Options considered but left out from the final specs:

Hey look at this - nice thread. This was suppose to be secret until tomorrow
Well actually I already have a 3 Series so no need there! But that aside $35k it is not.
But why buy a MINI for over 30K? It's a good question and one I pondered for a long time. In the end, I want a MINI. I don't want another M3, an Elise or a used Boxster. I want exactly what I'm buying - pretty simply really.
LOL - just wait
Oh btw - some slight changes to the spec happened after this podcast - check out MotoringFile tomorrow for the full run-down and reasoning behind it.

I traded my '03 MCS for a 330i back in Sept '05. My wife and I thought the larger car would be better for the three of us, soccer, etc. Let's fast-forward a couple of years and the 3 series get's swapped out for my '07 MCS
The 3 series was very nice, but it ain't no MINI

Oh, I can't wait to see the "blinged" white w/chrome-line interior. Seriously, I'd *suggest* checking out other options. I have no doubts that the exterior of your MCS is going to be the best NAMers have ever seen, bar none. But I shall reserve judgement on the interior until we see some real life snaps.

ROTFL!
Or are you hiding something that we shouldn't know, like ditching the MCS at the last moment for an M3? Or even worse, moving away from the BMW family straight into the cockpit of a sexy little Elise?

Great stuff. Post pics once baking is complete.

I think this is going to be a killer combination. The all black car with the JCW aero kit is the perfect look. Although I didn't put this on my "Spec the MINI for Gabe" post on Motoringfile, the white accents and trim in the interior are also going to be very cool. I like the idea of a stealth exterior with a little bit of a surprise when you open the door. Actually, I confess that I speced the MINI for myself, and made it a stripped down car. However, I can appreciate the addition of the nav system. I never thought about the integration with the rest of the computer functions and the iPod interface that Gabe talked about on WRR.
I'm looking forward to seeing the final product.
