(awesome to see you back Tony!)

as for the title question; it was, and I did. Mr.Motor and MM2 are identical window stickers, 'cept one was an '03, and replacement is an '04.

 

If it happened today: Goodbye MINI. Hello WRX.
If it happened next year: Goodbye MINI. Hello 1-series
If it happened the year after that: Goodbye MINI. Hello Boxster Coupe

If it happened to me, I'd get the same color combo, maybe the HK (I kept the stock system far longer than I had imagined) definitely xenons this time, and maybe the anthracite interior instead of the alloy patina.

I would also buy back whatever is left of the wreck if the powertrain and electrical systems were still useable. There'd be some serious modding and experimenting potential going on. I LOVE having a parts car.

My MINI would be much like I have now
Can I have your NAM position ,,,, you seem to reject MINIs even down the road MINIs
I'm looking forward to owning a few more MINIs down the road.

 

I'd probably switch things around a bit, although I don't know what I'd do differently.
I'd add the driving lights and 17" wheels...beyond that, I don't quite know...

 

I'm not anti-MINI, but after serving my dues with a 2002 Cooper S, I'm looking for a change with my next car. That doesn't mean I wouldn't want another MINI in the future though.

 

That happened to me and I just found a duplicate CR/B MCS.
I got so used the NAV, that I looked for one with it. Los Angeles is hell and I"m often in unfamiliar areas. It saves me time.
I won't order the leather again until they boost the quality.
I don/t race so 16" wheels are for me.
I'd add the rear Fogs just for fun.

Colors...I LOVE the hyper blue, but I heard it's a Jan 2005 phase in..

 

Hmm... I'd switch up the colors just because there are far too many awesome MINI colors to get 2 of the same! I'd go with IB/B or PW/PW rather than my current CR/W. I'd keep the MFSW, ditch the auto AC, get the NAV, possibly ditch the HK, get some driving lights and fog lights, ditch the racing stripe (go with the solid look to change it up- plus they're such a hassle to get right), and keep the xenons. I'm also intrigued by the new interior colors for the 05's.

DiD- you're going backwards. WRX then Mini then FR perf car... no?

well, you'll like the WRX if you're willing to spend a lot of money on it.

 

Well, hopefully I wouldn't have to encounter this question in real life, but if I did, I think I'd pretty much stay with the same model and options, probably get BRG/B or maybe that new blue that's coming out, although I think it's just available for MCS. I still love the PS/B combo, but with so many great color options I'd like to try out a different one. I would also get xenons.

 

I'd drop the auto A/C. Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing! :smile:

 

I'd get almost identical. If I could get orange in a hardtop MCS, I'd get it, otherwise stick with the LY/B. I'd like a stereo that would read MP3s, and the power outlet in the boot, but otherwise the same. I don't know if I'd get the factory driving lights again, since they were forced on me by the dealer, but I like the rally light look. Dealer specs, yeah, just about the same.

 

the same just with the model year updates. all 3 packages, H/K, leatherette, i'd add rear fogs, aux port, and satellite radio too

 

>>Just curious how many Mini owners would order the exact same Mini again.
>>
>>-Would you choose a different color combo?

Yes, I'd get the orange color. :smile:

 

I have DS/B with CB leather and I like it but then again change is good so I would go Black/Black with CB leather and would not get the H/K cuz I am starting to think about upgrading my system.

 

I'd switch to the upcoming ('05?) MCS Automatic, as long as it isn't too much of a slush-box, and if it offers a steptronic mode like the CVT. Too bad they aren't planning a CVT for the MCS.

 

I'd still pick an MCS over an MC, but I know I'd pick a different color, but probably the same options.

The color difference would only be because of karma and needing something new. As far as options I'd probably take the same ones because I like the loaded MCS.
