There aren't any around my town people have actually asked me what she is..to funny. Well I have a question.Is anyone have problems with the trim piece falling off on the passenger door around the door handle. I had them replace it when i picked it up and this one seems worse.

Door trim falling off is, of course, not normal...the trim pieces apparently are considered "breakables" at dealerships in that they, as well as several others interior door trim pieces, break fairly easily if replaced or removed for some reason. It's possible a clip or tab is broken and therefore it should be relaced w/ new by the dealer. Once that's done you'll be good to go!!

Congats on the new MINI and welcome!!!

Dealer fixed no problem

Took the mini in and the dealer fixed the loose falling off cover. Seems it is a problem they are aware of. I love this car everywhere I go people just rave over how cool it is and what is it???? Worth every penny..
