I LOVE those wheels! I've got them on my Clubman. They aren't really that hard to keep clean either. When I wash them, I use some of the spray-on wax. They really clean up well that way. Enjoy your ride!!!!

Enjoy, and drive 'er in good health.

Beautiful ride, miniadik! I always wondered what color those chrome mirror caps would really stand out with and of course black is the perfect choice.

black on black with chrome line is a great color combo!

i see that you were able to get the visual boost. did it end up costing you or was it truly free by excluding the comfort bluetooth option cost 6NE?

Thanks everyone, I appreciate all the comments.

It appears that I only have the Visual Boost and this quote from Motoring File seems to explain things...
"During August production MINI made a major mistake with a handful of cars destined for the US. The cars were built with a display, but without MINI Connected. These cars were supposed to receive standard Boost CD radio system, but instead they were equipped with a high-resolution “MINI Visual Boost” screen, Combox Controller, Comfort Bluetooth, Smartphone Integration and a Center Arm rest. The best part? Because the option isn’t really an option it’s listed as no cost on the vehicle sticker.
What happened was the order code 6NE for Comfort Bluetooth on the 2010 models changed to all those other options that are apart of MINI Connected. So when dealers ordered Comfort Bluetooth the cars received all those other goodies that are normally apart of MINI Connected. Since there was no pricing for those items, they were installed at no cost. MINI did change the vehicle order rules to reflect the proper elements of Comfort Bluetooth, but many cars went into production before they could rectify."
I did not have to pay extra for it as it shows on the sticker as "Included"

Wahoo asked about my interior choices and they are:
Leather Punch Carbon Black
Chrome-Line Interior
Anthracite headliner
Interior color Carbon Black

Other options:
Convenience Package
Premium Package
Sport Package
Sport Suspension
Multi-function/Sport Steering Wheel w/paddles
Center armrest w/smartphone integration
MINI Visual Boost
Satellite Radio

See that's what I'm saying: you got that Visual Boost as part of the car's basic package. That is A W E S O M E and I'd have probably taken a car off the lot with that 'option'. If there WERE cars on the lot. Which there were not. Yet.

Congrats! You got some nice options there.
My recently purchased leftover 2010 has a similar scheme. I just recently tinted the windows and it really adds to the black on black look.

Enjoy!

Nice with a Z! Very sleek and stylish, but still classic and cool at the same time. Good choice!
