Thanks, spykdpunch. I can't wait to see it.

Thank you so much! That's the first oxygen blue I've seen.

Thanks for the pic! My O2 Blue was in the paint shop yesterday! Can't wait.

This car seems to be in a bit of shade. Possibly making it seem darker than if it were in sunlight? Either way, I'm happy.

Awesome pic. Oxygen blue is beautiful even in the shade. Mini needs to provide more non-metallic blues!

The pic shows the same that I have seen here in Canada for color - but honestly the picture does not do this beautiful color justice! It would be my choice if I were ordering one too! Good luck I'm sure you will loooooove it!
P.S. It reminds me of a candy! It is beautifully glossy and smooth looking

+1

I'm very, very, very, partial toward Oxy-Blue!

My problem is twofold though.

I'm looking to place my order for an '08 MCS and Oxy-Blue is available only on the Cooper.

Guess I'll have to patiently wait it out and see what MINI offers in '08! :impatient

I feel the same way about the Nightfire red. I want an MCS but it only comes in the Cooper. Oh well. I'll be happy with the Chili Red.

I like the blues and blue is actually my favorite color, but none of them are quite right for me. Like the color that the sky makes on the snow after the sun has set.

ladykatedb,

I think I know of the shade of blue you're referring to. Very nice!

Would make an interesting MINI colour.

Hey BMW/MINI are you listening?

Oh, and BTW, make it a non-metallic blue would you (more non-metallics are needed in the MINI colour palette).
