Nice one, Branklins. I have a new Green Park. At wife's request, transitioning from red car person to green car person. Love it.

Looking to join up; I heard that only 12.5% of all the MINIs are BRG; and that's the ONLY color to consider!!! My DH put together Triumph Spitfires, 3s and 4s in the early 70s, he had a bug-eye Sprite, and an Austin Healey. All sports cars that he raced on the weekends. He did everything; motor, electric, bodywork. And the ONLY color to recreate was the BRG. Except, when he fell in love with me, he painted one purple, my favorite color, for me to drive... 8D

How do we upload our pictures? It asks for the url; do I need to upload to google or chrome or dropbox first???

BRG II Metallic

Wow, I've been lurking around for 12 months and just found my siblings!
Let me first say that reading through the complete thread was a blast.
And the pictures were inspiring.

And can we get someone to pin this to the front page?
Would like to see the Official Clubs be up front for ease of finding!

Any way, Hi....and yes, I too am a BRG II Addict.
I took delivery on August 3rd 2013. And what a great day it was.
From order to delivery was exactly 7 weeks...Wow.
Seems that the BRG II/BLK combo is quite popular around these parts too.
Let me sate that I will attempt to figure out how to load the pics soon as I am typing as fast as possible in order to leave for work today.

A quick list of the options I have are here:
British Racing Green II Body Color
C-Pillars in Body Color
Anthracite Headliner
Carbon Black Color Line
Chrome Line Interior
Dash Surface in Piano Black
Door Panel in Carbon Black
JCW Leather Steering Wheel w/Multifunction
Black Headlamp Housings
White Turn Signals
Black Roof/Mirrors
Center Arm Rest
John Cooper Works Black Checkered Cloth
Sport SeatsWeatherTech Floor Mats
Comfort Access System
Harman/Kardon Sound System
MINI Connected with Nav Package
SIRIUSXM Satellite Radio
6-Speed Automatic with Paddle Shifters
Sport Suspension
Rear Fog Lamp
Xenon Headlamps
17" Challenge Spoke Black
Automatic Climate Control
Rear Park Distance Control
Chrome Bonnet Scoop
Driving Lamps Black
Black Bonnet Stripes
John Cooper Works Polished Frame


I haven't named him yet, but I checked with the local hospital and they dais a new baby's name has 60 days before you MUST name it!

Hi from Ohio, I'm looking forward to joining your BRG Owners Club. My Clubman is still in Tuscan Ariz.at the Honda dealer where I bought it on line. Never seen it in person but looked at hundreds of pictures and asked about as many questions. Probably drove the sales lady to drink! The transport is booked and a waiting for load conformation. Base model with auto trans and sport seats. 47,000 miles. Hope the arrival is soon (about a week I quess) Gotta go...John

I've been wanting to join the club for many years now and it's finally time. Black R56 S from 2011 - 2017 and I'm very happily starting my journey again with a new MINI! Might post more photos in the future when my mods are done

Photo from this weekend after a detailing.
