Hello

I am a triple BMW owner. I myself presently drive an 08 335i coupe'. With the rising price of gas, my next toy will be a MCS. Its just a damn shame there ain't no European Delivery of Coopers. Here we are taking delivery at Die Welt.

Welcome and happy future motoring!! I have had BMW's for years and sold my 323 convertible and bought an '09 MCS. I loved my BMW and my wife drives a 530, but I thoroughly enjoy my MINI.

That 300 HP twin turbo is an amazing engine!!

Welcome to the forum, maybe they don't want to put too many Americans on the road with wrong side drive on their roads.

Drove a 2011 MCS at dealer today. What surprised me was the ride. It was less harsh than my 335i without runflats. More agility and decent gas milage-- this is the right direction.

I hammered out a deal with my local dealer on a loaded 2011 MCS on Thursday. I am ordering and trading in the 335i coupe next Wednesday. I have a pick up truck to drive until my MCS is delivered.

Did my deal today and traded in my BMW coupe'. I got my salesperson to take me home in the demo MCS and let me drive since it will be 6 to 8 weeks before my new toy arrives.
Ordered Lazer blue inc. roof, black lounge, anthracite headliner, int. chrome, all packages, manual,rear fog, etc.
