As everyone knows, I'm getting rid of my Hot Orange '05. I found and put a deposit on an '06 Gray S convertible with 10K miles in flawless condition.

I haven't received the car yet and it looks like I'm going to have to wait 2-3 weeks until the Capital One check clears BMW financing.

Anywaaaay, the car is a beautiful gray color and I thought it was Royal Gray. Since I don't have anything to compare it, I was only looking at pics.

I even went so far as to add it to my signature. Today, I was talking to a guy in a parts department and after running my Vin number, it turns out the color is Dark Silver metallic.... not Royal Gray.

Not a big deal but I feel like such a newbie.



But who cares, I'll have a mini....WOOHOO.... I can't wait.

Thats ok, I won't tell anyone

 

That will be a sweet color to have! Especially if you are willing to do an aftermarket wheel, I think a hyperblack or gunsmoke would look amazing! Good luck!

 

You are so excited you don't care, you just want your car.

 

nice choice in color =)

 

Dark Silver is good.

Probably one of the nicest colors for the MINI.

 

Figured I already made a fool of myself...lol.



Yeah but the bank is making me jump through too many hoops. I got a loan in less than 5 minutes through Capital One last week for the Hot Orange mini.

This week they've changed the rules.... Now I'm really having to jump through hoops. Arggghh.


Yup, I ordered both of these wheels this morning except in black. I'll see which one looks better on the car.

 

Can always have the body shop do a respray before you pick 'er up.

 

You'll love the DS.

 

Its ok. When I first picked up my car the dealer told me it was 'Thunder Blue Metallic'. After two hours of searching with no avail and wondering why I was the only one with this "special" color...I figured it out.....
