Would deffo advise against MINI - got the (ex) missus one few years back - was fun to drive and all that but was a rattly little thing and will always remember seeing another MINI owner in tears at the service counter cause of what she was being quoted to have brakes replaced - BMW servicing prices if the TLC warranty has run out...

...but agree they do have 'quite nice staff' in the dealerships - got caught flirting/eyeing up/falling in love with the sales girl - hence why I was obliged to buy the bloody thing

Did she follow through on the deal?  Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue
Had- 2008 TDV8 Vogue SE in Java black
Had - 2007 S/C in Stornoway Grey

Hahaha!.............. no.

All I remember from that stolen moment was being too scared to get back into our p/x with SWusedtohavetoBO without the signed order form for a new Mini Cooper!!!

When it come to t*ts and wheels - I doubt you could burn cash quicker rather than spend it on them!

Edit: Dealer agreed to fix the mix up first thing this morning, so while not perfect it's good service. 
07 Supercharged - Still breaking her in!

[quote="stan"]metal valves are always going to be prone to corrosion, best stick rubber ones in even if it means loosing the tpms ..[/quote]

Having suffered a rear right blow out [last weekend] and now diagnosed to TPMS nut failure the garage 'inspected' the other 3 of which 2 were also found to be fractured. All have now been replaced with standard rubber valves.
