New MCS

[caesar]

Hello all,

Collecting my new MCS in the morning, and am wondering what mileage should be showing on the clock

[MINICooperMurph]

7 or 8 miles

[Tigger, Eeyore & Roo]

Pretty much what MINICooperMurph said. But, to add a bit more information:

My original '04 Cooper came with 7 miles on the clock; my Feb '07 registered R53 MCS (although it was built in June '06) came with 15 miles showing on the clock. I've just collected a new car for work and that came with 7 miles showing as well.

Hope that helps.

Tigger.

My last car, a Fiesta ST, had 15 miles on the clock when I collected it.

I wonder where the magic no. 7 comes from - alot of peoples seem to come on it. Not really sure how it gets that high anyway?

Driving on/off transporter and into dealer / dealers storage compound and then a quick check run as part of the PDI.

Anymore than 15 miles and the tea boy has used it for the morning buttie run

My Dealer said the car is delivered to their local BMW depot for a PDI by transporter from the factory. Once the PDI is completed at their depot, then it is delivered to the dealer for valeting again by transporter.

I can only suppose therefore that the magic 7 miles is the result of moving on/off transporters, and testing of the car at the factory.
