I picked up my Mellow '08 MCS on 7/18/08 @ Ott's Mini, West Chester, PA. They gave me a $35.00 coupon to use in their Mini Boutique . Bought a Mini Hat & also a pen/pencil set. Had to kick in a little extra to cover difference. Haven't recv'd anything from Mini....yet.

manish,

people have said that they called miniusa and told them that they hadn't received anything after about 3 months, and then mini sent them their adventure kit. so you may want to try that.

Yep, that's exactly what I had to do. Then of course, 8 week or so later I received the kit.

Then a few weeks after the first kit, a second shows up...then a month later a 3rd kit. So far I've been holding at 3 kits, waiting for another.

I received my Mini Adventure Field Kit in the mail yesterday, a few days shy of 8 weeks after purchasing Sunny. Didn't need to call anyone or do anything! I wonder if it is the dealer who is dropping the ball and not Mini?!

Once you register in Mini's Owner's Lounge on the Mini USA website, you'll receive a box full of Mini goodies or junk depending on how you look at it. From the dealer I received two Mini key chains...

Key Chain

Yeah, I'm really looking forward to my key chain. Then I'll feel so much better about the $400 "administrative fee" they add to all BMW and MINI purchases at Crown MINI in Richmond...whee!

(Memo to self: tomorrow you must be a better person and not make sarcastic comments like that).

Beat this - I got my car March 12th and *still* haven't gotten anything. But payment due notices for the first of each month!

Guess I should call MINI tomorrow...

Nope - not a threat at all.

And not freaking.

Apparently tone is the one thing that can get misconstrued from a typed message. Perhaps I should have said - HAHA I Call B.S. - HAHA or the good old

/me smiles (for you IRC people)

As we walked out of the dealership, the salesman stopped us, ran inside, and give us a Mini keychain with the wings on one side and the dealership name printed on the other. It's the one with the black leather rectangular core inside brushed steel fingers. Pretty nice, I've been using it ever since.

When I got the parking place stencil, the card that came with it mentioned that I "expected a new arrival soon", so I think it was related to me registering with MiniUSA.

adventure kit

I got my adventure kit 4 days ago and haven't taken my secret decoder glasses off yet. Things look a little funny and my wife won't be seen with me but sooner or later I'll find a MINI secret message.

I received a windshield sunscreen in a nice bag, two pens, and rubber mats from my dealer, nothing from Mini yet. Fingers crossed.
