R56 Did you receive anything from MINI after purchase?
#76
I got a Bunt Cake from South Bay MINI. I got a notice from a strange delivery service I had never heard of and i thought it was some kind of junk mail or scam. I called them up and asked them to re-deliver but leave it on my door step. After all my suspicions, it was a bunt cake from MINI welcoming me to the family.

Hey Luv...
You didn't happen to buy ur Coop from a Miami based dealer did ya?
It sounds like I got the same "5 on survey" line. And right now... I'm about to start my FRANK-titude with the MA due to a lot of promises and no come throughs on some accesories he was going to "hook" me up with.

No I bought my Cooper S in Los Angeles, lucky for me my MA promised sport stripes that would be applied at my house and the extra key they somehow lost to be delivered. As promised a week after I bought the car the stripe guy came to my house and applied the stripes and the key arrived a couple of days later.
So far its been a month and a half since I bought it, still no stencil or adventure kit.
Good luck with your MA

And the tin was pretty cool too.
It's the round white tin in the center that says "Century BMW".

I find it had to believe for a dealer to offer a second key as an extra or incentive to buy a car.

Holy COW, Did I ever get rooked!!! This is my second MCS, and my husband's second BMW from the same dealer in four years (talk about commissions!?!) and I got diddly squat!! No, wait...I CONTINUALLY get emails from them promoting Volvos and other BMWs. !?!?!!?! What part of "2nd Mini" didn't this guy get??
I guess I, ah, "intimidated" the dealer when he kept trying to hand me story after story (on all four vehicles! Why did I go back!?) so I ended up getting a cheap ball cap, and some magnets, and a huge dramatic flourish when he finally gave me my manual. Wow. He promised a NAV DVD, but we ended up borrowing the Euro versions - which were copies anyway! If I hadn't bullied him, I probably wouldn't have ended up with anything.
Speaking of cool stuff, while I was in Europe, I kept seeing articles about Mini billboards in certain cities that would recognize the key fobs as you passed, and lit up with by-name messages to the owners! Evidently owners registered, and listed their jobs, etc. when they purchased, and this billboard contraption would light up with, "Cookin with the Mini, Karen?" (chef) etc. I haven't seen anything since I've been back...anybody know about those signs?

I belive it depends on how greatful your particular dealership is. I got a clear glass candy jar with the dealer logo on it. The jar was filled with butter-scotch hard candies. The dealer did throw in a set of all weather mats so no complaints here....

I just got my MINI Adventure Field Kit in the mail today!! So, along with the freebies my MA gave me when I bought the car (floor mats, key chains, antenna ball, detailing spray, spray wax, MINI umbrella) I received a mouse pad, MINI pen, MINI travel journal, another antenna ball, and various other things. Pretty cool stuff.

...so, rubber Cooper S mats, bulldog key chain, MINI spill-proof cup, and TWO BALL CAPS today from the stealership. I guess they were being nice since they had to redo the clear bra, so the sales manager asked if I wanted a ball cap or not...

We got a thank you note from the salesman and a box of junk from Mini, NO COOKIES! The junk box held a pair of paper sun glasses that lets you read Mini codes for discounts on mdse. But I've never seen the ads I was supposed to find somewhere(?). There was a small paper book of "one liners" for Mini owners, totally useless & slightly humorous. A pen, that was nice, I put it in the glovebox. And a real wierd item, I believe it was an orange ball or looked like one. I didn't know what to do with it so I gave it to the dog.
