It came today!

Our new BRG MCS came today! On the 40 miles back from the dealer I averaged 38.1 MPG. OMG! Of course I was taking it easy during break in, but still........

I love this car, but as others have pointed out before, I am slightly bummed about the missing toggle in the center console, and the blank spaces in the rear filler caused by not ordering rear fogs. I didn't even think about it until it was too late (in production) . Regardless, I will DIY the rear fogs when I have a chance, add a rear sway bar, add Philips +80 bulbs to the headlamps and fogs, install my "light-in-sight" and be happy

The car drives great though, and I love it. So does my wife and daughter, and we are used to driving Tahoes and Range Rovers. This is way more fun.

Congrats Enjoy the motoring, and it sounds like you already are. Don't forget to wave or give the thumb's up to your fellow MINI motorers on the road.

I would have also considered....

Black on black......also very hot.

BRG is a masculine combo in my opinion, and I had this on MG's and Jags in the past, and loved it. It looks just great in my garage tonight. First night home!

I also dig my black roof. mirrors and bonnet stripes.

Congrats eburr! It looks great. Can't wait to get mine. Was in the paint shop yesterday and was scheduled to be completed today. Hopefully wait for ship and at VDC will not be long.
Red Dragoon....see you are in Bloomfield, I live in Montclair. What dealer did you get yours from?

Congrats. BRG looks great, but I must say, you look pretty young to be driving.
