The BMW is an awesome machine. My wife loves her 328xi, black with gray interior.

But the MINI is simply pure pleasure on the roads. Welcome to the MINIverse.

Pretty much same exact situation as me. I love the E92 335 to death, by far fastest car ive ever owned, but as a DD i just simply didnt need it, and with the price of gas and payments of the car, going to the MINI was a great choice for me. I honestly dont miss the 335i at all. Well, maybe a little bit, but overall i think the overall size of the car takes some of the fun away. 135 im sure is an absolute blast.
It is a tan interior...the green is very rare...can't even find anything aftermarket for it since no one makes anything in the green!
A friend of mine got a 135 and I saw it yesterday. Nice car; much nicer in person than in pics. Still, my wife's Mini will be delivered in a couple days and I will be able to take a more informed look at the daily driving experience and see if it is something I am willing to sell the 335i for. I sure will miss the look on the faces of Mustang GT drivers though

Hrmm reading this thread makes me kick myself for considering trading my 06 Elise and 93 Miata for a Mini S and a bunch of cash.

Cosmos have you driven the R56S? To be completely honest I was never in love with the Mini until I drove it..once I did there was no turning back, it's an absolute blast! if you haven't, do yourself a favor and go drive one.
