Another poster was asking about my Dark Blue leather seats with the orange stitching, and I went to the MINI configurator to try to find a better picture of them for him. I could still configure a convertible with Dark Blue leather seats, but the stitching appears to be light blue now.

Has the Blue/Orange been discontinued, or is there some option/package I needed to select in order for them to show up?

 

Don't know the answer --- but with the dealers only taking orders for a week or two more on the R52, I guess you could say that it will be unavailable soon enough.
