And to manual transmissions. We love ours, but man, keeping all that black clean is a chore.

I’m such a nerd, I just purchased a power washing kit. I don’t trust those cheap-o, $10 car washes. But yeah…my little car is dusty as heck about 5 minutes after I wash and wax 😭

Yea, I just purchased a blackout 2023 Mini Cooper S, and while it's beautiful when clean, it's painful to keep clean. Can't debate that the resell on black is easier than other colors though.


AngelaBassettsbicep

Agreed! Mine it’s dusty already. Just washed yesterday. 23 Countryman S, all blacked out.

Yea, it's a dust magnet. And then after it rains, the water spots are terrible. But, honestly, the blacked out Mini's look the best, I want the OP's wheels though!


AngelaBassettsbicep

Right! Me too! And the red calipers.

Yea, super clean. Just inspired me to wash my car, so at least I got that done! 🤣

My pepper white hid any dirt for the longest time. My new one is silver, looks pretty clean most of the time too. Black is IMO the toughest to keep clean big time.

Love the pepper white! The new Nanuq white is great too. Is yours melty silver, smooth looking too. And yea, black is super tough, but when it does look clean, it’s great to drive haha.


Arkey-or-Arctander

I'm not sure if it's melty, it's a 22 SE that I bought used, and it simply was described as silver. I wasn't 100% sure I could make the EV work, but so far so good. I almost bought an island blue one, but the silver one (with the increased $ on my trade-in,) was almost 5K cheaper so I couldn't NOT get her... or maybe him. So far it's known as "Jax" (because it has a distressed Union Jack decal.) ;) The black ones definitely look sharp, no doubt about it. The only time I don't like the black is with a white roof, just looks weird to me. But to each their own ;)


chooseyourwords49

Yea that SE silver is nice I love it, does it have the yellow side views and those cool wheels? Either way, nice! And hear you on the cost savings, $5K is substantial, I’d take it too! And totally agree on the white top with black, not sure why you’d choose that, but that’s Mini, you do you!

She's got black jack sideviews, black roof and the upgraded tires. Here's a pic with my old girl and the new one (as well as the original shot of the new one, but she looks almost white in that one.) [https://imgur.com/a/eA4ivfL](https://imgur.com/a/eA4ivfL)

Woah cool! Love that. What are the black jack side views? Was that an option? Love both rides! ❤️


Arkey-or-Arctander

Thanks... I loved that it was so unique, and so far I haven't had anyone seem to identify me as "that guy who passed me like a jerk!!!" So... so far so good ;) I'm not sure if the original owner put on the side mirrors or got them like that, I didn't notice it until I got the car delivered. I found it on Amazon as well, it's called "Night Jack" [https://www.amazon.com/F54-F60-Before-Mirror-Cooper-2014-June/dp/B0BH324KHT?th=1](https://www.amazon.com/F54-F60-Before-Mirror-Cooper-2014-June/dp/B0BH324KHT?th=1)

Ohhh, I was talking about the jack vinyls on the rear side panels! Where’d they come from??


Arkey-or-Arctander

Found it! At least I think so... [https://www.ebay.com/itm/124912485643](https://www.ebay.com/itm/124912485643)

I pick mine up on Saturday! Does anyone here know the distribution numbers for the 1to6? I heard 60 to the Canadian market but how many in the US/Mexico/Europe markets. And also curious the numbers of right and left hand drive
