MINI Countryman launch party

Motor City MINI in Michigan held an event last night for the launch of the MINI Cooper Countryman! It was great to finally see the car in person and it’s actually smaller than I thought. The MINI they had was the Countryman S with automatic transmission and MINI Connected with Nav. I didn’t get to play with it, because I needed the keys to the MINI for me to do that 
The event was a great time, nice turnout I think with people from the local MINI club and some potential new owners. Speaking of potential owners, last night a guy surprised his wife with a MINI Cooper Clubman that he bought for her! The sign in the car said “How do you like your new MINI?” She was really happy to get her MINI! Check with your local dealer for the Countryman launch party, because it seems like all MINI dealers are doing it. Motor On!
2011 MINI Cooper options
Posted by Chris Ordon in MINI info on 2010/11/11
So if you’re about to order your MINI or just ordered it, there’s a new convenience package that MINI USA has not yet posted in their website builder (the last time I checked, MINI Connected wasn’t there, but I’m guessing in december it will be there). The new Convenience package, called Convenience package II or ZC2 for dealer code can be ordered if you order MINI Connected or MINI Connected with navigation. This package includes these following options:
319 Universal Garage Door Opener
322 Comfort Access keyless entry
431 Auto-dimming rearview mirror
521 Rain sensor and auto headlights
All of this for the price of $750!
Granted, if you ordered the Convenience package I, there’s no need to order this package II, because all of these items are included in the package I, except Bluetooth USB/iPod adapter. Now if you did order MINI Connected the Bluetooth USB/iPod adapter comes with it.

Here’s a video of the MINI visual boost that was added to the first build 2011 MINI Coopers by accident. Some dealers may still have this on the lot, so go ask your local MINI dealer. It’s a great option if you don’t want to spend the money on MINI Connected that will be available in December for MINI Coopers assembled in Oxford and MINI Countryman in November that are assembled in Austria.

If you’re shopping for a 2011 MINI Cooper you may be in luck! Some dealers are getting 2011 MINI’s with a 6.5″ screen that was put in the car by accident. It doesn’t have nav or MINI Connected, but only displays radio info on the screen. I haven’t gotten to see it work, but soon enough I will. So got o your local dealers and have a look around their lots, the 2011 are coming in. Motor On!
