It's here!
 
Picked it up this afternoon.

It had 6 miles on it. I love it. The visibility is a bit tough at first but correctly adjusting the mirrors fixes that. Nothing but compliments from everyone as well :D

Oh and one other thing.. I noticed the bluetooth speaker is now on the steering wheel. No need to do the mod to move it to the left side of the cabin like R56's.

Personally not crazy about the coupe, but I must admit that your color combo does look good! Congrats!

ACEkraut11 Oct 11, 2011 01:38 PM

Looks nice! Plus one on the color combo! Congrats!

Brisby Oct 11, 2011 01:38 PM

Wow, that's beautiful! Best looking Coupe I've seen yet.

Sweet Coupe! Thought of a name for her or him yet?

jbs111 Oct 11, 2011 02:18 PM

Looks great Pez!! Congratulations!!

bentyyc Oct 11, 2011 03:17 PM

Congrats! Love the colour combo!

Enjoy! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

I really prefer that color combo to the CR with the silver hat I saw here. Looks great, makes the roof look like it belongs there. Congratulations! Post some more pics :thumbsup:

Glad to see you finally have it. That MINI is going to stand out anywhere you go.

Cred Oct 11, 2011 04:29 PM

Great looking coupe! You configured well. Can't wait to read you impression of your first week of ownership.

Herby74 Oct 11, 2011 04:38 PM

You're going to absolutely love your S Coupe! I'll look forward to hearing about your experience.

chaswyck Oct 11, 2011 05:36 PM

Very nice! Thanks for posting the pic because I'm waiting for my MCS and this is my color combo - black over spice orange. Those wheels look great on that car too. Best of luck with it!

Jimbo Oct 11, 2011 05:54 PM

Wow !
 
That is absolutely gorgeous :thumbsup:

Lil' Red's Mom Oct 11, 2011 05:58 PM

:thumbsup:CONGRATS!!!! It looks great!!!

PezRadar Oct 11, 2011 06:11 PM

Thanks everyone. It has been a long long wait :P

I was really worried about those wheels being more gun metal as opposed to Black but they look absolutely ace. I smile every time I see that car now.

I'm also so happy to hear even the non Coupe fans compliment the color choices. Thank you guys for that vote of confidence! :P

It drives great. I am already use to the blind spots that they aren't an issue anymore. I have also been asked by THREE different people in one afternoon about my car. People love it :) Makes me smile!

jdurdick Oct 11, 2011 06:12 PM

Nice looking Coupe, I thought about the color hard too but would have preferred for it to be non metallic. Anyways that is only a tiny personal choice still looks great so enjoy it!

chaswyck Oct 11, 2011 06:14 PM

The plastic wheel trim isn't pure black so the wheels work great!

BillTheCat Oct 11, 2011 06:15 PM

Congrats, Pez! That orange looks way better in your photo than it did on the Configurator! Good choice going with the black wheels. Ties it all together nicely. Teh sexeh.

Pez and I both traded in our previous MINIs on Mazdaspeed3's. And we both just traded in our Speed3's on Coupés. Turns out our MINIs were built on the same day, rode the same boat, and were delivered the same day, 900 miles apart.

Got mine with 4 miles on the odo just before Noon today and already broke 100. (I should have been sleeping, because I work midnights) Here's a pic from our Bay Area MINIs dinner gathering tonight. I was a little early...

Looks outstanding Bill!

You and I were destined to get Coupes. It is hilarious how we both had MINIs.. then got Speed3's... and then got rid of those for Coupes!

And we both were on the same boat.. so bonkers :) Glad you got to reveal it to everyone today!

Yeah, the Configurator sucks for color, too dark/dull I think.

Bill, I'm getting the same color and wheels, plus stripes.

Pez, I like your use of black, really sets off the Spice.

PezRadar Oct 11, 2011 06:43 PM

Oh and I was really worried about the new clutch.. I did a test drive a few weeks ago and struggled with it..

But now.. it feels like it was built for me. That was even when I was pulling out of the dealership. So weird.. Guess I didn't have my seat adjusted right during my test drive or something.
