Finally Ordered My MCS

I finally took the plunge in ordering my MCS. After months of convincing my girlfriend she finally agreed. I am hoping to get it by April . Production starts 1st week of February.

Dark Silver
Convenience Package
Cold Weather Package
Premium Package
Anthracite Headliner
LSD
Xenon Headlights
Rear Fog Lamp
Navigation System

I tried to see if the dealer would budge more on the price but he would only give it to me $500 off MSRP.

Congratulations on your MCS. Good color! Looks like some great options.

Hey, not many folks even get $500 off or even any dealer extras, like mats or a complementary shirt.

Sport suspension?

Enjoy and drive safe, we do expect pictures in April.

Nice! Congrats

$500 off MSRP for an ordered MINI, especially at the beginning of the year, is definitely a good deal. Did you consider the white turn signals and DSC??? Those are two items many regret not speccing. Looks like you have everything else covered though

Sounds great, except for the lack of DSC. Definitely worth the $$. If your car hasn't been built yet there might be time to add it.

I really enjoy the Convenience start/stop and lock functions. The NAV is great too. Love the screen instead of the speedo.

Welcome to the cul. . . I mean clan. Looks like a nice build.

Looks like we may be in the same production week. I was told by ask mini I would be a week 5 or 6 build. What do you have planned for the long (for some of us anyway) wait?

Have you seen the DSC video over in the Taking the plunge thread? If not here goes.

It really made me think twice.

Sounds like the car I want to get...IOW, sounds PERFECT

I hope to either have one on order or have one diverted to a dealership in the next week or so.

MCS

just keep looking at all the toys i can add to the vehicle. i really want to get some coilovers but that must wait. it took me a while to convince the wifey to buy this car so i will have to do a lot of convincing to lower the vehicle. i know one way to convince her is to buy her the gucci bag she been wanting

Sure thing! The majority of OEM options can't be added after the fact and the few that can are ridiculously expensive. Worst thing is to have regrets on a brand new MINI.

I was gonna ask the same thing. Don't forget DSC and White turn signals.
