R55 2016 Clubman
#176
Thanks! I love it so much...I had my first few days of getting used to this car and I'm a BIG FAN now. I love the details, the trim, the accent lighting (which is teal blue now for my favorite color)...I've learned to kick right so the rear doors open for me (which took some practice), and I LOVE the way this baby drives.
I blew the piggy bank on the leather seats, but they are gorgeous...and I love the Union Jack on the headrests.
I have to say, I'm not really missing too much of my Lexus at all right now. Hubby took it to the airport and I thought I'd miss that car and the luxury, but I find this car is luxurious enough, and FUN too.

As promised
I said when I had the new baby wrapped I would come back and show it off...so I picked it up today from the wrap company. I may not ever go through this experience again...this has now resulted in the vehicle having to go to a body shop to fix the things the wrap company did badly...but in the end, the wrap itself will hopefully do it's job well at least.
We've named the car "Pixie"...and the custom plate is on it's way... PXL ART for "pixel art" because it's all digital photography now.
I am absolutely in LOVE with the car though...I don't even want to drive the Lexus anymore. This car is MY BABY.

Not exactly a glamour shot, but at least I put on the red wheel center caps. I also have the OEM red "sport stripes" (front to back over the roof), but the car needs a bath before those go on.
The car has the JCW interior package, so all of this goes along with the various red stitching.

First I have seen a F54 with the red MINI center caps, looks great.
The carbon edition is nice, did you find one for sale ?

We will be adding it asap as well as the F57 and newer years. In the meantime let me know if you need anything.
Hopefully the forum section will be added soon.

My wife would like to get an F54 but insists she have the light gray door panels
like we have in our F56. That option is not on the Build Mini site.
Looks like you can get them if you order the 2500 leather lounge seats
Anyone have any idea if it is possible just to get the light door panels alone?

For the record, although the very expensive seats were hotly debated before we ordered, I LOVE them. They are beautiful and the most comfortable leather seats I've ever owned in a car. The braided trim and Union Jack elements are just...perfect.

Here's my question - has anyone successfully paired an iPhone 6 with their new Clubman to get the Office feature to work for messages? Mini site says it's not compatible - but a few other threads here indicate that folks have gotten this feature to work when Mini says it doesn't. I'm really wanting this if possible - but I've tried so many combinations and nothing seems to take.
I've paired, unpaired, turned on notifications, etc. Any rain dance moves that work?

Try going to Settings -> Bluetooth. Tap the (i) next to your MINI's entry. Then make sure "Show Notifications" is on.

My Clubman is still making it's way through Oxford, so I can't check. But on your MINI:
Telephone -> Bluetooth Devices -> your phone -> Press OPTIONS button -> Configure Bluetooth.
Does it give you an option to enable Office?

Just went out to start the process completely over...the only thing that seems weird is that even after a forget the device on car and phone when I go back in to redo it all I don't have to reenter the bluetooth code...which I had to the first time I set it up.
No, I don't see an option for Office. I can go to messages, but nothing ever comes in.
Now yesterday I had an option to download messages - , but after resetting everything today I don't see that any longer.

Does anyone know what bolt pattern the Clubmans have? I noticed where we ordered the 18" wheels, it will come with summer tires. That means I'll need to pick up something for the winter months. Since I have nothing else to do until it arrives, I figure I can search out wheels.
OEM 17"- 7.5" width, 54 mm offset (vs F56 7" width, 54 mm offset)
OEM 18"- 8" width, 57 mm offset (vs F56 7" width, 54 mm offset)
For a winter wheel/tire set on the Clubman, MINI offers a few OEM options. I like these combos:
7JX16 ET52 with 205/55R16
7.5JX17 ET54 with 225/45R17
(found by digging on realoem.com)
