That was a second key, they lost the original second key and when I picked up my car there was only 1, so they had to order another one and had it sent to me. They didn't offer it as an incentive, I just noticed there was only one, and I wanted to make sure I got both of them, since they are so expensive.
The only problem now, I have the convenience package and this key wasn't programmed or something so it doesn't work like the other one. Your supposed to be able to start the car without the key inserted and unlock the door by pushing the door button. So I have to go back and get it programmed.

Last week I took the car to Inskip Mini in Rhode Island, they had to delete the current working key, "reboot" the ECU, then the car accepted both keys for comfort access.
Hope that helps.

Thankfully, he took care of it. Otherwise, I would have been one hot mamma to get back home and realize that the OTHER key wasn't working!
Emailed my MA about the care package, but haven't heard back from him yet...

I just recieved my Advanture kit few days ago, but it was too tall for my mail box so the mailman crushed the box to get it to fit.
In the box, there's one floormat....wait, oh, it's a mouse pad. There's a giant erraser that looks like a dice..... Who still use errasers nowdays? Anyway, it didn't work too good; it just smear everything..... (I know it's an antenna ball). BTW, the rubber smell on the mouse pad is so strong that I may have to throw it away. Incidentally, I got the MINI parking stencil way before I put in my order. As far as dealer gifts, just a keychain that I have no use (I use a leather key pouch). Maybe I shouldn't have told them I'm keeping this MINI for 10 yrs.

I just ordered from MOS and I asked my MA after she printed the configuration if there was anything extra she could do, and she said she could throw in the floor mats, and she put them on the print out and gave me a copy of it. Although I guess I shouldn't hold my breath for anything else?

I've been told by authoritative sources that the mirror contains a sensor that detects and counts the number of times you wave at other MINI drivers. When you take your baby in for service, they download the info to MINI who sends the most friendly drivers more stuff.
There's also a rumor that the bluetooth hardware is configured to detect other MINI bluetooths in the area and if you fail to wave, you get negative points against you. But that's probably just a bad rumor

Now to wave to other Mini owner's just stick your arm out of your window and wave and they will wave back with a smile.

Opened it and found this:

Thanks Nick Alexander, that was a nice surprise!!!
