standard wheels are different depending on the market. UK has some different wheel standard wheels on the MCS -- not sure about the MC wheels.

The new S-Lite like wheels are the Crown Spokes. 17s. But they are not standard on anything - always an option.

Standard on the MCS are the S-winders, or no cost option for the Bridge Spokes.

Not sure about the MC.

By the way, any of you folks here in Scottsdale should stop by the Valley Ho. The staff is very cordial to dudes like me walking around with a camera. They just assume you're a hotel guest.

Hey uter...

Still haven't gotten rid of the E61?

I was just in Scottsdale this week at the Valley Ho for one of the MINI events and got to drive the car around town and was at Firebird on Friday. It's a HOT car, and that red interior is beautiful too! You'll love it.

Feel free to PM me here or at bimmerfest if you have any questions about the car.

I am in the process of trying to go back home after MINI training. Here is a link to my photos from the launch. I hope you like 'em. http://scottnickel.smugmug.com/galle...4219#129399598

Very nice -- it's tiding me over until I get mine.

One suggestion though from a fellow D70 user -- you should get the sensor cleaned on your D70. I've used a Giotto Rocket air blower, and that's worked for me for minor dust. Others report success with the Copper Hill system (http://www.copperhillimages.com/index.php?pr=products), others just take it to the camera shop.
