New '09 MCS Owner, definitely

Hello,
I went to look at a privately owned '09 R56 today. It is pepper white on pepper white, with black leather lounge seats, sport package, premium package, convenience package, rear fogs, factory aero kit, rally lights and a 6 speed.
I test drove it and was impressed. Mileage is 22,000.
We made the deal, and I should be getting it within 2 weeks.
I am excited, and can't wait to pick it up.
I'm sure I'll have lots of questions, but they will come in time.
Chris

Pepper white is a very timeless and classy colour! I am considering it and Midnight black for my next MINI! Congrats and welcome!

Thanks, yes, I was searching for PW or black.
I think the aero kit did it for me.
Here's what she looks like.
Hope the pic works.

Almost 2 weeks now, and I just ran through my first full tank of gas.
I averaged 32.4 MPG, calculated, City/Hwy driving.
The MINI seems well sorted, no complaints.
Just a little concerned about the cold start noise, but its isn't that bad, and goes away less than a minute after the morning start. It doesn't recur at all during the day.
I do feel a lot more aggressive driving the MINI, then my Sierra pickup.
Lovin every second of driving in the MINI.
Another satisfied MINI owner.
