Agree with Dave A. above message...
CR is a paint that even 7 years old still pops when it is treated with car and the right detailing.
Just ask my 2006 CR...

Just when I had come to terms with a 3 cylinder motor, they make this announcement. Its irritating. And they make this announcement AFTER the end of the ordering period for the current car.
Back to looking at Hondas CRZs and MX5s. No Chili Red, no new Mini for us. Its just that simple. I wanted a brand new 2014 Justa in Chili Red with a white top. I don't want or need a JCW and I won't buy one just to get the color. I spent $28,000 on my current Justa because I could get it the way I want it. Apparently that concept is down the drain. My current car is the second BMW Mini for us. I had a 62 and a 64 Cooper S. I've been a Mini fan since sliding window days.
Whoever is in charge of color at BMW has made a very unfortunate decision on this one. Why do they do these things? No company ever succeeded by irritating its repeat customer base.
Sad.-

Even though I don't have one, Chili Red with a white roof still represents the Holy Grail. The real one too, not the one in Monty Python.
It's like saying watermelons will no longer be allowed to be green and red. It's unnatural.-

Chili Red is my favorite MINI color, and I was surprised to see the story on MF. Most likely it will become a JCW exclusive color. I don't agree with this at all, but doubt that it will be "dropped" as suggested in the thread title.
Still, if the story is correct, this is a very poor decision.-

Seems that most colors are now metallic. Another way BMW/MINI can squeeze more cash out of their customer's pockets. From what I'm seeing Pepper White may be the only non-metallic. No Chili Red.... :frown2:

IMHO, a few colors are sacred. PW and CR are among them.

Pepper White is on the list of colors so maybe it is sacred. :wink:

At least there is still BRG. But I agree, its sacrilege to not include CR. Its a mighty fine color. That was actually my second choice.

I'm pretty sure that CR is the most recognized/most named color when MINI is mentioned.

Seem to be more CR then any color out there and if that is true why would they drop it??? Just another 1 of many mysteries from the MINI USA folks..

Omg !!! thats not right !! That doesn't make sense as MINI normally stays true to history. I mean there has been a red mini since the dawn of time...right?
