks great. If I could do my own Vinyl wrapping I'd be in the garage now doing International Orange.
