As I was in Amsterdam, or rather outside of it, for work, i noticed a bmw/mini dealer in the town i was in (amstelveen) and so i went over to check out the new MC's.
They had laser blue, astro black, and pepper white (which looks rather more ivory than white, but very nice color).

Base price of MCS there is 29,960 euro or $39k !!
By the time they were tricked out (all the dealer ones had leather, etc, premium packages etc) they were at 36k euro or $47k.

Don;t know how many they would sell over here at those price points.
The arm rest looked and felt a but flimsy.
Colors looked good.
Interiors were all various types of leather etc, but the cream piping seats looked nice.
The last pic is some lucky dutch dude about to take a test ride

Karl.

 

I do like the look of those seats... Wonder if I should go that route when I order? I'll try to at least see it in person first - I think that's the best way. Do you, by any chance, remember if the seat bottom (i.e., the part you sit ON) has that same pattern as the seat back in the above picture? That is, the part your coat is covering up?

 

That blue top is very nice with the LB body

 

thanks for the pics, the car looks awesome

 

Wow, that's expensive. I guess people who pays over MSRP in the U.S shouldn't be complaining.

 

They're cheap in the US, mine was £22k in the UK!!
