Hello all.

I know that there are a million posts like this on here each week, but I couldn't resist. I finally ordered my Mini today! I was on here a year ago asking questions, but then had to put off my purchase because I got married and there was just too much going on to think about buying a new car. Then I got back on this board about a month ago, and after getting some great advice from you guys, I picked out some options and ordered a car this morning.

I am getting a BRG MCS w/ White Roof and mirrors, Premium packge, front fog lights, and a hookup for my iPod. The dealer also suggested the Invisishield which I ended up getting. (did I waste my money or is this a good thing?).

So now all I have to do is wait till June!!

Thanks for all the advise up till now!

Bill

Congrats!! June will be here before you know it! Looks like a beauty to me (like they aren't all beaties!). the Invisishield isn't a bad idea as long as they don't charge and arm and leg for it.

I think over time you'll be glad you have that Invisishield. One year out, I sorta wish I had it. As for the specs on your MCS...SOUNDS AWESOME!!!! And, yeah, I can see where starting a new life with your loving partner would take precedence over an MCS....but that's about it, right?????

BRG/W is fantastic, even if I am a little biased!

You are going to love it!

Welcome to the board. You'll find water down the hall, and daily meds are giving at noon for your addiction

That’s to bad to hear that the BRG’s are so slow and ugly. Mine is schedule to arrive in early May.

I ordered a BRG/BRG MCS with an aero kit, chrome mirrors and white taillights that I’m fitting with silver SSR Comps.

I’ll have to post some pictures; that is if it’s not so ugly that it cracks the camera lens or goes so fast that the picture will be a blur.
