Here are two bulldogs on eBay:

Well, it's good to see some one else is got about the same as me... I got (the day before Farley...)

Car
Bill for $2K more than anticipated (from night before)
2 keys on cheap silver rings - no key chain
Tank of gas - I think full - haven't filled it up yet
A super quick turn around time and a really nice MA...

Would have loved some freebies - but what can you do... I guess I didn't spend enough $$ (haha)
heck - with my old VW they even threw in the floormats - these I had to buy! Maybe next time! Oh - and no drinks (none even offered), no snacks - but then I brought them mini pastry... What are you gonna do? Call them up and say give me free stuff? Well - that is an idea... Maybe when I have to go in for service... hmmmmm

SMILES!

Farley · Apr 1st, 2004, 11:09 PM

Thanks MiniMamaMia---They actually have them at my dealer for the same price on ebay (and I wouldn't have to pay shipping) plus I have my gift certificate to spend! But I know I'll end up spending more than that $25 as I have other things in mind.... : )

billyone · Apr 4th, 2004, 05:56 PM

i got a ruck-sack for my 5 year old daughter and half a tank petrol and a mini keyring

htrout13 · Apr 8th, 2004, 04:56 AM

So - had to head back to the dealer to sign more papers... though for sure I'd get something this time around... still empty handed. Some day.... I have to believe some day I'll get something... Just one thing... sigh....

The bulldog is rather smart, oddly enough saw a real one yesterday !

What it wearing a MINI collar though?

smartbomb · Apr 9th, 2004, 01:54 PM

Yes, but not the funky MINI one, was a mere pup ! ;-)

MUK · Apr 13th, 2004, 01:10 PM

Full Tank of Petrol
Very large bouqet of flowers
2 x Keyrings
and
Staff that know what they are talking about

Lind Norwich - can't fault them..

ClashCityRocker · Apr 15th, 2004, 02:57 PM

Rydale Cardiff - half a tank of petrol and *** all else. Not very impressed but all I wnated was to get behind the wheel of my MINI and I was happy to do that.

smartbomb · Apr 15th, 2004, 09:13 PM

Some dealers can be really stingey ! The stuff isn't the be all and end all, but it's all part of the fun !
Popped past the factory today, took Dunk to his birthplace !

BobbySueZQ · Apr 20th, 2004, 06:24 PM

I went in expecting nothing but a “thanks for your business”. I knew from the day I ordered the car that I would be getting the floor mats thrown in, because I had wanted to order them and my MA told me not to worry they include them.

My list is short n sweet. Full tank of premium gasoline, carpeted floor mat set, cup holder thingey, a fairly nice keyring … which I’ll probably keep using just cause I don’t think I can get the key off of it…. Um does everyone get the road atlas book? That’s a fun little thing. And I think that’s really about it. Oh yeah, Mini Smints.

htrout13 · Apr 20th, 2004, 06:38 PM

Still waiting for a keyring and smints... and I had to buy my floor mats... grumble grumble...

Plus side - when I buy by euro tray - they'll pop it in for me - free of charge! woo hoo!

And yeah - I believe the road atlas comes with the owners manual... marketing gimic ya know...

Still having a blast - nice to see you haven't abandoned us all together!!!

ScottyB · Apr 21st, 2004, 01:18 AM

I wanted the $250 AUD option floor mats.

I told them to throw them in as a condition of sale. Then got an extra $1000 on my trade-in, as another condition of sale

So they'll probably stinge me on any possible free stuff

Schmidt · Apr 21st, 2004, 10:19 AM

I picked my MCS yesterday and got a bunch of flowers for my girlfriend and nothing else.
My car did have a full tank of fuel, but on checking the paperwork I had paid for it.
In fairness to the dealer they had given me the luggage for half price ( to keep me sweet)
so I suppose they felt I,d had enough freebies.

smartbomb · Apr 21st, 2004, 07:21 PM

Luggage is awesome ! Flowers are a neat touch, although I think girls prefer diamonds !
Bit cheeky for the fuel !
Such a strong selling car still, which is great for resale, but not for freebies ! But I know which I'd choose...

Rich_IX · May 30th, 2004, 02:05 PM

When I picked mine up in December 03,
I got
A full tank of petrol
A free Pen

erm thats it

monkeynuts · May 30th, 2004, 04:31 PM

did you know the full price of fuel is not a freebie and was part of the BMW "il-have-your-car-here-ready-to-drive" package?

Look at your invoice - its on it!

Geoff & Gill · May 31st, 2004, 11:46 AM

I've been quoted £350 to Superguard and £49 to fill with fuel and leave a litre of oil in the boot.
I've suggested £120 to Superguard and free fuel and oil.
I'm waiting for a response.

But.... I want the car (Convertible) and they can get me one for August - earlier than anyone else I have tried - so what do you do?
