Any 2012 Owners receive anything extra from MINI?

I've heard that MINI sends its new owners welcome packages filled with all sorts of random things, antennae ball, pen, journal, carwash kit...etc.

Any of the 2012 countrymen owners receive anything from MINI yet? And if you did, how long after delivery of your vehicle did you receive it?

Just curious, thanks.

30 days here as well... heck, even the packaging was cool!

Oh, but mine's a 2011. You probably don't qualify.

Hang in there, it'll arrive. Go drive your MINI in the meanwhile!!!

Cheers,
Tad

Oooooh... I think someone should start a "Spoilers" thread and post pics of the 2012 goody bags! I am not know for my patience, but I am known for my ability to ruin surprises!

When we got our Clubman in 2008, we received a package from MINI Canada after about 8-10 weeks.

We've had our 2011 Countryman for 4+ months now, and so far, nothing

My Dad has had his Countryman for close to 3 weeks now, and no sign of the goody bag. I know he doesn't go in for that stuff, so I can't wait to snag it when he hands it off. XD

Hmmm, so it seems the goody bag's arrival date is going to be the biggest surprise!

And thanks to Kay Gee for keeping the contents a secret. I'd hate to have been responsible for ruining some else's surprise.

Thanks all, I guess I won't hold my breath, just like my awesome countryman, it'll get here when it gets here.

^^No Problem.


I'm a firm believer in not ruining suprises. I'm an adult, and Santa Claus still comes to my house. (meaning: no presents appear under the tree until Christmas Morning, cuz he delivers 'em)

My MA said I was getting the antenna ball in a few weeks for my new MINI. Still haven't gotten it yet, its been almost 3 weeks. Not sure if he was referring to a MINI goodie bag. Also I asked my MA if new MINI customers got any discounts off the price of the car. "He said No, but I can throw in some free stuff so I go the MINI Cool Bag for free."

the best "extra" i got, was a gift from the Parts manager. He hooked me up with a 'shorty' Sport Antenna the day I bought my CMS ALL 4

I thought this couldn't possibly be true. However, I got my goody bag today! A little over a month since I picked up Mickey. Sorry, Montana, it doesn't appear to be CM specific.

Three weeks on the nose, and we got ours! I won't spoil anything inside, but I will advise not to cut open the bag but to pull the seam apart (it will instruct you to cut it). The bag it comes in, when turned inside-out, doubles as a small back pack.
