Great looking car !!

Reminds me of my favorite M3 color combo: carbon black with cinnamon interior.

Wow Congrats on your new ride.

I just noticed something though. The Sidewalk badge aft of the side turn signal is missing.

Well aren't you the observational type?



Indeed, the "Sidewalk" badges are missing...well, not missing per se, as I had the dealer remove them prior to delivery. I was not too fond of them...I'm usually not fond of ANY badging at all...It's more fun to make people guess! That said, I figure the wheels and interior speak for themselves.

That is one gorgeous car! Love the two-tone steering wheel. I think debaging was a good idea- no point in flaunting the fact that you have a sidewalk. On that note, not to get off topic, but I can't stand when vette owners have "corvette" across the windshield, corvette plate borders, corvette plates, decals etc. WE KNOW its a vette for God's sake!

Uhhh...I was waiting for someone to comment on that! Sometimes its hard to make a point w/o getting crap. I guess I had it coming. It's all in the intent IMO. I don't flaunt that I have a MINI, I just like the plate for myself. Nothing gaudy like a 5' "CORVETTE" decal on my windshield. I'm also obsessed with euro-style plates!

^ I was just teasing anyways. It looks like it's a car worth flaunting anyways -- of course I'm always a little biased towards JB MINIs

That's the first Sidewalk I've seen in Astro Black. I REALLY like it. I wasn't took keen on the wheels before, but they look great on a black MINI.

Thanks again for all the love!!! I am truly fortunate to have such a ride...it's not taken for granted, believe me.

As for the wheels...You're right, I don't think they'd look as good on a car of another color. But then again, I am now biased myself!

Any chance you could put the pics in your gallery so we could all drool? Some of our computers won't open up your links. A red box X looks like a red box X!
