Received a nice surprise gift set from MINI yesterday.

My wife went out to get the mail yesterday and told me I received a package from MINI USA. I had no idea what it was. Anyone else receive this gift package yet?

I was very nicely surprised at the contents.
1. MINI International Magazine (published twice yearly)
2. MINI car flash drive
3. MINI antenna ball topper (which I refuse to use, LOL)
4. MINI pen
5. LET'S MOTOR band
6. MINI personal journal (hard cover) with bulldog engraved logo
7. MINI draw-string bag with bulldog logo
8. MINI paper clip
9. A Name Tag you print your MINI's name on and apply to side door jam
10. Fundamentals of Good Motoring booklet (neat)

MINI is one class act company IMO!

I haven't received that package yet, but my dealership did send me a nice tin of gourmet chocolate chip cookies. Just what I needed.... something to make the sports seats seem smaller :D

On average how long is it taking for these goodies to arrive? I've got a feeling a long wait is in order for me. Purchased in very early July.

Drove my new Mini home on 6/24/14, and my wife got hers the next week. Neither of us has received a gift package (yet). No package from the dealer, either (my wife did get them to relent and give us each a Mini T-shirt. Oh....and I helped myself to a free soda from the Owner's lounge fridge while signing the paperwork )

Got a nice surprise. It is the portfolio case for the manual. It is black nylon with orange stitching. I was surprised not to get it when I purchased my VO MCS. Looks really cool, i'll probably use it for something else.

I received my slipcase/manual case in the mail today. I had no expectations of ever getting one since my car came without one in April. Keeping track of who was missing this item was a nice move by Mini!

You probably have to wait for the EPA testing to be completed....Expect delivery sometime mid-October......

Must have missed it in the inventory list from the factory. First I have heard about this. Well they are listed above if anyone is missing them, usually its from a resell ( used) of the car and then miss placed.

Yup, my dealer said no slipcases with the new car manuals. They had a small stockpile but that is long gone. Nice to know that MINI will send one - eventually.
