R56 Buying Info (2008)
Almost dinner time for us =) 
I dont think there is any kind of additional fee or subscription with the navi, but i'm not positive. I considered getting it but for the price, realized that i probably wouldn't use it that much. Although, i love my sunroof =)

I'm 90% sure this is what I want.
Standard Cooper. Chili Red. Black or white roof with either black or white bonnet stripes and black or white rims, I just cant decide. Aero Bodykit. Sports Package. Rooster red interior. Automatic transmission.
And not many other features. Probably won't get a sunroof, don't really think it's needed. Not sure about the built in navigation, do you have to pay a subscription for it?

Hope you had a good post-dinner drive!
And as for the Navigation? Get a Garmin with a Kuda mount-- but that's just me. But I've been addicted to my Garmins for about 3 years now. Can't live without 'em.

After building a million different versions on the mini website I've decided to go with the
Laser Blue S Cooper
White Roof, White Bonnet Stripes, Bodykit, Sports Package, Automatic Transmission, Pacific Blue Interior With Silver Lining, White 17" rims that comes with the sports package, Arm Rest, Alarm System (this should be standard
), Multifunction Wheel, And I think that is pretty much it.I figured I should just go all out with this car since it will be my first and I will own it for many many years
It came out to about 28k, but I won't end up placing the order for it for a few months
so I can save up enough money for a BIG down payment
I believe the warranty is keyed to your in-service date (ie: the day you take delivery).

Hey everyone!
I just took delivery of my MCS last Wednesday. I need a bit of advice. Since i wasn't prepared or had no idea that i would be able to extend the warranty - i didn't extend anything. The lady at Mini Of Sterling sent me home w/ paperwork to look over to decide at a later date to extend something. Did anyone extend their warranties? Lo-Jack, Road Hazard, regular extended maintenance?
Thanks in advance!

Nope - no extended warranty -- they've made my baby so well, I'm not expecting any problems. According to my son, they are basically a big money maker for the dealership and VERY rarely will you need that. But, all in all, it's what you're comfortable with that you have to go with.
Dipset...
One thing to remember, you have more than one dealer in your neck
of the woods. It might be a good idea to shop around a bit before
you spend your hard earned cash.....
Compare more than just price. Then go with whomever you feel most
comfortable with.
