No regrets but I must say that I love the Black with the white top and white stripes. Trying to keep up with my black top drives me crazy just by it self so It would drive me insaine trying to keep up with that color combo.

 

Ordered a Chili Red and changed my mind in time to get Electric Blue. Very happy to have made the change in time. Not that red isn't good, I just prefer the blue.

 

no regrets, ever....but making a decision (about the colour) and sticking with it was a tough one..... Mick

 

I'd have to honestly say that I did, but it was about one year after ownership. Now I realize that my choice was perfect. My next MINI will be a different color and combo. I just have to talk the Mrs. into getting a MINI. She won't let go of the SUV...

 

 

Nahhh... JB just gives me a reason to get out and spend an afternoon in the driveway.

The house stays a mess, but the cars are sure clean!

It doesn't looks like this all the time, but I do my best. (Yeah, I'm a picture wh0re...)

 

actually my PW/B does not get dirty easily, it's just the back that gets dirty.
Luv PW/B really classic, but would like a HB/B too, it looks really cool.

 

At the time the wife and I got our beautiful BRG MCSC, Pepper White wasn't available. Too bad...

 

I was going to order a CHili Red with white top but found everything I wanted at the dealership in a Chili Red with Black top. I have had Gunner for over a month now and like the color combo better then if it were white top. I'm looking into some a panel graphics soon with black and red plus some symbols.

No regrets.

 

I love Hyper Blue... at first I was disappointed when Indi Blue was no longer available, but once HB came along, I was completely satisfied with it... and I think it fits me well since when I'm in a good mood, I tend to move hyper-fast.

That being said, as much as I love HB, I probably would have gotten BRG... except that I already have a very nice deep green car, that I intend to keep... and I really didn't want to own TWO green cars!

Just last week, I was at my dealership (MINI of Sterling) and they had both a BRG hardtop and a BRG convertible in the showroom... ahhhh... I loved them both... even though it's metallic (although I personally don't mind that), I think BRG is awesome on a MINI!

 

I have a Chili Red Convertible but my 2nd favorite color choice was LY. Since I plan on hanging on to the convertible & getting a hardtop in a few years, I kinda wish I had gotten LY for my covertible (since they d/c it) & I could have gotten red for my future hardtop. Ahhh well maybe they will bring back a nice yellow by 2008 or 2009

 

On my '02MCS I had the DS/W and found out it is the best color to hide dirt of any of the colors. On my '06MCS SB/S I get just as many comments about what a pretty color it is as I did wiht the DS/W.

I just wish the SB/S hid the dirt as well. Now it always looks dirty.

 

I just got Space Blue with silver roof/mirrors (which they told me is new for '06??)

Still love it (it's only been three weeks)!! Wife says it makes the car look classy - she turns Chili Red when people refer to it as cute!!

 

i regret getting DS/W sometimes, currently, i would've traded it in an instant for an equal spec EB/B.... but when i ordered it they didnt have it and said it'd take 4 months wait, and i didnt want to wait that long...

another choice back when i picked up my car in 03 would've been ib/w

 

In '02 I originally wanted IB/W, but soon learned that it wasn't yet available. I changed to EB/W and finally chose DS/W. I'm expecting an '06 and when faced with ordering colors I went with DS/DS. I said good-bye to the white roof because I wanted white Shelby stripes from the bonnet all the way back to the bumper. The mirror caps will remain white. Maybe really having to face this decision again is the only true test. So, I'm changing the look.....not the colors.....and only ten more days to go.

 

It was SUCH a hard choice for me...Electric Blue was my favorite color from the get-go, then I convinced my Dad to get my Step Mom a Mini, and what does she get? Electric Blue with white stripes. Not only does she steal my top color, but gets an automatic! (No offense to anyone who owns an automatic mini, I understand why, I just prefer stick.) Anyway, now I am left with some other colors, problem is, I liked pretty much every color the same. I could see myself in red with a black top, indy blue with white top, british racing green with white top, dark silver with black top, british racing green with white,impatientimpatient, I didn't even know what to do.

Suddenly one day, my dad gets a call from Morristown Mini, saying they had a car, and since we had bought the electric blue from my step mom, they would "help us out with it"... So I went and saw it, and had never even considered the color before. Never had I seen pure silver on an 'S', only on a cooper, and maybe this was the reason why I had never looked. But I loved the silver with the black top and black stripes, and right when I saw it I knew it would be the car I ended up buying. I have been pleased with my choice ever since, and I wouldn't have my car any other way..

Sidenote: The reason why I wanted electric blue in the first place was because my favorite team is the Carolina Panthers, and I always loved the blue in their uniform, and I figured if I got a black top, I'd have their colors on my car. Their other color is silver... you guessed it: silver, black, but where's the electric blue? Well, I just put these brand new accents on yesterday....



There they are!

 

Nope, wanted a car slightly darker/richer than Dark Silver (which I do like as a color). Was going to opt for Hyper Blue to appease the other half were we ordering, happened to find this on the lot and that alone talked us into the JCW package (which I probably wouldn't have ordered however not waiting ~6 months was worth the extra price alone as I had already been trying to buy several used mint M3's (E36) for a couple months)

 

Nope, Hyper Blue is great!!!

I would have purchased Hot Orange if it would have been available in a hardtop though...

 

I originally put a deposit on a CR/B MCS and the dealer mistakenly sold the car. I went with my second choice which was dark silver.

The white top grew on me after about two weeks.
I had to lose the wheels & mirrorcaps for silver though.

I see a ton of DS/B with the blackout tint and blk aero grills, which is also a great look in a more darth vader-esque way.

I have gotten many comments from people who say the DS strikes the right balance between sophisticated, grown-up and sporty.

I feel some colors lend themselves to a high-octane color scheme...the DS wants to go under-stated if you know what I mean.

I have proceeded to remove the Red & amber from the lights and reflectors on the car for a more monochromatic look of black, white, silver and chrome.

just my .02 ...

 

Selling my 02 MC BRG/B in order to buy an 06 MC BRG/B. Looks classy. And yes, the Cordoba beige leather seats adds to the mix. (I will admit to liking almost all of the other colors)

 

I would've gotten my '03 MC in Dark Silver if it had been available, but it was only offered on the MCS so I went with Indi Blue.

Of the new colors, I really love the Cool Blue. But that's only available on the Convertible, which I would never buy.

If for any reason I ever needed a complete respray, I'd go with Cool Blue. I'd probably have the only Cool Blue hard top in existence.

 

Yes.... i LOVE HB and all... but my second MINI looked JUST like my first.......

so.... a month and a half in the shop later......

 

Nope - no regrets at all.....

same here. i switched from a CR/B to a JB/B and was searching for what felt like forever for a JB/B... then along came my second favorite color choice, DS/B, at an unbelieveable price for an 06.

I'm happy with it, but i still drool all over the JB's when i see them.

i am glad that DS doesn't show that much dirt .

 

I wanted Indie Blue/ White with black and blue leather. Couldn't get it on an S in 02. But I didn't want to wait for the car, so Chili Red and White it became! Love the car, but if I ever replace it, and there's a good blue, I'll buy it.
