WOW - a free plastic bag - take care, they only want to catch you for the 7 Series !

With the 7 series, I hear they are giving away a plain paper bag, presumably this is for the driver to place over his head as some sort of anti-recognition-device...

No, no no no! You've got it all wrong. It's not a plain paper bag, - this is the new 7 series so that would not do at all!

Instead it's a high-tech space age fiber bag fitted with temperature and humidity sensors that control special heating and cooling units in addition to the constant flow ventilation system. It is, of course, controlled by the 7-series I-drive system and only requires 8 distinct steps to follow when putting it on or taking it off of the driver's head.

And will presumably release a toxic gas at the first trace of buyer's remorse?

Picked up my S at Lauderdale MINI on 5/24 and received:

Carpeted floor mats
Full tank of gas
CD of choice
Heavy chromed MINI keyring with dealer's # on back
MINI badge keyring, circle cable
MINI lapel pin
SMints
Florida doesn't require a front license plate, got a nice black/white/silver MINI badge plate instead (matches MINI's colors too)

Generous I thought, and I'm very pleased.

This was a pre-spec that came with 17" R85 S spoke wheels, but I really wanted the R90 cross spokes. The only ones available were on an aero kit Cooper in the showroom. Bonnie the MINI manager arranged a full credit for my R85's and had vehicle prep swap the R90's onto my S.

This is a 1st Class operation from start to finish, I can't recommend them highly enough.

Sealevel,
That's a ver commendable 'amount' of stuff there, and top service too.....close to head of the list I reckon !

BruceK,
I have been in touch with BMW with regards to optional disguise option for the new 7 series. I was informed that 'The spokesman for that model is unavailable for comment, he's, er , well, he's, um, well, yes, ahem, he's out researching the I drive, er I meant Xbox bag add ons...'

I got everything that I asked for.

Superior cooper mats
Clear side indicators
Top up to full tank of petrol

A £1000 below book offer on my trade in.
(Which I did not accept)

Should I have kept going?

[smartbomb]

flipper,
Of course you should have kept going ! I did and came out of it pretty darn well !

Shame about the p/x offer, I have heard that MINI are very stingy on p/xs, luckily I sold my old Cooper a week before I picked up my new one !

A T-Shirt.

But, a very cool one. Has the mini logo on the back and a picture of an odometer on the front with 000162 on it. I was the 162 "S" purchaser. They are going to give out 200.

And the mints.

Anybody know where to get a key fob with the mini logo on it?

[smartbomb]

The T shirts sound pretty cool !!

[jtpryan]

And a bottle of wine. Good too.

[smartbomb]

Coooool,
Glad to hear dealers sticking their hands in their own pockets as well as those of the customer. I reckon my dealer has bought my loyalty ! Can't wait to order my next MINI...!!!

[jtpryan]

Full tank of gas!
