Just to give a little background, I ordered my mini back in December 2014 and my car was scheduled to be delivered in Feb 2015... well Feb came and the car arrived in Halifax NS, and was snowed in for about a month. During that time the car was fully covered in snow and they had the ingenious idea of throwing anti-freeze on the snow to be able to get the cars out...
anyways long story short, mini/bmw is now concerned about the condition of the cars and the chance of early rust and damage to components. So now their plan is to basically bring back all the cars and scrap them, and order brand new 2016 cars (same config or new car) for everyone affected...
Just brought my car in today, and the sales manager and everyone at the dealership has been awesome, they are setting me up with a brand new countryman S, until the new car comes in... which now opens up a whole set of problems... do I want the exact same car and color or do I want to change, I've had the car for about 5 months and there isnt a thing I regret about it but the possibilities are endless right now....
Oh and one more note, Benz and Audi cars are in the same situation, however, and this is according to the BMW guys, they are not doing anything to resolve the situation, no recall has been issued for these cars or anything...
love mini
