yes i have to say my local mini/bmw dealer was excellant on the mini side and accomodating on the bmw side it was the mercedes dealer that let the side down.
bmw quickly arranged a test drive in an i3 and mini moved heaven and earth to get me a test in an automatic countryman. and mini have at least kept the mini mini on the scheme prett much throughout and have recently rought back the countryman albeit at a hefty ap. the same model as i have is now £2756, i paid £715 2 and a half years ago.
