Just picked up my "S" Friday evening and just let me say to all those who are still waiting--IT'S WORTH IT One thing I did notice though, the brakes give off a lot of dust. It might be because the pads are new? Anyway, I've never been happier with any vehicle I've ever owned. (Sure wish I could have rolled down the windows. I had them tinted and they can't be rolled down for 3 days. Oh well)

Congrats Roadglide! I know Im looking forward to my Mini arriving! Have a good time.

 

Lots of brake pad dust is normal....nothing to worry about. Some folks switch pads eventually...I just clean my wheels (alot). Once I got use to it, it was no big deal. So glad you're enjoying your MINI!!! Happy motoring!

congrates
lots of brake dust about 500 miles of "braking" then wash your wheels lots
It's ok ,the brakes are very nice.. NOW!!!! stopped.
Have some mayor fun ,getting close to saying best ,,for me

 

Congrats Roadglide! It's posts like these that keep my MINI dreams alive.....and happy I didn't order another "commidity car" - beamer, etc, that I could have walked off the lot with to my specs, likely!

 

As long as it's not BRG it will continue to be worth it....if it is BRG, you might as well go right back to the dealership and get them to buy it back so they can ship it the hell to Germany or Slovenia......here's hoping you made the right choice, got yourself a CR or IB one.....enjoy!!! I sure do not enjoy mine...it is SOOOOO slow, poky and ugly....Every day I ask myself why I didn't buy an Imprezza......

Sorry you feel that way (unless you're playing).

 

The car in his sig looks like its BRG, so I think he's playing :smile:

But geeze, you guys are all killing me! I pick up my new MCS on wednesday! Oh the agony of waiting!

 

AAAHHH!!!

I can't stand it!! I ordered my MCS last weekend, and it is going to be about another 7 weeks till it gets here! Not sure if I will make it!! I want my car!!!!!

I still have to wait 6 months for mine.

 

>>I still have to wait 6 months for mine.

Actually, no. You don't.

You could order one to spec and have it in under 2 months, or find one on a lot and have it much sooner.
