WOOHOO, picking up my MINI this Saturday!

Congratulations!!! (again). I see you got all the options. 
Is there anything that MINI doesn't have??? That's going to be a terrific car. Take care of each other.

Sweet, I love the interior. See, on the configurator I didn't like how they made the black seats with white piping look. But now that I see a real shot of them, they look great, especially with your white/black color scheme. Congrats!

Thank you sooooo much to everyone who posted! Seriously, words can't even describe my appreciation; without my NAM-ily I have no idea how I'd have gotten through this entire ordeal.
This interior combination seriously is killer, the configurator does it no justice whatsoever. I actually didn't realize until I saw it in person. The cream color line matches the piping EXACTLY, and although it's a bit OCD I just love that kinda stuff. Also the piano black with interior chrome line creates such a sharp contrast, it's a thing of beauty. I'd actually venture to say the combo goes better with PW/B then it did with my original SS/B. A full black and white theme.
Can't wait to see it once they get the black bonnet stripes on tomorrow afternoon. And I'll be putting the black JCW 18" double spokes rims on it around February once the snow stops (I'm in the NE). At the same time I put those on I plan to get the JCW driller front rotors.
The first few mods are beginning immediately in the way of the ALTA cold air intake, boost tubes upgrade, intercooler air diverter and shorty 4" antenna. I hope to get the turbo-back exhaust on by Thanksgiving and finally the front mounted intercooler around Christmas. ECU probably won't take place until some time in the new year and around that same time I plan to install the JCW strut brace. It's gonna be a screamer.
But first some proper driving courses.

I have the same interior (and exterior). I love it. Reminds me of a tuxedo. I find the piano black easy to care for. Love those heated seats...warm by the time I'm half way down the street...never need to turn on the other heat.

It's beautiful! I'm so glad that you were able to find another MINI that you're so excited about. Best of luck with the new MINI, and make sure to be extra careful - hopefully this one will have a long, happy life of safe motoring! 
Post lots of pics so we can all drool over your new baby! (Also, remember to go to the trial and make sure that your MINI murderer gets the punishment that they deserve!)
Hopefully I'll see you driving around Lancaster soon
