I just received this new owner swag package on Friday. It was a nice and unexpected surprise from Mini. The bag/backpack was actually the shipping package. It is lined with tough plastic and it was inside out when I received it with the shipping labels plastered on it.

Did everyone else get something like this?

 

[Peterg]

Got naff all with mine.

Just two Mini carrier bags and two umbrellas. Didn't expect anything at all so even that was a nice surprise.

 

[jeremybingham]

Nothing,nada,zilch. If they are mini umbrellas they're£40 to buy!

 

[Stingray82]

Well I guess I have to take back the things I said about Mini not being as nice to Canadian customers.

My local dealer also gave me the rubber mat set (essential in Vancouver) and two keychains.

Mini Canada gave me my choice of accessories as a thanks for enduring the EPA delay. Even though my health prevents my use of it, here is what I chose...

 

[jeremybingham]

Wow, nice. I did get two key to be forgot that one, that bikes very nice!

 

[Wheee!]

I received the same package as you. That is all I have ever received from Mini Canada. My dealer never acknowledged the EPA delay other than the guy who did the delivery telling me what a pain that was for them.

That's a cool little bike, bet it costs a fortune if you had to buy it!

Yes, it is very nicely made. It has more Mini logos on it than two real Minis and a cute little lime green bell. It folds up very small so it can go in the back of the car. The chain is teflon coated so no greasy stains on my interior.

I was looking at those bikes 2 weeks ago at the dealer. They were $500-600 US. Can't believe they GAVE you one! So far I haven't got anything but 2 dealer keyrings, but I did get a great discount on the car. It's been less than a month, so maybe Mini Santa will still bring me something. I've been a nice boy, haven't revved the engine past 4500 rpm, well not much.

Mini gift

I was given a Mini umbrella but just assumed the dealer gave everyone one.
Impressed with your bike gas a gift, I've just bought one on eBay for £125, which was hardly used.

 

[MINIgirl]

Nothing but a full tank of gas! Not even a bow!

 

[Stingray82]

They don't even sell umbrellas at the Mini dealers in Vancouver. Only tourists use them. Those who live here are born waterproof and we gasp for air if our gills get dry.

Hey Stingray, I got the same package from MINI Canada. I too thought it was very cool. I keep cleaning cloths in the bag in the trunk.

I love the bike and I'm sure you will too. It's a Tern badged for MINI, I have a similar one. Without spending a whole lot more, you can't find a better folding bike.

Have a blast!

I got one of those packages earlier this week as well! The recycled tires made into a mousepad was pretty rad... really smells like tire

 

[enzoi]

I am almost putting an order for a mini 4 door hard top but I have yet to negotiate the deals. I hope I can get the bike!

The Yaletown dealer is the best one to go with. They really care about keeping customers happy.

I didn't get treated well at the other dealership. They gave me kind of a "have your look and get out" kind of attitude. They didn't even regard me as a legitimate buyer. I don't think I fit the typical buyer "profile".

I didn't visit Richmond so I can't say anything about them.

All I got from Mini Mexico was a bunch of useless stuff and this friction car which is very nice.

I got this same package the other day from UPS, courtesy MiniCanada, but nothing for the EPA delay.

The car is pretty cool. How popular are Minis in Mexico? A Mex flag on the roof would be cool. I have noticed you guys get some cool GM models that we don't get.
