Never have gotten anything except MINI related e-mails.
It really should not surprise anyone though that BMW wants to sell their cars to MINI owners. Look at the threads where people talk about getting M3s, Z4s, etc.... there are A LOT. And BMW doesn't really hide the fact that MINI is their "Gateway drug" to the more expensive lines. It's good marketing on their part. Only sell MINIs at BMW dealers.... No other manufacturer does that. Do you think GM wants to have a combined chevrolet/cadillac dealer??

... I haven't got my eMail yet ... maybe they actually Do read my posts! - but I never actually called them the Evil Empire in print!
... I Did get a nice little box in the mail a few weeks ago: It had a little viewer thingie (the kind you hold up to the light) and it had a slide of the X3 (or something?) in it ... kinda 'first glimps' sorta thing ... oh, well - i don't think i'll be getting one of those either ...

I got the BMW spam, and promptly fired off 2 emails - one to BMW and one to Mini telling them how much I did not appreciate the spam. Might I suggest that all of you who do not appreciate the garbage in your inbox to let them know as well.
By the way, I test drove the Z4 before buying my Mini. I found the Mini to be a vastly superior car, for far less money.

Why all the marketing bashing? They sell cars, they dont send you emails every single day. What is wrong with them trying to cross market products. It obviously will not work well as the typical MINI buyer is different from the typical Bimmer buyer, but let them waste time and money employing good quality people (who knows where) doing it.
No more bmw bashing - its MINIUSA that sucks!

>>According to Autoweek Magazine (I think it was Autoweek) Many Mini owners are former or current BMW owners. Many buy their Mini's or MCS as a second or third car and also own a M3, corvette or 911.
