Have performed the obligatory search and didn't find anything.. Who has a pic available; local dealer only had gloss silver and patina alloy examples in stock.


Thanks in advance!

pookey 13, you have had your MCS almost a month and you still have that ugly US government airbag warning label on your beautiful anthracite dash? I took mine off during the delivery process and handed it to the salesman to dispose of. First the government mandates that the car be equipped with airbags and then mandates that there be a warning that the airbags can be dangerous. And not just one label but three!

GET the antracite!!!!!!!!!!


i got it blind too, i agree its dark but thats the way i like it

(IMO) the antracite interior looks more solid, more expensive with it(seems to be a bit more race in minis ive seen too).... the silver and fake metal looks apear "cheap" looking to me.

i LOVE my interior and am 100% happy with it

That "WARNING--Children can be..." label looks so much better on the anthracite!

You may have a point there, nice contrast with the white and yellow warning label on the dark anthracite dash. I may have made a mistake removing mine in such hast. I wonder if the dealer could order me a few more. I’m sure I could find more places for the label than just the one above the glove box.

What? The anthracite finish or the Yellow and white warning label?
Maybe a few more warning labels would be nice- like wallpaper for the dash. Could laminate them
so that they can last longer.

I ordered the anthricite interior along with black leatherette seats. The dealer had the whole combo in a MINI on the lot. It looks really bold and I won't have to worry about the light color interior showing dark stains that may happen along the door due to my foot hitting it as I exit the car (which I tend to do).

i was at the local dealer recently...and gotta say the anthracite is killer, no filler. i've got the silver/dark and it does seem a bit...fake? the all dark with subtle changes in texture and shade does seem to make it a bit more classy and less fake-looking. and some of the shoe/scuff marks on the silver were shown to me...it does stand out quite easily. though i would guess the typical mini owner would clean that up in a jiffy.

if i do get another mini, i'm going with anthracite.
