Hello everyone!
I was hoping for better weather to take some pictures of my baby and introduce her to the BRG club but the rain/snow is not cooperating in the Chicago area (just like some other areas of the country).

I just got her about 2 weeks ago as I could not wait to order one (6-8 weeks were to much for me) and she have everything (an more) I was looking for

Here some pictures I posted on 1st Gear (I did not know the club existed); I will post more as soon the weather cooperate!

Happy motoring!

Another newbie...

I'm so excited to join this group! Just bought an '08 BRG Clubman yesterday, and he's gorgeous. Tuscan leather heated seats, black roof and pillars, English oak wheel and trim bits, sunroof, bluetooth, yada yada... It came with these crazy expensive JCW R105 wheels in black. I didn't love them at first, but they're growing on me. It also has OEM driving lights that look kind of goofy with their white covers, but I feel like I should protect them. I think there's an alarm, because of the blinking red light above the tachometer, but I haven't figured this out yet. My "new" Clubbie is only 1.5 years old and has 10,000 miles on it. I bought it from a Toyota dealer who priced it to sell quickly, and I feel like I won the lottery. Of course buying from a non-MINI dealer means I have no idea how most of the features work, or even what features I have

Hi kmcg! Welcome to the club and congratulations!
I am also a newbie as I got my clubman 3 weeks ago from a Porsche dealership and I have been learning everything by myself.

NAM is great and have a lot of information. Also, you can register your mini at the MINI owners' lounge (https://ol.miniusa.com/) where you can find more information.

By the way, your clubman looks like my Clubman twin! (minus the wheels)

BRG group

I didnt know there was an informal BRG group! I've had mine for a year (Cooper S with a few JCW additions). 8000 miles - about 2300 of it a recent trip to Houston. Great cars for local or long distance!

Joined the club on Monday!

Couldn't be happier with my new purchase!

Options are listed in my sig. By far my fave option is the English Oak accents, I think it adds so much to the interior. The seat heaters are hot as a ****, after about 5 minutes on the lowest level I need to turn them off becauser my buns are plenty toasty. Honestly, I could do without the $250 3 inch wide arm rest but what are you going to do, the car was basically exactly what I wanted, sitting on the dealers lot.

My only complaint is that the sport button isn't on by default (who would drive without it?).

Anyway, without further ado, here are some quick iPhone pics I snapped the other day.
