Nightfire Red sure isn't available for the S on the configurator.

I got the lightning blue with the silver racing stripes and pillars. I really wanted the yellow with black stripes and pillars, but they didnt have it for the S. I don't understand why they would make some colors available for Clubman and not Clubman S, but oh well. I just feel like I got something pretty standard. I'm sure it still looks great, but I wish they had yellow available.

I also live the green with black stripes

Lighting blue is very nice. It was our second choice. But all along, we wanted Hot Chocolate so that's what we got. It is topped with a sexy silver roof It seems that, at the last minute, MINI made Hot Cocoa available in the S. Regarding non-availability of Mellow Yellow in the Clubman S, I do not understand it. BRG with a black top in the Clubman S is also a sweet combo. I am sure you are gonna love the car when you see it. All regrets often seem to go out the window.

I also wanted the Mellow Yellow with black and went through withdrawal when I saw they wouldn't produce it in the S Clubby. I configured and printed every color and was going to go with Lightning or Laser Blue, but switched at the last minute to Chili Red with Black. I thought of getting the regular Clubman just to be able to have Yellow, but my husband insisted I need the S for power up some of the Arizona hills.
I'm happy and can't complain as the CR with Black and dark tinted windows looks great. OTTO is going through the Panama Canal tomorrow so another 2 weeks or so and my 25 month wait is over. Still hoping I live to see him.
If I had gone with blue and silver, the name would have been Angel.
Believe me, after looking at all the colors at MINI dealer I really could be happy with any of them. Sorry to chime in on your conversation, but I was so disappointed at not getting yellow.

Lead Time

Placed my order Jan 15th, began construction Jan 26th, finished being built Feb 1, arrived Southampton Feb 3 and onboard AIDA Feb 4. If I was East Coast, then I'd have the car in February, but since I'm in AZ it has to go through the Canal to California and then be shipped---which I'm guessing for a delivery of March sometime.

Hope this helps...

Ordered mine first week of January - they took one that was in production and put in a change request. They quoted March 31st, but said it should actually come mid March. Got a call yesterday - it has arrived at the dealer.
I don't know when they will actually release it to me (I am near Toronto, and they have not yet launched), I suspect not until the official Autoshow launch.

BRG / Black Roof / Beige leather / sport pack / convenience / comfort / sun roof / lsd / and some other stuff that doesn't come to mind at present...

Doh!

It's an s / black bonnet stripes / piano black trim / anthracite head liner / chrome trim in and out / flat boot floor kit / and it's actually my wife's valentines gift - but I think she will let me drive it when it's dirty and needs a cleaning ~ or when it's running on empty!
