This is a great dealership. I live in Seattle and flew 2800 miles to pick the car up. The entire transaction was conducted via e-mail and phone but Meredith and Eric were incredibly helpful, knowledgable and it's a very low-pressure dealership.

No additional charges, no need to buy packages you don't want, just great service.

I also recommend a nice long road trip, which is what I did to get the car home. It's a great way to bond with the car, get to know it's quirks and functions and discover any potential problems (I didn't have any).

My local dealer is looking at 6-7 month waits for Coopers. Harris was 2 1/2 months for one speced out exactly as I wanted it. Great place.

I'm getting mine soon from Brian Harris BMW/Mini. I hope all works out well because it's been a long, long road for me as far as time waiting. My experience so far has been ok, except for a few things that have bugged me. I don't want to jinx it so I'm crossing my fingers hoping my delivery is smooth as silk. (not silk green)

My cooper came from Brian Harris and the entire process was great. It wasn't like other car dealers that I have been to in the past or in the past two months. The service was fantastic. Eric, the salesman, was knowledgable, patient and there was no pressure.
I wanted the S, but ended up buying one off the lot becuase I couldn't wait 4-6 to have one built.

Bought the first one--MCS Liquid Yellow, Stripes, Leather, White 17", from Eric. Delightful day. Knowledgeable and fun to deal with. Cost is list. No markup (or markdown .

Two days later, the wife was on the phone ordering a second one. Two days before arrival, she decided to take a different MCS that arrived with the same shipment. No problem on changing her mind. Could have reordered, no problem. No hassles at all about taking a different car. Another great experience. Eric came in on his day off to do the deal with us. Guess he had fun on the first one also.

Highly recommend this dealership. They sell for sticker price and keep a pretty good inventory on hand.

I also recommend this dealer. I got my MCS from Brian Harris last week, and they were great to deal with! Straight MSRP, no pressure to get upgrades -- but most of all, they can get you an MC or MCS quick!!

I just bought my MCS two weeks ago at Brian Harris BMW. Absolutely the best car buying experience I have ever had. Contacted Lance by phone and we found the car I wanted. Chilli red black top. Set up the time to pick it up on Saturday. Car was ready and waiting PERFECT in every way. Paid the man and drove the car home a few hours later. Had to drive one of the demos MC40 just because.

Through go over of the car how all the bells and whistles work. and they even plated ball with my 4 yr old while I did a phone call to the bank.

If you are going to buy a Mini see these guys 1st. Plus if you an out of towner you can now have an excuse to get down to New Orleans.

Good service department.

I just had to share this. I bought my MC from Brian Harris in Baton Rouge when I was living in Seattle. I now live in Oregon but am in central Washington working at the moment. Just today, in the parking lot of the resort where I'm staying there is a MCS with a Brian Harris license plate frame. I left a note on the car since it was parked near mine. Pretty good coincidence considering this is a pretty rural area in Washington State. What are the chances?
