This thread will help folks decide which of the many possible R56 interior configurations is best for them.

 

Note, the steering wheel on the correct side!!!

 

That's the correct side if you're a mailman.

YES! Anthracite headliner! Looks great.

Piano black dash and creme white colorline

 

Standard grey with brushed alloy interior. Looks very nice with my DS/B

 

What is anthracite roof liner? not quite sure what to look for or how to differentiate it from a standard roof liner that it would come with?

 

Looks FANTASTIC! Wish that two tone red came with leathette/cloth option...dont wanna fork out the 2 grand for the rooster red leather :(

 

The Rooster Red Ray Cloth/Leather upholstery is a $1,000 option.

 

Here are some pics of my MINI's interior. It has the grey trim and brushed aluminium dash. The dash pieces btw are made of real metal, not just plastic with paint! They are sturdy and very nice looking.

 

If you look above at the post from inomis you'll see the anthracite headliner. All the option does is make your grey headliner black. It can really compliment certain interior/exterior color choices.

 

Well, specifically, the anthracite matches the darker grey of the dash, seat belts, etc, so it can simplify and solidify the color palette inside.

I got the tuscan beige interior, and got the anthracite headliner because I didn't want the light tan against the light grey... I preferred how the seatbelt and dash and headliner all tied together and left the light grey only as an accent color on the dashboard.

 

Here's mine:
Sport seats, Cloth/Leather Pacific Blue/Black,Pacific Blue Color Line, Piano Black Dash, Anthracite Headliner.

 

So what is that option that includes colored dash accents to match the seats?

 

I've got the same exact combo with a Lightning Blue/Black exterior. I highly recommend this combo. The chili red/black with the red/black interior combo is awesome too.

 

 

that looks very classy dchautin

 

Color line, it's in the interior options on the miniusa configurator. You have to scroll over a bit to see the options and not all colors are available in the color line. Colored seat options are a separate item.

 

From what I can see, I really like the looks of the cloth seats! From the online configurator, I didn't get a very positive impression. But in an actual photo, they look very nice, and appear more subtle than the image in the configurator.

 

The cloth seats are great. My photos are a bit washed out. The seats are black, with nice black checkered flags in the centers. Combined with JCW mats, it's a nice look. I love the blue leather/cloth and blue dash as well. But, I was on a budget, and performance and function (lsd, cold weather pack, roof rack) took precedence over seating. So far, I think I made the right decision.

 

I've been curious about how the cloth seats look and feel. Dealer doesn't have any to see in person. Could you take some less washed-out pics just of the seats (including the back seats)? That would be very helpful.

 

How about picks of the upper and lower glove box areas? I haven't seen any pics of the new dash storage.

 

 

Which silver is that, fluid, checkered or fine white? Or maybe it's brushed alloy? It looks great.
