Trying to spec the right Countryman

Since there are few CM at local dealers I'm using this forum to gather info on option selections for my new CM All4. The comments from postings have been very helpful and the list of remaining info is getting shorter. I'm first in line for a new CM arrived Friday - viewing today. I think I'll pass and go through the ordering process since I've learned so much about the way I'd like my first Mini to be configured. Thanks for the help.

Checked out our first CM allocated from pre-ordered stream, drove it for about 45 min and figured out all the things we liked and the additional options we had to have. Sat down with our MA and went through configuration line by line, interrupted by taking a look at cars on the lot to make sure we got it right. Part that took the most time was the five internal color/finish choices. After a total visit of 3-1/2 hours the order was completed, approved, and scheduled. Our MA was a great help and did whatever she could to help the process.
