    Our 2012 Mini Countryman S, affectionately known as "Crystal," is a silver beauty. We don't have the ALL 4 model, but do love the electronics package this one came with. We call it our little Aston Martin being 007 fans in our house...it bears some resemblance to the AM DB5 for sure, especially from the front view.

    Does anyone else have the same model out there?

    OK, the MINI does not have room for the .50 cal machine guns, but a pair of P90's will do. So, we robotically raise the headlights and we're ready to go.

    BTW...welcome to the modness, the best MINI site ever.

    Welcome to M/A! I dont think I've ever even seen a Countryman S without the AWD here in CO. I bought mine specifically for it!

    My wife has a 2012 Countryman without the e package, but with all 4. I agree, Silver is truly stunning. And welcome to MA, where you are bound to find something useful!

    My wife's first CMS was not All4 and it performed well. Her new CMS is All4 but so far this winter we haven't had any snow to test it. Welcome to the addiction.

    When it does finally snow there, put the key in (if you have the convenience package) and hold the traction control lever down until the system is fully disabled... Then give it hell!
