Hi all,

This week i am going to pick up a new astro black mini cooper convertible.

Any advise, what to check when picking it up from the dealer?

Also, are there any guidelines when driving the mcc for the first kilometers?

Like not exceeding a specific amount of rpm or stuff like that?

I am thinking that maybe the first kilometers should be driven on open roads rather than in the city. Is this true?

Sorry for my English.

Pictures will follow.

Acceleration, rather than speed, are what you should be cautious of..

As long as you try to keep the revs below around 3,000 for around the first 2,000km where you drive the car won't make any difference.
