I bought my 2007 MINI convertible and it lacks the owners manual. It's not the S but does have the onboard navigation. Besides downloading the manual on line any idea on where I can score a set of originals with the casing?

 

To get the PDF version, go to the MINI Owner's Lounge, create an account and sign in. Then go to the "Your MINI" tab, then select "Owner's Manual" from the list on the left. Then select 2007 from the drop-down menu and you can either view the owner's manual online or download it. Or send me a PM with your email and I'll send it to you that way.

As for getting a printed copy with the case and other assorted manuals, your dealer can order it, or they show up fairly regularly on eBay.
