R55 Anthracite headliners
#26
I'd view it as personal choice, just like what color of upholtstery you like. Some want a brighter interior, others darker.
What I find amazing is that Mini can charge an additional $250 for a different color headliner which probably costs them nothing more from the suppliers. But then most Mini options are ridiculously overpriced.

You can check my Mac gallery at http://gallery.me.com/a.j.miller for photos of Tex. There are a few photos early on with the gray headliner (A and B pillar trim only shown), and a few later with the Anthracite headliner (Headliner included).

Mine came with the anthracite headliner, and the hot chocolate, piano black& cream interior. It's elegantly dark, and isn't a cleaning problem at all. I'd have asked the same questions in reverse, to the owners of the light headliners. Nothing bad to say about it, but if I ever get a 2nd Cooper, it'll be light inside, and an S under the hood.

No cost to me. BMW MINI completed the Headliner replacement to correct an assembly line build / configuration issue that affected cars build weeks 37 - 44-ish in 2008. These were the first weeks of the MY-2009 build.

I didn't have much of a choice, my dealer located one of the only cars with the options I wanted and it happened to have the Anthracite Headliner. Personally it doesn't bother me much, I probably would rather have the lighter headliner to give a little contrast to the very BLACK interior of my car, not to mention a little more of a interior/exterior match considering I have Dark Silver...

My 2008 Clubman with the Tuscan leather / piano black interior has the stock grey headliner, but I would have preferred the AH to reduce the number of colors in the interior.
I don't mind the light grey, but given the rest of the interior is all tan and black, the darker pillars and roof liner would have been a nice continuation of the color scheme.
I got mine 1 year used, and got a fantastic price, so I'm not complaining
