Anything I'm missing?
 
I'm going to be ordering shortly and am looking for any feedback on my specs:

MCS
BRG/B w/bonnet stripes
DSC
LSD
Xenons
Rear Fog
Anthracite Headliner
Brushed Alloy interior
MFSW
HiFi
Driving Lamps

Anything you'd add or take off? Talking to an MA last week, I was told 6-8 week delivery time. I'm going to be out of the country for a few weeks in there - other than NAM withdrawal, is that going to complicate anything? (Basically, do I need to keep in contact with my MA once the order's in?)

Looks good to me. Just make sure it looks good to you!

Where you spend the eternity waiting matters not to the MINI peeps. So long as you show up when it does, everybody is happy.

Looks pretty good. Personally, I'd drop the Xenons, but I seem to be in the minority on that.

As for what's missing, here is my list: :wink:

NAV
Park Distance Control
Heated Seats
Rain sensing wipers

Your location shows up as ATX. Which looks like an airport designation. Which appears to be in one of the "stans".

So. Where will you be driving this car? The answer to that could drive the answers to your questions.

Guessing....Austin Texas?

Looks good. What did you plan for the interior accents and seat material?

Mini Bo Bini got it in one. Roads here aren't great, but hopefully better than rural Kazakhstan.

Robin, I appreciate your suggestions, but the first three are unnecessary and I don't want the fourth. I really, really am not a fan of auto-wipers or lights - as in, if it were more expensive to NOT have them, I'd probably pay it. Not meant to dismiss your suggestions, they're just things that aren't important to me personally.

I'm going with the cloth seats. I've never been a huge fan of leatherette, and don't care enough to pony up for the real leather.
