The OFFICIAL Bayswater Owners Club

Got "FreeMINI" yesterday. I love being a MINI owner, awesome car so far. Big change coming from a 4-door G35S. Any other Bayswater owners out there?


Wifey saying hi

I am as well. Several weeks ago when I picked up my shorty antenna from the dealer, I think I saw another on the lot. So there is most likely a 2nd one in my area.

I'll get a new photo soon of her with the shorty antenna. Looks much better with it.

Just got one for the wife in July. I'll try to get a picture up soon. We've got a Midnight Black Justa. Beautiful car.

Really like the Bayswater package! Saw my first one on the road yesterday here locally. The interior of this package looked great online at the Mini site. Wish I had that interior...

Let us see the personallity inside that beautiful shell!

HEY! Your side mirrors don't match!!!

The floor mats and seats have blue/gray stitching on them, the light blue/dark blue/gray stripes are on the "secret" compartment door (above the glove box) and the door sills are gloss black with MINI Bayswater and the 3 colored stripes on them as well.

I believe that is it. I will try and get some pics up.

You are correct, the Rocklite Punched Leather seats are only available with the package.

Does anyone with an S have a super-close-up pic of their bonnet stripes? Mine were not put on at the factory but after the fact and I feel like they look as though they are oddly cut-off on parts...

tab, if you've got any of around the mini emblem, the 4 shorter ones leading into the hood scoop, that would be super helpful! I'm wondering how close they are to be butted up against the emblem and if they all have rounded edges with a clear border.

Just ordered mine today. This will be the third Mini we will have owned. Tempted by the grey, but already have two grey cars on the drive, so went blue. First Mini was Oxygen Blue so it's a little similar. The black pictures look awesome by the way.

This will be my commuter car, but had to have something fun otherwise I wouldn't use it. Toyed with a Fiat Abarth, but there was something that didn't sit well with me...not sure what. Anyway, will post pics sometime in November hopefully!
