Got a set of the all weather floor mats and some assorted goodies. Got a very cool trash bag that hooks on the seat....
Got all my stuff at the time of delivery from the dealer. Not sure if I will receive a "goodie bag" directly from Mini, but I was seriously happy just for the floor mats.

Ditto - one year in two weeks for me and zero.

Bought my Countryman ALL4 in October, and got my goody bag the other day. Pretty sweet reversible bag. Love the MINI designers. So good.

When I arrived this evening, I saw this bag by my front door. I got excited when I saw it and then I opened it right away. These little things make me happy (and my wife, of course).

I got my wife's CM All4 last October, and I was surprised that I received this goody bag. Love it. :-)

Don't feel your the only ones DevDawg!

Here's my history:

2012 R55 Clubman S Loaded

Ordered: 4/11/12
Started Production: 4/16/12
Exited Paint: 4/25/12
Exited Assembly: 4/28/12
Loaded on TEXAS: 4/30/12
Set Sail: 5/1/12
Arrived at the Port of Baltimore: 5/9/12
At V.D.C.: 5/10/12
Took Possession: 6/5/12

I've received nothing! My Rep. said Swag, what's Swag. I've never heard of that and I've been selling MINI's for years. Yeah right. I could be wrong but I think it has something to do with individual dealerships.

PMKNHD,
The no SWAG or frills also included the Y-cable. I was told they were being stolen during shipment, so they stopped including them. Neither is the scheduled maintainence...if I have any miles left when I get back to the states maybe I'll get one or two oil changes and given the opportunity then....maybe to buy the extended warrantee....maybe.

I got a goodie bag when I picked up my car (it wasn't custom ordered, but I negotiated some stripes and different wheels which took an additional day). Nothing major in it, but got a mug, interior/exterior "shampoo", keychain and also the iPod/iPhone cable. I didn't know that it was included or not, so it was a plus for me.

Got Mine!!!

Purchased my R60 in Aug 2012 and just received a goodie bag in the mail from MINI USA. It came in this neat bag that you can use for other stuff and included a journal, pen, mouse pad, name tag for my car, 1GB R56 shaped flash drive, 10yr anniversary window decal/sticker, 1 year mag subscription, 'Let's Motor' rubberband and couple of other random items. I also got a foam die(dice) that has a small hole in one corner but I can't for the life of me figure out what it's for since it doesn't have a string attached and it wasn't a pair just the one

I like the drawstring bulldog bag, unfortunately that wasn't included in my kit and I got the dice instead of the bulldog ball

I've been meaning to say I got my goodie bag about 3 weeks ago...8 months after I got my car. I'm appreciative that I got it at all though. I was a little annoyed with the enclosed letter welcoming me to the MINI family though considering I bought my first MINI in 2008. Never got anything for that purchase though.

Mine came with all the stuff mentioned in the quote, minus the die, I think. I haven't looked in the bag since I got it, so I may just not be remembering accurately.

@N2fw: The foam die with the hole in it is an antenna topper. The hole is where the antenna fits in.

Oh is that what that is? I got the bull dog ball one then, not the die. I gave it to my 17 month old to play with...hmmm, maybe I'll reclaim it and add a little randomness to my antenna. LOL

My dealer is also a BMW dealer so he gave me a BMW car care kit. It's a five gallon bucket with about five bottles of stuff and a few different styles of clothes for cleaning and buffing etc. And since I was there for the spring cleaning event I got a bag with a hat and water bottle and I also asked if I could have one of the sales events t shirts. Should have got some stripes thrown in, oh well

Makes sense, I'll keep it around in case I ever decide to go back to the stock antennae. I don't think that hole would fit the sport stubby.

On another note, I realized by flipping the shipping package inside out that I also have the bulldog bag... *DOH!*

There's a post about this on the Countryman Facebook group - if you didn't get a Welcome Kit a few months after your car was delivered e-mail you VIN to miniusacares@miniusa.com
