Getting a MINI in 2 days!

[BlueSky_Phase]

So, I finally take ownership of my slightly used MINI this coming Monday.
I'm so friggin' excited. The test drive really sold it for me, but I'm sure you folks know all about that.
I have few questions though.
On the key fob, there is the unlock door button, and then a MINI logo shaped button. What does the latter one control? Also the battery in it is dead. Do I just ask the dealership for a new battery?
Last one.
With just under 10k on the clock should I go ahead and have an oil change 'cause I don't know how the previous owner drove the car or wait till the computer says so?

Thanks.

Not sure if you getting a 2005 mini but i will guess you are...

On the key fob, there is the unlock door button, and then a MINI logo shaped button. What does the latter one control?
There should be three buttons on your mini key fob. The Unlock button who's purpose is obvious, the round middle mini buttons who's purpose is to lock the car, and there is the rear hatch button which opens up the rear hatch...

Also the battery in it is dead. Do I just ask the dealership for a new battery?
You should have two mini keys when you get your mini. They charge when they are in the ignition so If the key is not working try leaving it in the running car for a while and see if it works or use the other key. It may have went dead from not being used ever. If it does not charge after being in a running car for an hour then take it to the dealer. I assume this would be under warranter

With just under 10k on the clock should I go ahead and have an oil change 'cause I don't know how the previous owner drove the car or wait till the computer says so?
Obviously first of all you want to check the oil level in the car. If it is low then buy the recommended oil and top her off yourself, otherwise I would wait till the designated time the computer says to get one since it is free then rather then paying out of pocket for one early...

Hope these answer your questions.
cheers

Thank you guys for the answers and encouragement.
I can't wait 'till tomorrow!
As far as I know this dealership only has one key. Unless they just havent shown me the other one.
They bought the car from an auction, so I don't know if it came with it or not.

Thanks again.
irv out.
