Hello!

finally decided the 335 is getting returned, will be putting my order in for my MCS and have pretty much finalized what I want. What do you think?

Lightning Blue/White Top/White stripe
White turn signals
Premium Pkg: Sunroof a must have as well as Hi-Fi
Sport Pkg: Must have..I have RFT's on my 335 now and have gotten used to them..are they REALLY HARSH on the Mini? I like the design of the rims.
Cold Weather
Convenience Pkg: Love the toys
LSD
Xenons
Rear Fog
Checkered Cloth
Anthracite Headliner
Brushed Aluminum
Will probably throw on the JCW Leather/Alcantara wheel to match my JCW shift boot/ebrake handle

Now the interior is looking pretty dark..I don't really want the pacific blue seats, felt the stock cloth was a little more comfy. And I was considering the Pacific Blue color line..but I am afraid it will not match well with the Lightning Blue? what do you think?

Any comments are much appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave

 

The run flats are kinda loud, and grip isn't top notch, but I wouldn't really consider it harsh. Firm, definitely, harsh, not so much.

Looks like a pretty solid spec, though. Go for it! Looks similar to mine other than the premium, convenience, and cloth.

 

not anymore harsh than the all seasons on our clubman.

 

Nice build! I like your taste in style. It is very similar to an order I placed two weeks ago minus the premium package. Looks I wont be the only Lightning blue with white roof and sport stripes driving around NJ.

 

Overall, spec looks good. One thing I would change is the white roof/bonnet stripes to black. In my opinion, it makes the car look a little meaner.

I have runflats on mine too, and as soon as I can I'm gonna change them out to non runflats. They def make too much noise.

 

^agreed with the black roof... I'm on the fence between laser and lightning blue, but with a white roof it looks a little too, well, cute for me. The black roof does seem to make it look more like a "guys car"...

 

+1 Black roof

Sounds like a great car! Love my toys too.

 

i have no problems with the RFTs and i don't think the pacific blue goes well with lightning blue. PB is a lighter blue so it just didn't look right to me with lightning blue. your specs look good you will have a full toggle switches on the bottom row. since you are getting the JCW shift boot/ebrake handle i say go ahead and get the JCW steering wheel also.

the white roof i say if you want the white roof then get it, you are the one paying for it and will be driving it.

 

Was the 335i a lease or are you trading it in?

 

24 month lease, goes back in December. My sister will be driving the 335 for the few months I have the Mini. Also i'll try to teach the wifey stick so she can enjoy driving the mini too.

 

DSC??

 

Included in Sport Pkg.

 

Cool, good. Nice spec.

 

Or if you are asking what that means it is an acronym for Dynamic Stability Control.

 

Oh, please.... insecurity's a *****

 

lol...

I seriously don't care or else I wouldn't be buying a mini.... then again, i'm not going to go get oxygen blue....
