I learned from Towne MINI of Buffalo that they will have 07s at the Buffalo Auto Show. The MA I spoke to was unsure of colors/options they were getting to bring to the show but the 07 R56s will be there in MC and MCS modes.
Here is a link to the show's website -- http://www.buffaloautoshow.com/

 

designerMINI: Wow as soon as I read this I called Towne they confirmed to me as well, that's my hometown show! Normally a very sleepy show

 

I went to the DC one today, it was real nice!
