I got a one-owner 2012 MCS EG 6 speed. My first MINI!

Ladies and Gentlemen -
I just got a "new to me" 2012 MCS EG 6 speed with 25,000 miles, one-owner, no accidents lease return. Very happy here, it was not my first color choice but when I saw it in the dealer lot I really liked it. I have a ton of questions and will post pictures this weekend. I believe it is the base MCS however I noticed it has the 17" conical wheels so I'm not sure if it has the sports package. It has the owners manual but no window sticker available. I will try to contact MINI to get the car details with VIN number. This will be a "toy" car for the weekends. My first MINI! Happy Motoring.

Congrats on your new Mini. You're really going to like it.
The VIN will break everything down for you, and any Mini dealer can read your Fob and tell you how it shipped from the factory also.
The wheel choice wouldn't be indicative of a sports package alone as there are a lot of different ways the car can be configured if it was ordered by the first owner.
Enjoy it.

Congratulations!

Enjoy it! And the first thing you need to know is, check your oil level, regularly.

Same goes for tire pressures for handling feel and the best wear.

Also, have the dealer check to see if it has the Extended Maintenance with it and be sure to take advantage of it.

Nice color for accessorizing!

A checkerboard roof and a pair of checkered rear view mirror covers would be ever so tasteful.
