Going to pick up mi mini tomorrow morning!!


Cooper S
jet black
anthracite headliner
cold pkg
premium pkg
sport pkg
chrome line interior
chrome line exterior
roof in body color
door mirror caps in chrome
anthracite dash
carpet flr mats (not the rubber pictured)
custom leather
window tint
chrome bonnet stripes
alarm system

To be added:
Anthracite armrest with compartment
Auxilliary Input
Rear Fog Lamps
Glove Box Organizer

The only other things I wanted were the convenience package and the upgraded sound system- but because the windows are tinted I don't really need the auto-dim mirror. I have a Homelink that I made from a visor of a different car. The auto-headlights and auto-wipers are appealing, but not necessary. The stock stereo is very good anyway, so no biggie there.

I had ordered a MC, but they had this one in stock, and it was a good price, so it's gonna be mine in 12 hours!!!

Yeah, it's strange. It's not even an option on the mini build site.

I think that is custom leather (aftermarket / not factory) as well. I love the contrasting stitching

Yeah, it's custom leather, done at the dealership. I know- that custom stitching really got me.

The chrome stripes, to my knowledge, were done at the dealer...

Definately one of a kind....Loving it.....if you don't mind, how much did the custom leather cost and did it include the rear seats?

Congrats!

what is happening to you, Ken?

I really like the car, love the black leather as well, only thing is the color of the rear plastic side of the seats, but it is a very very nice car, hope you enjoy it, good selection

Moritz MINI has someone that does custom leather for $200-$300 more than factory leather (price the MA related to me). There was a gorgeous MCS JCW there that the owner ordered with Vinyl and then had outfitted with black leather w/ red inserts and red piping... too hot!

Actually, without the harsh flash of a camera, it's anthracite, and it really looks good with the anthracite throught the car...

Giving up the custom build MC for a really nice MCS like this is a move I can forgive - the MCS is just so much more fun!

Not big on stripes either, but chrome stripes is something else. I hope the glare on sunny days doesn't hit to hard.

That is really nice...for the life of me I just can't figure not having a "black" color available in the whole 06 line-up. A JB MCS moved into the neighborhood a few months back and I blame them for my current Cooper madness...

Nice buy - now get out there!
