Congratulations, Jordan! I believe you're the first to post actual ownership here at NAM.

Yeah man, first one on NAM to own one. That's gotta count for something. I wanna get one as it rolls off the line in Oxford. I'm still pissed I didn't go there a couple years ago. We were in the town. Hey wait, the OP is from Oxford. Do they have a cool dealership there, lots of F56 on the lot?

Driving lights and roof rack are the top on my list.

Are you using an Apple device with this?
Do you have the sports suspension?

A quick update
Iv changed a lot of settings on the car to make it more how I want on the screen and how the LED inside change. Read some of the manual and played about
Driving is very smooth. brakes are a bit soft but could be because there new and also I did have big brembos on the GP. But will keep an eye on this
I like the armrest as you can tilt it forward so its not in the way of the gear stick. But still lets you rest your arm.
Over all im very impressed so far. Engine needs to run in as MPG is 43mpg but It has only done 100 miles. So should start to go up soon
Heres some more pics. I will get my camera out over the weekend rather then iphone photos.

The same as what's on 2014 F56 Hardtop: Viewall accessories

and Real OEM

RealOEM.com Diagram Selection


Not seen any print images of other parts yet. Just been sending part numbers to dealer and seeing if they have prices and so on

Sport Suspension wasn't an option when I ordered early December sadly.


I am using an iPhone 5. Its plug and play with apple lighting cable. plays music shows album covers and so on.

When I ordered I had seen 1 pic from the Plant oxford launch and the car was in the back ground so was a brave choice and has defiantly played off.


Its a colour that changes in different lights

Great looking car Jordan Colour reminds me a little of Indi Blue.

There nearest dealer to the factory is called MINI North Oxford, which is just a regular dealership. When I last took a factory tour there (this was about 18 months ago admittedly, a tour is well overdue), they were keen to have some sort of factory pick up facility.

I Live in Oxford but dint use North Ox. Don't any more there not great. I used Park Lane BMW's own dealership.


I'm still surprised they don't do factory pick up. I have been told the reason why but cant remember.

Do you have a site where the owners manual can be downloaded? In the US, 2013 is all that's available.

Would really like to be able to read up on my MINI before it arrives.
