Differences in seat color?

On the Mini site it shows the leathette for the MCS as basically a two-tone, but when I was at the dealership ordering my car they had one there that was the carbon/black leatherette and it was almost all black, so I was happy about that. Then today I see Ryan's new Astro black MCS (sorry, can't quite remember his screen name here ) and his looks exactly like the websites pics, two-tone, what the heck is the deal? Can someone post some pics of their interiors, please.

upholstry color match

On a related note, on the configurator, the cloth/leather pacific blue looks different than the pacific blue color line. Does anyone know if the colors actually match??

Interesting. Differences in production weeks? Fabric availiblity?

Yeah, I'm actually glad I didn't see the black leatherette before ordering... originally wanting an all-black interior, I would have gone for it for sure. I didn't like the two-tone pictured and opted to shell out for Lounge Leather instead. Glad I did.

Are you sure you were not looking at the black perforated leather?

Ok, I just got back from the dealership after getting out of my Crossfire (they offered me a pretty fair price) and looked at (2) MCS there and they both had the black/carbon leatherette and it must be the flash on the camera that made the perferated parts of the seats look so much lighter, I feel much better now I also found out that my car is going to be made this Thursday and from that point my MA said it should get on the boat in 10-15 days, meaning by the end of the month the car is heading here!!!
