So I'm getting ready to order my 2011 Mini Cooper Sport and am undecided about the interior. I am leaning toward the Leather Toffee/Cloth color line. Really liking the diamond tufted look of the cloth with toffee stitching and the leather accents on the seat and dash. But ideally would want rooster, but can't with the Laser Blue. Have always been a huge fan of red leather and had it in my Crossfire Ltd. Otherwise I'd most likely go with cloth since I'm not big on the seats being ALL black leather or the light beige and have decided against the leatherette. Have searched around and around and can't find any images but one in the Chocolate mini with the toffee. Would like to see better images of it??

Other options so far:

Black Headlamp Housings & Clear turn signals
Piano Black?
Rear Fog to fill the otherwise awkward missing switch?
Heated mirrors and washer jets?
White Roof & Mirrors, Bonnet Stripes
Convenience + MINI Connected
Sport Package w/ Web Spoke Wheels
Premium Package
Base Roof Rack
S Rubber Floor & Boot Mats

That all being said I'm not thrilled with the $32k price tag. Really wanted to keep it in the $28k range, they just make it so EASY to tack things on! I can do without the convenience but am pretty amped about the MINI Connected because if the iPod out function. So I could save $1k there. Not much, and wouldn't mind having the comfort access. Also was originally just gonna get the H/K and not the premium package, but understand the sunroof really adds to resale? I'll only keep it 3-4 years). Decisions decisions.

 

I have a LB 2010 MCS, I went with the Pacific Blue leather interior and I love it. Do they still have that available on the 2011's?

 

I dislike very much the MINI cloth. I also miss the grey/black leatherette of my 05 MCS because I find the bblackn leatherette to be too much black, like you. But on the other hand, I was too cheap to add leather . So black leatherette it is.

 

The blue leather is no longer an option. The new red is rusty color- I didn't like it. I went with the new beige leather with my 2011 lazer blue. I specified the oak wood dash trim. I'm very happy with the choice. With the white exterior roof, and light color interior, it has proven to stay quite cool when parked, even in the Florida sun where we spend a lot of time. Also, they have changed the standard headliner color this year to beige, so if you order another color interior and don't like the beige headliner you must order the optional black headliner, as an extra cost item, which makes leather option even more expensive.
