After driving my new Mini around, I'm very happy with it. Real fun car!

However, 20/20 hindsight tells me I woulda liked the anthracite headliner and piano black trim. Oh, and the alternate wheels, since I think the stock R56 wheels I got are ugly.

I'm still not 100% on my Lightning Blue color choice, either. I think the chili red and the green are offset real nicely by the black stripes & roof, too...

 

I'm not particularly happy with the Piano Black dash. The English Oak might have been better. If the black lounge leather didn't have the silly white piping I would have gone for that. If Nightfire Red had been available for MCS' I'd have gone for that with red lounge leather.

 

I'm already beginning to wish I had gotten the NAV. Otherwise, I'm sure LiB w/black stripes and roof looks awesome anyday!

 

Order sooner!

 

i wish i have gotten lighting blue/black instead of dark silver/black.

 

mmm i just got everything i need in my 07 MCS.. the anthracite headliner was ordered for me on the last minute! thanks god i wasn't late to change!

but for me mmm if i wanted to buy another 07 MSC i would chose it in silver with red lounge interior..

 

anthracite headliner and mfsw (no cruise sux!!!)

 

Nav. for sure...but still think is way too expensive, but it would be such a nice addition. I'm very happy w/ the rest of my options

 

After one week, I'm pretty happy with my spec. I still might have added the comfort access but I'm alright with it.
Well, I guess a full-on JCW setup would have been nice, but that's greedy.
Maltese, I dig the LB/black. I almost ended up with that but went with the BRG after seeing it in the dealership. Hard to go wrong either way in my book.

 

Bluetooth. As was explained to us, we thought it was part of the NAV which we got. Very dissapointed when it wasn't there and more disappointed since it looks that it may not ever become a dealer installed option.

 

Not much for me. The price of leather, bluetooth, comfort access, and nav make them completely out of the question. So I kind of wish I had white lights in the back and the anthracite headliner. But neither one of them really seem worth the extra money for.

 

The sirius, audio upgrade and rear fog lights. Wait, I wanted the sirius so bad I gave up my MCS in production and re-ordered. This was a very difficult decision. Won't be delivered to September+-. O well

 

No, I would change absolutely nothing at all...not one thing. Ask me in five years I'll likely say the same thing (if my '03 is any indicator). My only mods were done within the first 1/2 hour......a shorty antenna and a chrome John Cooper signature badge for the boot. I will say that since this was my second MINI I did not hold back....but even then I got only a few select options. I think it's perfect.

 

The ONLY option on mine is sport suspension. My other three MINIs all had Premium and Cold Weather. I miss the multi-function wheel the most. May have one retrofitted when the kits are released.

 

Nothing at all

 

nav, V8 with Holly 4 Barrel..hehe

no. 85??????????

 

Small things: rear fog ights, anthracite headliner, white turnsignals... These wouldn't have amounted to much expense in the long run. But I had to draw the line somewhere, and am fine with it as it is.
Big things: I wish I had not gone with the sunroof; it just lets in too much light, even though a limousine tint seems to have taken care of it. Two sunroof adjustments later, it still makes a tiny bit of noise from 70mph on, although playing some tunes masks/makes me forget it. For similar $ it might have been wiser to have passed on the Premium package and to have chosen an automatic trans, instead. Living in L.A., that stop-go traffic just isn't fun w/ the 6 speed. Now, when I get away from traffic, I'm a happy pup.

 

I wish I had:

1.) LSD
2.) Anthracite headliner
3.) Nav
4.) Convinience Pack
5.) Hi-fi
6.) Rear Park assist
7.) Alarm

Shory lish eh

 

I bought mine off the lot, so I compromised a bit. If I'd ordered I'd have added: Sport suspension, DSC (maybe, hope I don't need it, but putting on the brake on hills so you can't roll back is nice), heated seats I wanted here in central AZ. I'd have gotten the English Oak MFSW to match my interior too. I'm trying to get that traded out, but so far my MA says I cannot. I didn't want to spring almost $2300 for the Nav or a similar amount for 18" black JCW wheels/tires but I was tempted on the wheels. I'll probably spring for wheels when my runflats go bald and get regular tires with 18" black wheels. I do love the flame spoke 17" wheels though.

 

Red lounge leather, if it had been available with black door panels. Otherwise, very happy with my spec.

 

I sacrificed on some things, but think I got everything that will keep me happy.

NOW I JUST WANT MY CAR!!!

 

Geez, I think the only things skipped were the Nav, Sirrus, Convienience pack, armrest and JCW body kit!!! I think I can live without 'em.

 

Clear turn signals & MFSW. I would have minded the JCW side skirts either

 

Rain sensing wipers and LSD.

 

I'm with the piano black and red lounge leather seats...they look simply irresistable! And if I could order a second MINI, it would be PW/B with stripes S........I just love that combo!
