Wow...amazing color combo!!!!! I predict that you will have a very fun weekend, and yes, if you feel compelled to sleep in the garage that is normal.

Nice!

Those must be the 17" with the crown spokes right? Are they all-season? That's what we have coming on ours. Yours looks great!!!

Looks nice! Got to take better pics when you get it. Would love to see how that silver top looks in good light.

Yes, they are the 17" crown spokes with all season tires. I assume the door edge guards are just part of the shipping configuration.

Love the Pepper White w/ Silver.
I have a JCW Clubman on order that I was thinking about
ordering in Pepper White and Silver but opted for Sparkling Silver
with Silver Top and "C" pillars.
The body and roof colors that are both light colors make the
car look kinda classey and not show dirt.
I hope somebody doesn't throw me in JCW jail for
ordering a JCW car in Sparkling Silver!

No jail time from me! I think you'll be less of a target for the Police!

Did they take the deck stripes off? The tint adds so much to the PW just had my car done also.

Post pictures when you re-do the stripes. We left ours on . . .



We think it's a great color combo.

Brought her home today. Finally decided on no stripes! Everything seemed just too much with the carbon fiber scoop that I just love. The drive home was amazing. Was really feeling bad about turning in my E60 530i, but now I am pretty sure I will not miss it at all. The power and BMW features crammed into the Mini is simply amazing. https://www.northamericanmotoring.com/gallery/uploads/31933/Clubman_delivery_1.jpg

That looks awesome! How is the ride on the 17"'s? Our test drive was on some 16" performance tires.

It has the sport suspension as well and I have to tell you, it was really similar to the 530i! I also have a 2006 regular non-S Mini coupe and the Clubman's ride is vastly superior.
