I was lucky with mine only options it didn't have is folding mirrors and driver assistance but them with exhaust it had a list of over 36k!

Thats mental!

Was it an ex demo car (and thus spec'd up)?

They're a giggle to drive, good move. Very mobile in the wet, in a good way.

That is a great spec, it should be fantastic when it arrives.

You will love it OP I've never been much of a fan of small cars or FWD...but I've been amazed at how much I enjoy driving mine. On back lanes it's an absolute hoot, occasionally I crave a little more power(on long straights overtaking lorries etc), but overall it's a great little thing.

Enjoy collecting it and I'll look forward to some pics.

If funds allow I'd add on the LED headlights, biggest regret I have with the spec on mine

The halogens are rubbish, the LEDs finish the car much better IMO.

I'm pleased I've got LED headlights on mine, my 330i had halogens and I think a couple of candles would have been brighter!!

Yeah thankfully it was. we did look at a clubman jcw but as our friend in the Dutchland pointed out they just really take the piss!

Well on the basis that i don't want to get the car and always have in the back of my mind that I should have added them, I've added LED headlights.

And also driving modes.

Nice one

I certainly appreciate them at night especially when I compare them to halogens. I like the driving modes too, and sport really seems to liven things up a fair bit.

Well i'm probably still on the fence as to whether or not i really "need" them, they seem a worthwhile option based on feedback and better to have them than spend my time with the car always thinking i maybe should have added them.

Driving modes adds a little bit of fun and was a cheap option to add.

Still on track for delivery early Feb, so will update with pics when it arrives.

I agree,good lights are a must!

Lovely car and have to agree with the LED lights, the standard ones look plain wrong to me. A modern looking enclosure with an old fashioned looking headlight inside.

Well we picked up the car this morning. Absolutely chuffed! Really well pleased with it.

In the showroom this morning...



Just about to leave....

Thank you!

Yes, loving the retro vibe of the spec and as you had said, its a hoot to drive

[steve-5snwi]

Very nice, the grey roof and stripes match the blue paintwork very well. I like the wheels too. Did you add the LED headlights after all or are they part of the standard spec ?

When does the JCW pro exhaust go on ...............................

I did add the LED lights. I'm still not convinced i needed them per se, but they are exceptionally good.

Also added Harmon Kardon sound upgrade, and Driving Modes after my initial order was placed.

Will look in to the exhaust upgrade at some point

Looks really good and an excellent colour, enjoy it!
Here is my Cooper S, had it almost a year, fantastic to drive. I actually wanted BRG but this was in stock with everything else I wanted i terms of options and I have really come round to the colour:

I fell for the colour as its not as in your face as most of the options. Really looking forward to the car being run in.
