For those who have taken delivery...

Do you still receive any of the following either at delivery or after the fact?


These are not my own pics but I can share the 101 Fundamentals if people would like.

If they don't come with the name your Mini sticker I will have to recreate myself lol

I did not get any of those, and the 101 Fundamentals of Good Motoring is something I'd really like to see, sounds as significant culturally as the Unauthorized User's Manual.

I think even more so. Mine was copyrighted in 2014. I'll work on it. Just pure fun.
Need to get a pick of my name sticker too so I can replicate.

I really did get some fun swag over the years.

I did not make this pretty, just scanned in the booklet (it's a small booklet). Let me know if this works.

That came out great! Thanks!

Thank you for scanning & sharing!

I got a swag bag, but it didn't have any of those items. I got:

• MINI Tea-Maker
• MINI Bulldog
• MINI Cooper S Pull Back
• MINI FindMate
• A MINI Guide: For The Drive

The last item is a small book that I can't seem to find online. It's like a children's book written for adults with a kind of whimsey similar to the booklet @Lainey scanned.

Awesome!

Here's a pic of all the stuff they sent me. The black book is a journal. I think the Mini paperclip is the cutest (click to see bigger)

I found a version of that sticker on the North American Motoring forum:

I pulled this image from that image:

Oh that's awesome! Mine is quite boring. That would be cute in the glovebox.

I got nothing but the car, the keys, and the paperwork from the dealer. Sounds like some people are getting things in the mail though? I got a lot of that stuff in 2012 with my first Cooper. I'm still using the Mini mousepad as I type.

I am pretty sure most of my stuff came in the mail. The last one was the lens kit for the phone. So I think 3 separate packages in total.

I haven't read reports of others getting things yet in the mail so I wanted to ask. Maybe they aren't doing as much as they used to.

The salesperson gave me the swag bag when I took delivery of my SE, and we put it in the boot as part of the walk-around.

Last May, during the factory's pandemic shutdown, MINI USA VP Mike Peyton sent out prints of the MINI Electric concept drawing.

Note that the designers had no intention of including a hood scoop on the electric MINI. Then Marketing got involved.

That's pretty sweet! I do already have the fake bonnet scoop on my S so it doesn't bug me, but it would be just as cute without! I wish they could've made that an easier option for you!

Note that the designers had no intention of including a hood scoop on the electric MINI. Then Marketing got involved. One thing that really helped was getting all my notes and comparisons organized properly. Funny enough, I ended up using 99papers to put together a well-structured breakdown of EV specs, pros/cons, and even financing options. It saved me a ton of time when making the final decision.

It's great!
