3 coupés in So FLA

We got our 3 Coupé demos today and I am very excited, I took the S 6MT for a spinning and felt tight I did notice that the bucket seats were just right and perfectly snug for me, the ones we got came with the punch blk/beige leather which looks 10 times better then the regular punch leather, the MINI yours wheels look ok but I fancy the conicals or the bullets, the front lip looks super, is rounded to keep the lines of the front bumper and looks a bit extended.











Enjoy it!

Thanks for sharing the pics. Did you guys happen to get in a JCW Coupe demo? If so, could you please post pics of that one too?

So far, it appears that the pre-configured dealer demo Coupes are coming in with the same configuration (i.e. one blue/black MCS Coupe and one black/silver MC Coupe). It will be interesting to see what the JCW Coupe demos look like (configuration-wise). I'm guessing that they'll all be white silver with red tops.

Your welcome guys, I do not think we will get a JCW for demo, I truly think we are going to be getting about 4 or max 5 spots a month each dealer I know my first 2 spots for JCW are sold. :

Will post more tomorrow of the details like the front passenger foot rest, which is way cool!

I'm curious..

Does the spoiler at 50mph stay up for a specific amount of time before it goes down or does it go down INSTANTLY at anything below 50mph?

I'm just curious because some city streets are 50-55mph yet they still have an occasional stop light.

I read somewhere it goes up at 50 and down at 30. If up and down at the same speed would be annoying if you were hovering around that speed.

Thanks for the shots, keep seeing LB's with Black roofs. Very happy about this since ours is silver(with a silver roofed GP next to it no other color was possible)

I'm not crazy about it. I think it is great Mini has expanded it selection, but it doesn't do anything for me. I prefer the regular S hatchback. Just my $.02.
