New MINI won't start

I bought a 2011 MCS 12 days ago. Headed into the garage this morning to go help some friends move and it wouldn't start. Kind of seemed like a battery issue, but I was unsuccessful jumping it. Call roadside assistance, the flatbedded it to the dealer, and it turned out to be a dead dead dead battery. Haven't experienced anything like this before, but glad it was minor and is being fixed same day.

All the best,

Mark

PS--I jumped on a bike and still helped with the move. The delay actually helped, because when I arrived all the heavy stuff was loaded :-)
