William here, saying hello, and proud as a new parent of my first Mini. Acquired a 2015 MINI Coupe S with only 980 miles; an apparent Demo car from a MINI dealer in Texas. It has Sports, Cold Weather and Xenon Light packages, Harmon Kardon Sound, 17" run flats, paddle shifter auto, and other stuff I have no clue about. Coupe's a blast - will post pictures of same against the San Clemente, coastline, when I stop drivin. Any advice on how not to screw up this acquisition, from the git go, is appreciated. WmEsq77

 

Congrats

 

Congratulations and welcome to NAM!
We'll be looking forward to your pictures.

 

Frequently change oil = not screwing up acquisition!

 

Thank you all for your warm welcome, and good advice.

I have a R58 JCW Coupe and I love it. Congrats on the new MINI. BTW we need pics


Did you get it ate the MINI dealer as a CPO or new? I know some demo cars are still sold new even though they have some miles.

 

I second the motion for pictures of said vehicle.

 

I third that motion.

 

What a find, congrats and welcome to NAM. We have a full service & maintenance guide on our website plus info on accessories, mods, etc. to keep her running spot on. Any questions, just ask.

Drive Hard. Drive Safe. Keep Grinning.

 

I use Bavarian Otto's maintenance guide and it works for me.

It is XM ready, for 5 bills, it's Xm ready, what's up with that? Armrest next? Pics taken on Dana Point Bluff, looking East towards San Clemente, CA. Yeah, really East.

Congrats, pretty cool to have one of the last

 

I wonder who bought the very last "NEW" R58 Coupe?

 

last one made or last one sold?

US only, or anywhere?

we bought a 'new' roadster back in July which had been on the dealer's lot for 13 months .... with a build date Mar of 15 .....

there were still a decent handful of 59's available 'new' at Florida dealers alone.

 

Yea, thats going to be hard to find out. MINI national sales manager might know that.

 

That is a good question...I would say last one MADE. The last one has already been sold. I always love to know the bookends for certain models.

 

I can work my magic and do some digging around.
