Have you tried the MINIUSA.COM site? You can use the configurator to show what your MINI would look like in any of the available colors.

Good luck!

Those look like R53s with non-metalic BRG, not 2007s. I believe the current BRG is only available in metallic.

If you can wait a week or two I'll have way too many pics for your viewing pleasure.

I've hear BRG has little clearcoat, compared to other colours. Can anyone confirm or disprove this?

The R53/R50 was never available in a non-metallic BRG. Those pics are all the exact same metallic BRG that's available on the '07 R56. The cars in the last photo are dirty, so they may appear to be non-metallic.

What BMW MINIs were available in non-metalic BRG? I'm quite sure I've seen some around.

None that I know of. I was shopping for mine in mid-'03, and all the factory literature was the same as the '02. BRG was metallic back then, and has been since. If they'd offered a non-metallic BRG, I'd have bought it.

The BMW Z3 was available in a non-metallic dark green for a while that would have been a good BRG.

Ouch! What did you do to get keyed? You didn't take up two parking spaces, or something?
