I went to my local MINI dealer this past Saturday and put a $1000 down on a Cooper S, securing my #3 or 4 spot. I've been on a list to "be on the list" for several months, and the dealer finally started taking deposits.

To my surprise, I was invited to spend some quiet moments with a Cooper S!

...

I will mention that for this price, the MINI's interior quality was not up to par with my BMW.

The closest I've got to a Cooper S so far is looking at photographs, and I live in the country where they are manufactured!

Your comment about the MINI not being up to BMW 3-series quality is a bit surprising, since from my experience the MINI seems to be a match at least for low end BMW/Audi quality, if not the high-end products. (And I've owned an Audi A3 in the past which is the VW Golf equivalent.)
