For all you looking for something to really accomplish this Friday, both the French and German 2007 MINI configurators are live and ready to be abused during work hours.
[ MINI.fr/configurator ] MINI of France
[ MINI.de/configurator ] MINI of Germany
And a friendly reminder, a super extra dope MINI USA configurator will be making its debut sometime in December.
aside from the language issues I have with the site (don’t speak either language), so far, I don’t like the configurator.
Um so I’m no expert with German or French, but looking through the options I didn’t see a limited slip differential!!! I thought that was going to be a launch option!
Anyone know if the US will be getting it as an option?
And the color choices are so limited. Is that just a ramp-up thing?

For a fresh approach, see the <a href="http://www.vwfeatures.com/gti.html" rel="nofollow">GTI configurator</a>, which ends with a joyride with Helga.
the Swiss one is online, too – wow, I’ve built myself an expensive R56 MINI 🙂
they just took the old configurator and added the R56 with its options. and there really doesn’t seem that a LSD is available the moment..
I noticed the difference in the base price of the “old” MC and the “new” MC (both are offered on the configurator is only 200 Euros
Just say it rkw, the French configurators are, well, French.
Makes me sorry that I took Spanish in high school…
They got the same stuff that we got here, except that they call it <em>Le</em> John Cooper Works.
Sport button is appearing as an option!? I really hope it is standard as I haven’t specced it on my new R56 nor was I offered to spec it by my dealer! I thought it was standard – both sites show it as 150 EURO extra?!
Um, so far the German one is failing to impress me, and some of the interior options appear to be less than what was promised, and there’s no Lightning Blue, and, and, and …
