I finally made the decision and ordered F56 White Silver (manual) Cooper S. I'm just wondering if I should have waited for 2015 but couldn't wait! Anyway, great to meet you all and looking forward to connecting with the community as it is my FIRST MINI.

`Welcome to the forum. Out of interest, what do you think's happening in 2015 that would get you anything different to what you have just ordered?

Welcome NJpark! What dealer did you order your new Mini from?

From what I've seen MINI comes out with their hardtop of the year in March-April. So the 2013 hardtop came out April 2013. I may be wrong, but that's what I've seen. I don't know how you could have been much earlier in ordering.

Maybe the US market makes a bigger deal out of the year. The car won't change, but do they tweak the option packs eery year for the US? I'm confused.

You are 100% right!!! =) Just a month ago I have never sat in a MINI and after just 1 test drive on the F56 I was blown away. Through the whole process, the hardest part was trying to stop adding more options.

I met a great sales guy walking in at the Princeton Mini and we hit it off. I had a slight better deal at Monmouth Mini but really enjoyed my interaction at Princeton Mini which I would recommend.

Thanks for the info and I am glad I finally ordered it.

When you were all ordering your car, did the dealer have the option to pick Fully Loaded Package option on the backend of Mini ordering system? I noticed that they had to enter premium, sport, wired package, and few things manually since fully loaded package wasn't on the list yet.

I ordered on the 9th of May and there was some confusion when they were putting the order in. I went with the loaded plus the sport package then added the JCW interior package also. I really didn't want the nav. The dealer had to put the options in like yours then headquarters sent them the build back with all the correct package info. I ordered mine from Monmouth I'm 5 mins from there.
