Finally took delivery of our 2023 Mini Cooper SE Iconic

There used to be a Volkswagen Mk V GTI Fahrenheit edition in our neighborhood and I thought that color was amazing !

My buddy has a volcanic orange S, and his wife has a one of one orange Cayman S. The more I see his S the more I like it. But after the Dakar Yellow E36 M3 my wife is not keen on fun colors. I will probably sell the Cayman S, and possibly replace it with a 944 or a R56 S or JCW. If the right car comes up, and it is orange (assuming the JCW was made in orange), I may just have to do it.

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…

I would have gotten an Energetic Yellow SE, but had to settle for the yellow mirror caps. The SE is a replacement for a 1997 Acura NSX-T I owned that was in "Spa Yellow Metallic".

I love the size of the SE and it's perfect for me. I'm used to small 2 seater cars and the Taycan Cross Turismo is by far the largest car I have ever purchased.

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.
