woohooo, I placed my order today

Today I ordered my car from Mini of Fairfield County, CT.

MCS Sparkling silver Lounge black roof and stripes, Redwood Red, brushed Alloy, Colorline Grey and Chrome Line interior

Also w/ PP, SP, Sport Suspension, LSD, Web-spoke

I tried, but the dealer would not remove the 225 doc fee, but I got the floor mats for free.

I got an estimated delivery of the car to be 2nd or 3rd week of May (the same time I will be in China for work )

Congrats! The doc fee or conveyance fee in CT is just something you can't get rid of. New Country charges 299 as do most car dealerships in CT. I'm surprised MOF only charges 225.

That sounds a lot like mine that is on order. Did you get the Redwood Lounge Leather with the brushed alloy dash? I though you had to have piano black.

Chopperace,
Yes, I ordered the Brushed Alloy. The Piano Black is only the default option when you select the Redwood Lounge Leather. You can go and pick the other one if you want. I decided on the Brushed Alloy as I did not like the high gloss look.
