I took delivery of my 2016 Rebel Green JCW F56 6MT on Saturday! For celebration, I drove around northern New Mexico for some twisties and scenery.

I ordered this beautiful machine with quite a few options, but not all (no camera or driver assists stuff). The Nav and the Connected XL is great. If nothing else, I love viewing the map (even with guidance off) to know what lies ahead.

I also love the seats and the interior. Most of all, love the spirit and sound of this fine machine. I've noticed that the popping and gurgling sounds have become more pronounced now with increasing miles.

Fuel mileage (so far): 34.7mpg*

*Based 2 fills (~650mi), mostly highway (in green mode), some hills (starting at 6,000ft elevation and eventually going up to ~9,000ft and then back down to 4,300Kft), twisties (uphill & downhill in sport mode, yeah!). Obviously this isn't very statistically relevant (yet), but I was surprised to see this kind of mileage out the gate. ... or I just need to find more twisties!!

Here are the pictures! Rebel Green is amazing. It's so dynamic that in some situations, it's very obviously green; in others, it looks so dark that people mistake it for black until they get closer. Absolutely gorgeous!

 

Wow. This color combo looks great. Man now im thinking i made a bad choice with the silver/white color lol. Looks really good.

 

Looks awesome!
Is that sandia mini? I picked mine up from there.

 

Sure did!!

 

oooo, you picked my other favorite combo -- I was thinking either rebel green or white silver, both with red roof. Yours should look great, too!!

 

Nice, congratulations ☺ I'm jelious, still waiting for mine to be delivered.

 

Yeah, that's a 5 star color. I'm happy with my JCW Coupe but that F56 JCW is probably gonna be in my future someday.

 

Congrats Maggie! Awesome color choice. Enjoy.

 

Maggie. Cute car and outfit! Those shoes....and the green car....well done all round!

 

I had 5 months to plan the event (also known as Day of MINI), so I might have gone a bit overboard...especially if you consider that I also made a headband inspired by my wheels... Lol. It sure was fun and I had to do something to keep myself from going mad during that long wait!



(Hope the image attaches; trying this from my phone.)

 

That's AWESOME (the headband)!

 

Congrats! Thanks for sharing, and wonderful pictures.

 

Congratulations! Looks like you were all smiles when you picked it up. Seriously love that color combination.

 

Color combo is amazing! - Been waiting to see really good pictures of this combo

 

True. There aren't that many photos of rebel green/red out there. I figured this was one way to contribute to the community. :-) glad I could help.

 

wow - have not been an F56 fan but I like this JCW - very high quality interior too.

 

Thanks, Kyoo!! It's pretty sharp looking, but I might be more than a bit biased. 😎

 

Congratulations!!! Looks like a pretty nice build!!! Can't wait until I can put my order in for a JCW.... 1 year 7 months until I can order....
