Zonker looks great. Yellow/Yellow is what I was considering since I seem to see a lot of Yellow Minis with contrasting roofs. Please don't pass this picture around or you'll spoil it for me.

 

willymcd: The mellow yellow is pretty much exactly like French's yellow mustard. Liquid yellow was lemony, the mellow yellow is a tad warmer/deeper. But just a tad.

 

The new yellow looks more "liquid" and less faded like a banana to me.

 

Congrats on your pretty new MINI, vader! I love the Mellow Yellow!

 

Congrats on the new MINI! the Mellow Yellow looks really nice

 

Very nice! I'm a sucker for a deep yellow.

 

Congrats on the new MINI, lovely colour

 

Love that color and the wheels are soooo cool!!!

Schweet!

 

Another in a line of beautiful autos. Way cool.

 

Congrats - Zonkers looks great! Enjoy your new baby.

 

Looks fabulous, I am also ordering the Mellow Yellow but with white roof and dark interior. Florida sun is too much for the black roof line IMO.

 

Looks awesome vader! Great wheel choice, they go very well with the car! Don't forget to give us all some "living with the R56" feedback in a few days after you've enjoyed it for a bit.

 

Love the color. What model/size wheel and tires are you running?

And could you tell me more about the electronical issues?

 

Oh yeah, now that is sooo sweet!

Congrats on your new R56!

Mellow Yellow looks very nice and doesn't need a contrasting roof to make it stand out. Love the wheels too!

That's a great name you gave him (Zonkers).

I do remember Screaming Yellow Zonkers... (ooops giving away my age now)! Do they still make them?

Enjoy and Motor On!

 

Screaming Yellow Zonkers

 

Lookin' good, T. Guess I'll have to go over to Moritz and drive one . . .
You're keeping Vader, right?

 

Beautifull color!!! Can't wait to test drive one myself this weekend.

 

You bet, two MINIs is better than one 335I any day! Vader was retired to weekends only last May and I have been driving a Honda FIT since then.
Every time I got into the Honda, it screamed 'I'm not a MINI', hence Zonker.

 

Wheels are ASA AR2 17x7 et 42. Tires are Kumho 215/45/17 both from Tire Rack.
As to the electronics comment......
As a well educated techie type of person who deals with a lot of electronic things, I found the new electronics (radio, blue tooth, OBC etc) to be hard to understand, not intuitive, unnecessarily complicated etc. I will need to read the manual more than once to master the new controls.

 

so you opted out of the runflats from the get go.

Is there any recommendations posted on NAM for a good patch kit to carry with conventional tires, battery powered pump?

 

Did you happen put one of those wheels w/tire on a scale?Also what wheel(hopefully s-winders?) did you have and can you weigh that also?

 

Is it just me but the new model sits kinda high. 4x4 lookingish...lol
Not good for body roll.

 

nice ride. Congrats
