Welcome to MINI2
Long Beach MINI is the only MSRP dealer in SoCal.
The 'S' comes standard with 16" wheels ($500 extra on Cooper), sports suspension plus ($500 extra on Cooper) and sports seats ($270 extra on Cooper), plus it has over 40% more horsepower and torque and a 6-speed transmission. Getting one at MSRP from a dealer near the West Coast will require a long wait unless you happen to call a dealer who's had a cancellation.
