New Mini Owner In Kansas

Last Saturday my wife and me drove by the BMW dealer and they had a couple of mini’s parked out front, we did a quick U turn and went back to check them out. That was about 4:30 and by 6:00 we were a new Mini S owner. We got 06 Chile Red option package 1 – 2 – 3 – 4, Nav and Auto and of coarse the “S”. Looks like I have a lot to learn about them but I do enjoy cars!!! Here some of the other cars I own cars.537wine.biz

Congrats. Now show a little restraint and keep it below 4000 during break in. Your fist hit of 4500+ RPM's will be very exciting!

I would love to know what was going through y'alls head when you made that U-turn!!!

Welcome to MINIdom!!

Optioned up MINIs are easier to find on the lot. It's actually harder for those who have specific options/color in mind. Glad you found your MINI and it found you...sounds like one great ride!!!

Congrats on your new MINI! At least you didn't have to go through the agony of waiting after ordering. Sounds like you got pretty lucky on buying a MINI fully loaded. It's not often you can find one a dealer lot like that. Enjoy!
