The Lighthouse package is apparently "Bi-xenon headlights,adaptive light control(lights move with steering wheel)and white turn indicators." Unquote. I believe they also offer auto hi and low beam

 

Ah ok. I think the adaptive lights are the conflict with the black housing if I remember correctly from playing with the build your own website.

 

Yes I believe so.

 

I'll take the blue one in Cooper S trim thank you very much!

 

I test drove a Cooper S Bayswater today in blue, loved the leather dash and the blue stitching on everything. Beautiful car.

 

We just became the proud owners of a Midnight Black Bayswater Cooper S. She is so cute and has spunk. I can't believe the fun that my husband and I are having. So glad to have found this forum that is all about MC.

 

Looks very nice in black !
Congrats !

 

just picked up my 2012 bayswater midnight black!!!! coolest car i have ever owned and it hasn't even been 24 hrs hahah

 

Excited about joining the club! My 2013 Bayswater blue S is officially on the boat!! I can't wait.

 

Welcome!

 

I'm yet to see another Bayswater on the road. Anyone else?

 

Me neither which is fiiiiiine with me! :D

 

Me too. Ordered mine without seeing one in person....and still yet to see one other than mine

 

I haven't seen any around but then again I'm pretty far from the nearest MINI dealership. I have gotten several comments on mine, which suggests that even though there are MINIs driving around here, this one is pretty eye catching.

I hate to bring up anything negative, but does anyone else here notice any persistent buzzing/rattling noises from the doors or elsewhere? I've had 3 other MINIs before and have read ample posts from people who complain about rattles, but I never had issues with those cars. This one, by far the most expensive MINI I've bought, is plagued with rattles/buzzes. I guess it should be expected from a car with such a rigid suspension but I guess I was hoping I'd miss that particular bullet again.

 

RVExotics.. yeah I have never seen one in my neck of the woods either (Long Island, NY).. although my father told me he spotted a kite blue variety (same as mine.. Dammit) on the parkway last month.. but I have yet to see one personally..

No rattles that I've notified thus far.. I've only had mine for 3-4 months.. and quite new to the MINI.. very satisfied thus far.

 

I get a slight rattle from the drivers window when it's cold (below freezing) and there is a little bit of ice on the glass. After the car warms up it goes away

 

Picking up my baby on Saturday!!! I can't wait to join the select Bayswater club. Pics to come!

 

Check out this Royal Gray Metallic Bayswater at Mini of Madison (WI)

Bayswater

 

Welcome to the club! Have you picked out a name yet?

 

Interesting, MINI made the Bayswater blue a standard color now.

 

So besides the stripes, what is special about the bayswater? I just got a '13 MCS with piano black inside and the bayswater looks identical except the blue and grey stripes.

Just curious is all. Never looked into them even though my dealer had 3 on the lot.

 

A few exclusive trims and options on the Bayswater:

1. As noted earlier the two tone bonnet stripes
2. Two tone mirror caps that complement the bonnet stripes.
3. 17" Black Sandblast Wheels (also exclusive on MINI Yours Soda Package)
4. Interior Dash has the stripes for the color palette used.
5. Leather seats, gearshift, hand brake, and floor mats are stitched with teal and gray.
6. Side scuttles and door sills have the Bayswater insignia.
7. Driver side seat has a badge with the same insignia.
8. Kite Blue body color, I believe is also exclusive to the package.

Let me know if I missed or incorrectly stated anything. Love this car!

 

Picked up my baby today!! Loving every second!!!

 

Congrats and enjoy the ride!

 

The bayswater group has been pretty quiet. There has to more of us out there, although I have yet to see another Bayswater on the open road
