Finally took delivery of our 2023 Mini Cooper SE Iconic

When I was considering the yellow for the Rivian I made a short list of all the cars I love in yellow. There were really only 4 “semi recent” cars that I really liked in yellow…E36 M3 in Dakar yellow, Volvo 850R in cream yellow, Saab 900se in Monte Carlo yellow, and P38 Range Rovers in Borrego yellow. There’s several I don’t particularly like in yellow…hummer H2, Ford Ranger Splash, most newer corvettes…so I almost didn’t do it…but glad I did.

I like bright colors as accents on MINIs, loved the red/black combo on the JCW clubman I had years ago. It’d be amazing if BMW extended their individual paint program to the higher spec MINI’s…

 

Wow! I had forgotten the NSX was available in yellow, amazing car. I love the how the SE seems to attract people with interesting car history.
