Pepper White/Black/Redwood Auto?

Greetings from snowy Switzerland.

Great forum guy and gals. Have searched the forum for an hour or so w/out joy, so sorry if already asked and answered...

Has anyone seen, or even better got pics, of a pepper white/black with redwood leather interior? Silver seems the popular match for this combo, but soo many Swiss cars are silver, and hey MINI should be different no?

Are there any reviews of the new auto box? This car must be an auto, and we didn't buy the last MINI 'cause the CVT was so clunky.

Thanks in advance.
Jane & Dan

Hi Jane and Dan

Earlier today I was thinking of the same color combination. I have not seen any pictures of them so far. Hopefully, someone else on the forum will have the picture we crave.

I have lived with the auto transmission for a month now and I've got to say it's the smoothest I've driven in a long time, of course my previous car was a 4 speed and this is a 6 so obviously it's going to be better in many respects, It moves through the gears very smoothly with much less lag time than many other autos I've driven, so there's my take, one opnion!

PW/B with redwood leather sounds amazing.

Thanks for the feedback. We think so too.

It would still be great to here from anyone who has seen those colours for real!

Well... she's ordered. May production, we await more precision.

Pepper white, black roof/stripes/rear windows, redwood interior.

We managed to see real versions of the exterior and interior, but on seperate cars. The colour rendering of both is difficult on the internet.. the white is definitely not pure white, and the red is a slightly rusty warm tone.

Still love to hear from anyone who has actually seen/got pics of this combo.

Poke around over at www.mini2.com. I swear I've seen pics there, but I'll be darned if I can find them right now. (It looked GREAT by the way. I think you'll be VERY pleased with your choice ).

Good tip, I searched and browsed to this

http://forum.mini2ig.de/showthread.php?t=25959

the first glimpse, albeit not too good, and certainly plenty of positive comments (in German).

I did run across a member who just got their PW/B with the Redwood Leather as I was researching my own. Here is a link.

I think this is a fantastic combination -if there was a bit more $$ in the budget I would have seriously considered!

Good Luck

Wow, it's really quite nice and the piano black and anthracite headliner really complete the look.
