Lightning Blue & Astro Black Discontinued

Yeah, I was going to say the same thing.

“lilliux” is her SN on NAM if anyone wants to find the pictures.

Also, her car completed production November 27th or so. I don’t know if that necessarily means all Astro Black production was completed prior to that date, but it gives a good indication of when the “change-over” took place. Probably sometime during or at the end of week 48.

With regard to Horizon Blue, could we get some clarification on what models it will be available on. From what I understand from the article, it will be available on the following beginning in March:

R55: MC / MCS R56: MC / MCS R57: MC

Is that correct according to your information?

It just seems strange to leave out JUST the R57 MCS… AND allow people to configure an R57 MCS with Horizon Blue paint on the UK MINI site.

That’s not correct. we’ve updated the post. Sorry about that.

Thanks for the update, Gabe.

Good to get that figured out before everyone starts overreacting about it. Not that that would ever happen. Haha

So is Midnight Black a pure metallic black or does it still have some annoying color cast?

I keeping asking here about the black chrome option once mentioned here. No response.

After playing around with the UK configurator, it looks as though the Pacific Blue color line option (on the R57) is not available with the new Horizon Blue exterior as it was with both Lightning and Laser Blue. Any idea if MINI will be offering another color line option in March to replace Pacific with something else. My guess is most of the blue interiors were picked by those choosing one of those two exterior options.
