1st Time Owner! HELP!

I just purchased a 2009 AT hardtop Cooper with 14k miles. This is also my 1st vehicle purchase, so I'm very excited, yet very scared. I'm pretty much searching for any advice relating to what, say, the 1st 100 days should entail (accessories, treatments, etc...).


Thanks in advance to anyone willing to share their wisdom!

congrats on your first purchase! as a recent new owner of a Mini, I'd have to say that the best thing you can do for the first few months is to just drive it... A LOT... get to know it's character, what you like, what you don't... then read a lot here... a ton of helpful information... especially the threat about Things I didn't know about my Mini (the link eludes me at the moment)... but mostly enjoy!

Welcome to NAM, shieldsy33 and congrats on your new MINI. I would have to second what Ishihara said and drive it, get to know it and the information available here on the NAM forums will certainly help you.

How about a few pics of this new MINI? We just love pics here at NAM. Happy motoring and please don't forget the MINI wave.
