Advice requested from Queensland members

My son, currently living around Toowoomba, is contemplating buying a MINI.
Does anyone have any recommendations on dealers in Brisbane?

Although, I live in Melbourne, my MINI is from Motorline in Daisy Hill. The dealings that I had with them were excellent and I would certainly recommend you / your son speak to Cassandra at Motorline.

I totally agree motorline is the way to go they seem much more honest, well as honest as a sale person can get but yeah Cassandra at motorline she is really great

Mike,

They all have their good and bad points. Motorline is probably closest

[Mike Clarke]

Thanks all, I'll pass that on

Without a doubt Motorline seems the most proactive and hardworking dealership in Brisbane.

I bought mine from Brisbane BMW and have recieved sweet bugger all help of customer assistance.

My degree is in PR and Marketing in which I also work in the industry, and I tell you Brisbane BMW have the least motivated, undynamic MINI Garage in Brisbane.

I am seriously looking to trade my Cooper for an S and Brisbane BMW gave me this S to drive that was filthy dirty inside and out. Had the windshield coverstrip missing, and it took me six weeks to get the test drive.

Another ***** is everytime you phone Brisbane MINI Garage all too often you get "I'm sorry no one is there to help you at the moment, can I get them to call you back." I say yes and if you're lucky you may get a call within 24-48 hours.

Interesting to say the least. But that's my experience.

Also Mike, if your son wants to go for a run with us before he buys we're more than happy to take him along. Just PM me for some contact details if he's interested.

I was actually in Toowoomba today.

[Mike Clarke]

Thanks AussieMini, I'll be in touch when I've talked to him

Aussiemini is right about Brisbane MINI garage, they never return calls. I went in twice and could not even find a MINI sales person! Motorline had a much more professional approach.

Howdy Mike,

I brought my S from Motorline at Daisy Hill and have found them to be seriously helpful, even with strange requests after the purchase was completed. I would certainly recommend you have a chat with Cassandra.

Best Regards - Rob

I bought my MINI Cooper S from Brisbane MINI Garage in November last year and have had some very minor warranty issues dealt with by them too. I must say that I couldn't fault their service. They bent over backwards to do the deal and the BMW finance was spot on. I didn't try MOTORLINE as I was totally satisfied with Brisbane BMW/MINI Garage. But I did tell the salesman to make sure the deal was so good that I wouldn't have to even think about going to another dealer. It was and I didn't

Cheers and good luck.

I just bought my Mini Cooper from Brisbane BMW.

It is the 3rd car we have bought from Brisbane BMW and my brother is buying his convertible this week so that will be the 4th.

The service was excellent, they looked after me. The one HUGE thing I am shitted off at is that the model they sold me was actually a 2002 model year (2003 compliance though)

It seems the guy actually thought it was Dec 2002 build as well (in fact is was Aug 2002), but unfortunately it wasn't written on the contract (stupid me!)

So now I am waiting to see what they do to rectify the situation. I want the new Head Unit put in (that has Aux input) so we will see what happens.

It is a shame they messed this aspect up, because I am quite depressed about the car now.

I just spoke to the Mini guy at Brisbane BMW and wasn't happy with their attitude in regards to my car being a 2002 spec instead of 2003.

I recommend going to motorline. I will be going there next time.

Thanks Neeshil, and good luck with getting it sorted

Hi Try Butlers BMW in Toowoomba, my dad has just bought a 318i excetive from them and on their business card it said Mini Garage, I rung them and they do do Mini's but order them in they don't stock them.
My father got quoted stupid money for his '98 Falcon from them ie well above anything Brisbane Ford dealers and motorline offered them (+$5000)

Give Barry or scott a call.


I bought my Mini from Brisbane Mini Garage. I found them great!! They even faxed out to me wiring diagrams for the radio as i was considering fitting my Pioneer Cd player.

Nothing was to much trouble, they even let me leave it there while I went to China for a few weeks, Free Parking+ cookies and coffee when I picked it up!1
