The mini2.com site has links to the German and French configurators for the R56:

You will be configuring an R56 even though the initial picture is of a group of R53s. Select a model and then work through the tabs in the bottom section.

Unfortunately none of the English speaking countries have their new configurator up yet.

 

Swiss is up too... can the US be far behind!?!

Maybe the pricing info leak (check MotoringFile) and the configurators going up left and right means that I might be able to place my order sooner than expected?

Not likely... but I hope, I hope, I hope!!!

 

How come you can't choose pepper white for the configurator?

 

Pepper white, as well as BRG and other colors are not available from the beginning. The complete color set will be available next year, at least in Italy (but i guess it is the same all over Europe)

 

I'm glad to see that the anthracite headliner is still available!

So I'm configuring #6 (this will be my sixth MINI) and I'm deciding less is more - but I'm wanting the following:

1. Sport Package
2. Sunroof
3. Heated Seats
4. Bluetooth
5. Anthracite headliner
6. Rear fog
7. Loth
