Just picked up a new MINI!!!
Bought it on Saturday and took delivery Monday. It is an all black MCS. Here are a few pics...

My dad helping me out to try and get a coat of wax on before the storm.



Covers on Driving Lights...

Covers off...


Right before the rain, didn't have time to wash off the mats before the pic...


Already ordered an intake from Alta, as well as a shorty antenna. Can't wait to be around on here. I haved owned BMWs before, and traded my E38 on this. I am on E46Fanatics as well (ZimZimma328Ci).

Very nice, motor safe and have lots of fun.

Great first set of pictures, remember to update after you have a few exterior mods.

She's a beauty!! I too, am a Bimmer nut and I actually sold my 2000 323 convertible and ordered a 2009 MCS Convertible that I picked up in June. I (and others) thought I was crazy but I am like a 16 year old looking for an excuse to drive all over again. The smooth pulling power of this S is intoxicating. Happy Motoring!

Best of luck with what was your new ride. Are you still keeping it that clean?

BTW, did they ever correct putting your steering wheel on upside down?

Haha, it stays pretty clean. I absolutely love those rubber mats, quick hit with the hose and they are clean. It was about to stom like crazy so I wanted to take the pics before the bottom fell out. As for the steering wheel, is that not how its supposed to look?

Thanks for all the replies guys! My springs come in today and exhaust should be here this week as well

Exhaust goes on at 8am in the morning, and might get them to do my springs as well while they have it on the lift.
