UPDATE 10/31
Our MA contacted me today about the breakdown of each package for the R56. See attached. Our MA, Rich Tran from Herb Chambers is awesome!

 

Lovely, just what I was hoping for. The Flame spoke wheels are quite nice, nicer than the Crown spoke alloys, IMO of course. I'm wondering how much better this second gen AT is compared to the first generation, which I've been told removes 90% of the performance???

 

I sure would have liked the power folding mirrors on my 06 MSC.

 

What is the Premium Steering Wheel at $550?!

 

Has a built in refreshment bar, and also does laundry :D

 

I'm really not sure, but it is not the same as the multifuction steering wheel. It is something different.

 

lets all pound phone calls to this mini dealer! =] jk!

:P

 

Great. Only a $400 dollar increase. I am really excited to order mine now. Did your MA say when ordering will begin?

 

If this price really includes fog lamps and onboard computer, then there is just a $50 increase in the base price. It ends up with a $400 increase by the time the packages are added as they stayed the same price even though the fog lamps and OBC were already on the car.

Strange that DSC is in the premium package as it is also in the sport package. If true, it is not worth getting both packages as DSC is $500 which is more than the savings from buying the components in a package.

 

MotoringFile is reporting the base model prices have been leaked (Winding Road initial report)

Woot =]

 

Woohoo! Now where's my checkbook?

 

Not bad, now let's see those options.

 

Not bad at all. I personally was expecting (fearing) it to be more along the lines of $2500-3000 overall. Kind of looks like I'll be able to spec out a (non-nav) R56 for a similar price as the previous generation MSC.

With France and Germany's configurators up and running, video of the asseblay line up and running, pics of new cars being shipped and US prices being leaked, could it be that we'll be able to order sooner than expected?

I hope, I hope I hope!!!

 

MF does mention more will come this week as info comes from MINIUSA.. So it sounds like everything should be revealed very soon (possibly this week)

 

I asked him, but all he could tell me was that they'll know as soon as they get their allotment numbers. Also a question for those from the New England area: Is the R56 going to be at the NE Auto Show at Bayside Expo in November?

 

I'm not in the NE area, and I don't know about that show. That kind of thing has never stopped me before.

Last I heard the /official/ unveiling of the car in the US was going to be the Detroit show in January.

-W-

 

No bad, sounds like an MCS with the options I want should list for less than $23,000.

 

wow, im surprised it wasn't a much higher price. will there be alot of mark up tho?

 

Markup isnt determined by MINIUSA its determined by dealers. Most dealers charge the standard MSRP listed from the website ... some bad ones don't.

BTW:

MotoringFile confirms and has official info from BMW

http://motoringfile.com/2006/10/29/2...ons/#more-5312

Explains what each comes with and the price increases

Sports Button Standard on all models! INCLUDING COOPER! =]

Has all the package information as well and what is included.

New Mini is debuting Presidents Day weekend February 19th 2007

I'm saddened by Nav Systems not until March 07 Production Models... I dont know if I should hold off till then.. (is this something they can install afterwards? : ()

 

This seemed like it was too big to not have its own thread.

http://motoringfile.com/2006/10/29/2...ons/#more-5312

MotoringFile has received the info from BMW!

R56 rollout events will be held on Presidents Day Weekend (Feb 19, 2007)

Check the link for all the info. I am pumped but a little buzz killed about the Nav system not being available in March 07 production models. So that means, I would have to have mine built in March and then delivery a month or two later ? Bah.. That is a long long wait =[

 

I love the JCW pics under the Hyper Sport Package......

 

Its only to display the Aero kit.. are you really going to turn this thread into a rant about MFile?

sheesh.

 

Yeah... wanna' see what rolls out from that hanger?

Looking pretty good:

 

WOW! Your getting off easy!

It's my first new car ever... so I'm getting all three packages, Redwood Red leather, Sport suspention and whatever stereo upgrade is offered (minus the HD and Sattalite radio). It'll come in in the high $28K mark... but it'll be MY CAR that way. Know what I mean?

 

They say the hyper sport package aero kit is the not the same as the JCW kit.
