R56 I'm picking up my MINI tomorrow

I started the car, rolled it outside the MINI/BMW dealership and it said 3mi/5km on the clock. Must admit I had trouble keeping the revs down on the way home. The MA said to make sure to vary the speed for the first 1200mi or so.... and I did.... I drove vary fast on the autobahn. Only negatives I've found so far is there was no ipod cable even though I had the ipod prep package thing. That and I worked till almost midnight last night and didn't get to drive.

50 Euros for an Ipod cable.... that's about what $70 with the exchange rate, stupid German traffic laws. I picked it up at the Heidelberg dealership and we got to know each other on the 656 and 6 on the way back home. I like the two lane S-curve where they merge, started in 4th and shifted up through 6th.... keeping it under 4k on the revs.

Got my Mayfair from Military car sales also. My salesman told me about the Ipod cable ahead of time thank God. I got it on eBay for $18 and had it before the car was delivered. Also I found out they do not deliver the car with a full tank of gas. I had to head straight to the gas station. And the 225 Euro for the Nav disc was a shocker but it was all worth it for the trip to Paris. The MINI is so much fun on the Autobahn. I am just afraid to go back to the US where there are speed limits LOL.

Treehugginggirl - Did you get yours from Heidelberg and is it auto? If so, I have driven your car and I loved it. I know what you mean about being afraid to go back to the States and dealing with the speed limit there.
David - Does an air filter really do that much for the car? Do you still have the air filter you PM'd me about earlier? What about suspension bits. I've noticed the car rocks back and forth a bit with the gas and brake.
