    I ordered almost the same for mine (color and stripes) - except I went with Roulette spokes. I really love the black roof and black bonnet stripes.

    My former Mini had those. Really liked them, but be careful by curbs.

    Looks great!

    I have the BRG with white roof. I almost changed to black, but my car was built months before I thought it would be. Next thing I knew, it was too late to change so I guess my decision was made for me. It’s all good; I love both white and black with the BRG.

    I agree both black and white look great with BRG. If my dad didn't have a tree that is notorious for dropping sap on my car I would've likely gone that way. I've had a white car under there before and didn't feel like trying to clean that again. Had to use rubbing compound to remove. I do think BRG really is striking both ways.

    I know what you mean about messy trees. My father has a Tulip tree in his yard. In the spring, don’t park underneath or downwind of that thing. Entire blossoms get cemented to your car with sap! What a mess.

    Are you going to miss all those doors? Personally, I'm so glad MINI didn't quit making 2-door/3-door cars like most companies did. I'm even happier MINI made the smallest, most nimble BEV rather than simply replacing the Countryman PHEV's engine with a bigger battery (and maybe, but not necessarily, a larger motor).

    Sorry you deal with it too. His is where I park when I visit, which is a lot since he's close and widowed. It's not even his tree either, but the neighbor's on the lot line. He's suggested to various neighbors to cut it down though. New neighbor even built a fence around the tree so it's here to stay.

    When I bought the car in 2016, we used the back doors often since I had a kid who couldn't sit front seat yet. It was a downgrade in size only from a CR-V that I bought when my kid was 5 months old. We kept my prior car, which was a 2 door Civic Si hatch until it rusted apart. I feel like I'm going full circle back to zippy 2 door hatches. Kid sits in the front now so no need for 4 doors. I am so glad this is a smaller car. I've driven the Countryman during longer service appointments as a loaner, but prefer smaller zippy cars.

    I don’t mind the chrome, but after 2 days with the car I’m thinking of blacking out the door handles...they show fingerprints even if you just point at them...

    I was so torn between the black or white roof I let my 17 year old son make the decision for me...

    Because you're not looking for white door handles, I'm guessing your teen chose black for the roof.

    What a treat for a teen to have a MINI Cooper SE in the family! My dad's Fiat 1500 Cabriolet sports car took twice as long to get to 60 mph, but I loved driving it. Yes, Fiat made a sports car before the 124 Spider.

    Just as an FYI, black shows dirt more than the chrome as a whole. I kinda wish they offered body colored door handles. Though wouldn't make a difference since most of my cars were black or very dark gray. This is my first non neutral color ever.

    We have just over 2 years before mine starts driving. Not sure he'll get to drive it much. He'll have to earn his way by driving stick first :D

    Over the weekend I happened to come across these door handle decals for MINIs, wondering if they'd look good on my SE. They seem basically to be vinyl wraps for the door handles.

    Those are oddly popping up as not being designed for the current door handles but they look nice! The listing says F56 though. Hmmm..

    I will say if I get mine wrapped, I will likely go to a professional to have it done. I'm not sure I love the piano black as it does show dirt quite fast. Says the person who ordered black wheels lol

    Picked her up today. Enjoying the one pedal driving completely.

    I am a bit shocked with how loud the heat pump sounds in the garage. Otherwise fun to drive

    It's beautiful! You will find the heat pump is also loud outside the garage. I never seem to hear it when I'm driving, however. I love how little battery it uses compared to our Clarity Plug-In Hybrid's resistance heater.

    Thank you! I don't mind a noise at all. Defintiely didn't hear it while driving. My kid asked what it was and that made me paranoid I think. I did quite some spirited driving though and thought the estimated rage was still good. It's right around 30 today too! That heat kicks in much faster than my old Mini does.

    The one pedal driving is the best out of the EVs I've tried. Appreciate that I can shift easily from Neutral to Drive while driving too to enjoy some easy coasting as well.

    Thanks!

    And no driving out of the showroom for me. They did it while I was in finance. Darn. But she was in with 3 other BRG Minis. Must be a popular choice. Interestingly they tried to offer me ceramic with Cilajet for $899. Then on my car there was a sticker saying pay $199 for one year of protection but that it was treated with it. At least I didn't pay for it. They did try to sell me on the maintenance which was mostly ICE coverage. All in all pretty easy. Sales person asked if I needed any help and I was like, nope... hooked up my cell phone and I was on my way. Quite happy with the navigation options. Though not sure I'll ever use the screen as a touchscreen. I'm just too used to iDrive

    It's great to have the touch-screen as an option. I use it very seldom, but it's sometimes easier when there are a lot of choices on the screen.

    I am sure there will be a time when it is. I got so used to not having one likely. Only issue with the idrive is I now have navigation, which I didn't before hand. So there are 2 new buttons. Cup holders are different too so I need to figure out how I'll rest my phone.
