Looks fantastic.
It's odd, though: the miniusa.com configurator has always shown that you cannot order Hot Chocolate seats with a British Racing Green car. (I always thought this quite odd since, as your car confirms, it looks great.) How did you get around this apparent restriction?

I don't think you can order it anymore. The order software at the dealership has a little-known workaround (or a bug). Spec the car, submit it and wait for it to reject the order. Resubmit the same order and, for whatever reason, it accepts it! But, there might be some bad news. My MA, diablito, says Mini is going to start manually rejecting this combo regardless of the order. There have only been three made in this combo and this is one of them. I hope they add the combo at some point because I think it will sell very well.
Best,
Terry
I agree on the color combo! I think it's a very stylish, maybe even retro-stylish match. Since the HC of the interior is a slight mismatch with the HC exterior, I think it may look better with the BRG. Congrats!

Soooo. Why would they not want to produce such a great color combination? Might be too popular?

To allow the three that have been made be that much more unique.
Very sharp looking 
and eye 
catching.
