Just curious how many Mini owners would order the exact same Mini again.

-Would you order an MCS instead of a MC, or visa-versa?
-Would you change the factory options you picked?
-Would you choose a different color combo?

2004 MCS - PW/B w/Xenons

 

mine was wrecked last september.
i had a PW/B MC CVT.
this time around i'm gonna go for a BLK/BLK '05 MCS.
i want to see the other colors before i make a final decision,
i know i won't get pepper white again, it's bad luck!

 

I have a BRGB MCS with only sunroof and driving light as options. The only thing I would change is I would add the Xenons. On low, the standard lights don't do too well on some of these dark two lane county roads.

Now if the LSD or Dinan were available today then those too would be added. :smile:

 

Our MCS has every option but Nav, leather and reverse sensors. I'd spec the car the exact same way, but I might go with red/red instead of black. Not sure though, aside from having to keep it clean, I really like the black.

If I had the option to have an LSD installed, I'd do that too.

 

First I need someone to help me with the "wrecked beyond repair" part. There's a nice hardly used Magnaflow in it for anyone with a creative, safe, and discrete plan

I would drop the automatic air conditioning, and get the sport seats. Thats it.

 

I'd probley get a different color combo just for a change, and maybe skip the DSC, keep the sport seats.

 

Mine is DS/B MCS with all options minus nav and parking sensors. Next go round I would ditch the rain sensing wipers. IMO I find them distracting at times. Other than that I'd be right back for more of the same.

No..I'd stay w/ a MCS
>>-Would you change the factory options you picked?
No
>>-Would you choose a different color combo?
Yup..I'd order black on black w/ a lapis leather interior

Peace,

I have ds/ds, MCS with sunroof, multi-steering wheel,
16" y-spoke wheels... mmmmmm... might go for the
new blue, (whatever it's called)...

Dogspeed.

 

As they don't make Silk Green anymore, I can't get the same car. Otherwise, I probably would. Although I have been harbouring thoughts of how good the Liquid Yellow is, my next choice would likely be a Pepper White with the Cordoba Beige interior. Saw one at the Flow Rally and it looked fantastic!

 

I have an indi blue Cooper, so apparently they aren't going to make that color anymore.

Mine only has sport seats, sport suspension plus, and the multifunction 3 spoke steering wheel. I am pretty happy with it.

I'm not sure if I'd change anything if I had to do it over. However, the LSD in the '05 does make the Cooper S much more appealing to me . . .

 

Still in the honeymoon period (3 months). I’d get the same – although I might wait for the ‘05s to get the MP3 encoding in the stereo.

 

Smileee cam almost fully loaded (all 3 packages leather anthricite).
I would add the things that were not available at the time, HK, dimming mirror, auto wipers.

Cheers,
Jack.

I'd get a Black on Black MCS, or a IB/B MCS if I had to pick again!

I'm still pretty happy with my MINI color/options, but if the worse happened...sure I'd change up the color at least. (wait...its IB...I guess I'd HAVE to!) Whatever I got (maybe a JCW) it'll have a chrome grill for sure!!

 

Same color & options, with the addition of xenons & LSD. With the works, a bit too much torque.

 

My MC is so much fun to drive,the BRG /W is so nice,at least for me,And the simpler the MINI the better .After the paint and the heated seats,I can't see adding much.OH mud flaps,and the much awaited elbow landing device :smile: :smile:

 

Since Indi blue is on it's last leg, it won't be possible for much longer to get the same color combo. But that purplish color looks intriguing. All of my other options would be identical, though. Although I think I would get the 3 liter 12 cylinder boxer engine upgrade.

 

I would get the exact same spec. No changes - no regrets. :smile:

 

Ah'd get everything except the color....I'd probably get me a white job or a red job.....that way I could be faster, be more of a babe magnet AND get better fuel economy. I am telling you, ANYTHING but a BRG job......

 

i would re-order mine exactly the way it is...but if indi-blue is no longer
available, I'd go with dark silver/dark silver top (or black). :smile:

Is it because it is impossible to keep clean?

 

I'd prolly keep the same specs. MAYBE add the cold weather package, but maybe not. I've got EB/W with lapis interior, and magnesium (light grey) interior door panels, which are no longer available. I'd really like to keep those, and if my car was wrecked I'd hope that at least those could be salvaged to put on the successor. Oh yeah, I might go for anthracite instead of alloy patina dash.
