the OFFICIAL Baker Street Edition owners thread...

ok everyone...welcome!

post up a few pics of your nice ride!

where ya from...and what-not...

Living in Charlotte, NC for the past couple years...Tallahassee, FL before then... This is my first Mini. I just plasti dipped the chrome front grills (upper and lower), headlight surrounds, taillight surrounds, cooper badge, and the chrome trip above the license plate. It looks great and I will get pics up in the not too distant future after another photoshoot. I love cars and that has been something that has fueled my fire since day one. My hobby has been automotive detailing for well over a decade now...quite passionate about that too!

I have had a few BMW's...both a '09 135i ///M Sport and a '06 Z4 3.0si roadster. I think my love for Mini's started back in 2003 when I used to always get smoked by them at autocrosses when I had my '03 VW GTI 1.8T.

AGAIN...WELCOME!

Well mine has been built and is scheduled on a 9/24 ship out of southampton. my dealer said this will be the first pepper white baker street out of their dealership. I have questioned my choice, as it almost seem that I have two different cars, interior of the baker street and as I'm learning the popular pepper white.

I have had mine for about 6 months. Love the interior, love the exterior. Pepper white is a great choice. Rooftop grey was my choice of color. It grows on me more everyday.

It was a difficult choice, but i have wanted the pepper white mini for sometime. The other appointments and interior is what sold me on the Baker street. My Mini actually landed in NY yesterday so it should only be about another week. My MA said this will be the dealerships first pepper white Baker street. But I do love what you have done with yours.

New member here.. At first I didn't really fancy the rooftop metallic grey colour as it strikes me as a shade of pink. Looking at it more though, the colour is growing on me and wished that I got it since it is a special edition colour.

Nonetheless, very happy with my Pepper White. I love how the black rims, body, stripes, roof and mirror caps contrast the light body colour.

Cheers!

A coworker asked me this week, "Is that your brown mini out in the lot?" Brown? Gray. There is a sort of brownish tinge to the gray. Nothing pink, tho.

Congrats on the Pepper White BSEs! Can't wait to see photos.

Another Owner

Hello guys I have a Baker Street also. I came across this thread tonight when I was trying to see how many Bakers were produced. I have seen only one like mine I will put a few pics on here to see if anyone has one like mine. If anyone knows how many were made I would really like to know.

I have a Baker Street

I love my Baker Street but unfortunately my daughter is getting to big to sit behind me. I love mine because it is the only one I have seen without stripes and with a body color roof instead of the black roof. If anyone can tell me the best way to sell it I would appreciate it. I have been trying to upload pics but it will not work. Thanks
