2008 MCS on order!

[335iDriver]

Astro black, Cold/Sport/Convenience/Premium packages, MT, nav and checkered side scuttle. Brecht Mini "has" to install Slo Jack and a perma paint protection. But I contested the Slo Jack and got $450 knocked off. Total price of $30,185.

Should take two months for the build and delivery process. The wife and I are excited. :alright

Sounds fun... we bought off the lot, and got everything the missus wanted (Prem/Cold/Conv., auto trans). No leather, but it does have the piano black accents. $28.6k, as I recall. Which wheels did you order it with?

We got the "pleather also" because our 65lb boxer will have to fit inside it everynow and then. Piano black is pretty cool. We got the standard sports package wheels. I think they look fine. I dig the upgrade black rims but missus didn't like them.

We had leather on each of our previous R53s. It was nice, but like all leather, needed lots of attention to stay nice. Just wasn't worth the $1200 to us; plus her new commute is 35 miles one way. That's a lot of seat time, I see the interior going pretty soon. We'll probably have the car 3 years max.

Sport wheels are very nice. The 'crown spokes,' right? I hear they're lighter than the old S-Lites (very good thing). Probably a good call on not upgrading. $2500+ for OEMs is kinda crazy. When your stock shoes go, you can use the stock wheels for winter tires, and upgrade to a better rim than MINI's for probably less money.

Boxer==favorite breed by the way, used to have one. Wife talked me into a Jack Russell 14 years ago, he's still very much alive, but does not play well with others, or I'd have another Boxer by now. ;)

I've got the Boston Leather on my 335i and though nice its just a seat cover. I don't allow "Hopper" my 65lb knucklehead in my BMW. But having the pleatherette it should be fine on the occasion he gets to ride in the Mini. I didn't know the crown spokes are lighter so thats way cool. We wanted to load the car up with options but kept it around 30k so not too bad. Hopper loves to play with others. What a good guy.:D
