For those of you looking at the Production Stats sheet and wondering why it looked strange. There were some "errors" made. Anyway I had to roll back the sheet to Jan 29, 2012 to repair the error so any changes made after that date are lost. Sorry for any problems caused. The sort function seems to cause problems in that when you use it it can't be changed back.
I never said this was a perfect solution but it is what we have. No harm no foul. Now get back in there and start tracking and adding. As for me I think I will go out for another drive in NAPALM. Great to see everyone using the sheet out of it.

From one of the night shots on my flicker here.

 

My new Coupe !
Couldnt put the pics earlier. Its one month and 900+ miles and its been pure joy

 

I sort of placed my order today...I had settled on exactly what I wanted which included the JCW package with the Challenge Spokes. Apparently there are supply issues with those wheels and I don't really like the other option for the package - Conical Spoke. The Challenge Spokes just look so much more aggressive.

That one little change threw a big wrench in my plans. Now I'm trying to decide if I want to settle for the Conical Spokes or rethink my build a bit. Going back into the dealer tomorrow to try to figure it out.

 

OK. Got everything settled. My Coupe was ordered today. I decided to scrap the JCW Package and go with the Sport Package. It actually saved me a good chunk of money so I was able to get some wheels I'm very happy with, add the Auto AC, and still pay less than my previous build. I'm very happy. Now the wait begins...

Mini Cooper Coupe S

Congrats...really nice combo Love the wheels.

 

After 2 production delays and 5 months of agonizing wait I finally took delivery last week. I was a little reluctant coming from an 07 335i, but I can say now my fears are gone. It is a very fun car to drive on a daily basis.

Congratulations. Beautiful car. CR is the best color by a mile.

Enjoy your new ride. What do you think of that new engine in that baby?

Motor On!!

 

Great looking Coupe! I bet your happy. Interesting the grill surround is black.

 

I am currently at 600 miles so I really haven't hit it hard, but so far it is very sweet and I am happy with the clutch feel and shift travel.

I added the black surround at the dealership... I am also going to black out a few more pieces such as the scuttles, belt line, and carbon fiber the rear apron and hatch handle. I tinted the car with 20% and that made a huge difference in appearance to me as well.

I am 44 and modding a car... MINIs make you do crazy things!

 

Your Coupe is looking good...keep the pics coming

 

After two months and 1400 miles of ownership, I have experienced a few quarks with my coupe. Just wondering if anyone else has had these minor problems. #1 seat heater too hot-even on low.#2 Wind noise from either windows or windshield surround-no leaks. #3 boot hatch needs adjustment. #4 Steering of car wanders (I have non runflat tires) #5 Sirius radio forgets locked in stations but they return in a few days and that is just weird. When the loss happens, the headlights come on during the day and go off when the memory stations are remembered.
Other than that, I love my Coupe

 

Ah ok! I was thinking it came from the factory that way and with MINI you never know. They seem to change things on the fly.

Nothing wrong with modding a car at 44 but your right, MINI's will do that to you and it's fun as Hell!!

 

DAVESTER, welcome to the sickness...there doesn't seem to be a cure

 

One hour old!

 

Beautiful! I'm liking no stripes...clean.

Got my production number today. Ended up having to change my wheels, Web Spoke are no longer available. I'll probably end up going aftermarket anyway. This is going to be a long wait...

My wife has a 2006 justa and when she ordered I thought that felt like a long time. This is my first Mini and I get the feeling it's going to be a brutal wait. I may have to take up an extra hobby.

 

Agree that this looks great sans stripes. Sporty and elegant at the same time.

I'll go make you bold on the list.

 

Thanks My face hurts from smiling.

It's so good to be behind the wheel of a mini again. Already replaced the antenna with the a craven stubby. Have some new LEDs coming in along with my ProClip.

I'll admit it's HARD to not take it up the RPMS

 

Finally picked mine up today. First time really driving a manual and made it home 20+ miles without any traffic embarrassments. Only thing makes me uncomfortable is that everyone keeps staring and pointing and well, you're all probably used it it by now.

Pics in my garage. I am not good with a camera but hope to have much better ones after I got a few more mods done.

Again, I can't thank everyone enough for sharing their experiences about the r58. I learn something new everyday from all of you. Maybe one day I'll be able to share my own.

 

Congrats iCoupe, on both getting your car and driving a manual! The more you do it the more it'll become second nature and the more you'll be thankful you got it.

 

Cool. Glad you finally got your Coupe. I get daily stares and questions about my Coupe. I think that is going to last a while since MINI is limiting production and/or sales are smaller than the other models.

 

Congrats to everyone who's taken delivery of their Coupes! I've been away for a bit - sorry about the delayed congrats!

I took delivery of Moxie on February 19th. I just hit 1K miles on her last night. I wish I'd taken a picture of the odometer when it read 13 miles. *sigh* (*EDIT: Bah - sorry... I forgot I'd already posted her pic and that she was home on a different thread back in Feb.)

So here's her pic. Keysersozeh, I think you'll appreciate her "no stripes" look.

 

By the way... I'm the only one (that I know of) here in Gainesville, FL with a Coupe. I wish Moxie was getting all the head-turns everyone else is getting. :\ I've had a couple of people ask about her (and by that, I mean, literally - two). For the most part, I seem to be the only person impressed. o_O

...But at least I'm grinning! :D

 

Nice looking Coupe MoxieRocket ! I like the clean look on these. I don't know about anyone else, but I am constantly working on getting my millage up so I can put the pedal down.
