the one I got from Otto's in West Chester, PA is the one on the top, 3rd from the left. I don't use it, but it's perfect for the spare key because the bottom ring detaches making it a 'valet' keychain. They also gave me a gift certificate for their store, so I picked up one of the cable ones with the wings logo.

Habberstad in LI gives the steering wheel ones. Looks a bit smaller then the one pictured though.

The one we got from Motor City MINI in Michigan is different yet.

It weighs 3 pounds and can be used for self-defense. It’s nailed to the garage wall.

it seems it has been 'repurposed' for my girlfriend's house/car keys. I'll tell you what, next time I'm at the dealer I'll see if they'll give me another and you're on for the trade!

Wow... two MINIs from two dealers and I haven't got a damn thing.

Global gives rings? I certainly didn't get one.

I was glad to receive a black billet alluminum key ring, the one with the ruber loop and round MINI logo, from East bay MINI. The MINI key is big enough, this key ring doesn't add extra weight in your pocket.

The other day I was on the MINI MotoringGear site and found the current collection available online. I was wanted the Wings Cable style ring. That day they said it was discontinued. I ordered one from MiniMania Part#NMA6012. Now I see MINI says the Horseshoe style ring is discontinued instead. Anybody have an idea whats up here?

This is what Prestige MINI gives you in Mahwah, NJ. My wife had won me a MINI lanyard on e-Bay that was black with "MINI MINI MINI MINI MINI" all the way around it and on both sides. I left it with my badge at IBM on Christmas Eve and hope to get it back today...

OK, call me lucky, but we went by MINI of Dallas yesterday for some programming issues, and low and behold, the MA that sold us our GOLDIE didn't want us using the Jackie Cooper MINI, Oklahoma dealer keychains, so he gave us 2 new ones Just like this one

The one I got is an orange rubber figure 8 looking thing with a brushed aluminum band around the middle of the figure 8 that has a MINI logo on it. It's about the size of the key.

Here is a pic (The ring that goes through the chain and the key came with them):

I got two free keychains!!!!

I couldn't find them, but today I did. My dealer was very generous & gave me two spiffy keychains.

Chuck

I think I'll sell them on fleaBay.

When we picked up Sting from Global, we got 2 key chains. They are the round ones with the Mini logo on one side and the dealer infor laser engraved on the other.

When I first got my MINI I got two key chains. But the one I used broke when the weld broke on the disk so MINI of Charleston sent me another one.

The left one is from Classic in 04 and the right is Rasmussen in Portland, OR in 06. They are both nice and heavy but I like the design of the Classic one the best.

I bought my MINI from Niello in Sacramento and got the attached keychain. A friend drove me to Sacramento to pick up the car. When she saw my keychain, she asked Crystal if she could have one too. Crystal accomodated her.
