So far, since I've gotten my MINI, I've received the following items:
--MINI Coffee Mug (boy, this is handy)
--Motoring Kit with road bingo and other stuff
--a box of chocolates from my Dealer (yea, that was pretty cool)
--Another box of stuff that I don't remember what was in it.

I know that some of you also got the cool numbered tshirts.

Is there more?

(even without all the stuff, this is by far the greatest car that I have ever owned! 10K miles tomorrow, 11 weeks ownership Thurs!)

What you got is what I have got, and I have had my MCS since July 02, '02, I think that that is where it stops. But yeah, it is pretty cool, how much they take care of there valued customers

I consider myself lucky everytime I get in my car! I just love it!

We all made a great choice!

Yeah I got that shirt along with a hat, a keychain MINI Wing, pen with manuals pouch, and a bunch of promo stuff.
But I'm loving that flamin' Cooper model there.
Gotta love the way MINI/BMW takes care of a person, eh?
Cheers,

I haven't gotten my Coffee mug! I did get last night the collection of stuff including a Pen, a journal, the bingo game, the signs to put in your car window, and the 10 idiosycrncies of your MINI, etc. I want my coffee mug! I own a sweatshirt, one for each my DW and I, a CD holder, the MINI logo keychain, hats. But I don't have a stinking coffee cup. I want my coffee cup!

I got the first "care package" and I now have more "Top 10 Idiosyncracies" thingies than I presently know what to do with. It's MINI of Pittsburgh's favourite freebie, methinks... What kind of mug do we get? I have the stainless steel one (bought pre-Ollie adoption) is the care package mug different?

And what I REALLY want is a gift certificate from my dealership to come in and get Ollie painted like that model Maybe a third package? I'll even pay for postage...

Got my MINI and a few mechanical problems which have yet to be fixed. Nothing else--when does it stop (problems, that is)?

Got the coffee mug
And the Motoring kit, both from MINIUSA

And a really great 1/18th scale BRG Cooper from the dealer for participating in the Safari (Rallye) for the car with the fewest miles (the day after I picked it up).

Also don't forget the discount card for accessories/swag from MINIUSA

I agree...it's the car that's really the gift that keeps on giving.

But, the icing on the already oh so sweet cake that I have received:

-a speedometer t-shirt w/ contrasting neck and sleeve hems
-an 1/18 scale model black w/ white roof (cuz the salesperson messed up my registration and I had to go back to the dealer the day after I picked up Elpy)
-motoring kit
-stainless steel mug (which I just received this last week....Elpy picked up 6/6/03)

Getting treats in the mail is so nice these days when the rest is just usually junk and bills. Finding that nice little box w/ a MINI label on it when you get home from a long day at work :smile:

I hope it never stops but I suspect my new owner mail goodies have come to an end.

I am one of few here that has asked "When does it start?".

Only thing I ever got from MINIUSA was a recall notice.

I never received the box of chocolates either, but I did get something EXTRA sweet from a person who has a MINI - and SHE got all the calories.

Does that count.

Picked up the car July 9th and haven't gotten Jack Squat in the mail (or should that be Union Jack Squat?).
