Hi, I've seen reference to the Authorized and Unauthorized Owner's Manual. How would one go about getting copies of these. My JCW Cabrio is STILL sitting on the docks awaiting his cruise and I would like some pleasant reading to prepare me for the day he arrives. Thanks!

 

Google "Unauthorized Owner's Manual" and click on the first hit. It's not unauthorized; Mini wrote it. They just call it "unauthorized" because it's, you know, whimsical. See also Things You Didn't Know About Your Mini.

The real owners manual comes with your car, and doesn't seem to have been ripped online yet, but no doubt will be soon.

Of course, most of that is pre-2012. For 2012 who knows where whimsy will take us?
