Named after Sir Alec Issigonis, the inventor of the Mini. More pics in my gallery. I am loving this car !

 

Congratulations!

 

Sir Alec is gorgeous - especially that interior! Wowza - love it...

What a beauty!!!

 

Looks great! I ordered Dark Silver also. Did you delete the PDC or is it really that invisible on the rear bumper? I can't see anything.

 

Thanks everyone ! Yes, it has PDC. The sensors are now mounted on the lower black valance, under the painted bumper. They are visible in the picture attached.

 

Very nice, you gotta love that English Oak. What is that under the toggles?

 

After-market XM module, I assume?

 

That looks a lot better. If I'd had known that's how it was going to look, I probably would have ordered it. Too late now.

 

Nice Car! Congratulations!

 

Thanks, I was on the fence with the English Oak, and almost went with piano black on the dash....I'm glad that I went the oak, with everything else dark, I like the warmth of the oak.

Sirius is under the toggles, routed to the AUX input. I could not wait another month for factory Sirius, but I may add the OEM module if/when it becomes available.

 

Looks nice. I went for Piano Black because I'm not that fond of the grain of Oak, and prefer woods in their natural color (rather than stained). If it had been Walnut or burl of some kind, I would have been all over it.

After getting Piano Black, I think perhaps I should have gone for the Oak. I'm not that crazy about the PB on the dash. I wonder if Oak panels can be ordered separately and switched?

 

I love the piano black, but I thought I needed to brighten up the interior a bit. You can order the oak...go to realoemparts.com to get the part numbers.

I wish that the wood was available in BMW's Vavona Redwood..talk about a beautiful wood !

 

Very nice! Welcome to Sir Alec.
