First time Mini owner from San Jose
Hi Everyone!
I've been lurking around this site for months while researching Minis. I've been wanting a MCS for a long time and I was initially planning on ordering one but couldn't decide on a color! I knew I wanted the satellite grey interior, so I started stalking all of the San Francisco Bay Area dealers trying to see if I could find one that met my needs/wants. A year and a half went by and I finally stumbled across this beast. Meet Stitch!
It was 95% what I wanted and at a great price. The wheels were originally 16's but I asked the dealer to swap them for the 17" tentacle spoke wheels as part of the deal. The only other two options I wanted but didn't get were the spoiler and NAV. Glad I didn't get the navigation, but really still want the spoiler. Maybe someday I'll swap it out.
The interior is beautiful! I love the satellite grey seats and matching interior door panels. I think I'll need a lifetime supply of leather wipes though. I clean them weekly! The HK sound system is great. I'm definitely in love with my car!
Anyway, I hope to post some more on here if I think my $.02 can contribute in anyway! Thanks for reading!

Looks like the dealer will take car of you and nice to have another local enthusiast. A great opportunity to share you enthusiasm will be at the upcoming track day at Thunder Hill, We expect to see almost 500 MINIs that day- plan to have fun and stop by our booth.

Welcome to NAM, Lucila! Congratulations. Stitch is a great name. Did you get it from the movie? Would love to see some pictures of your interior.

It's been raining here and I've been stuck at work all day, but here are some pictures of the interior from the day I bought it. I'll take some better ones when I get a chance.

I thought the satellite grey would be harder to keep clean, but they hold up real well. I'm pretty OCD about keeping my cars pristine though. My other car is 17 years old and the interior still looks new.
I'm really happy with this interior. It was more important to me than the exterior color

Looks very good! I do enjoy that interior very much. For cleaning, check out this blog post HERE. He goes a little above and beyond to keep his seats clean, but he gives some good info and highlights a good product to use.

The interior looks very nice, like you went with the light color door option and that piping on the seat set off the leather.
