Hi Gold Member,you said send a lengthy email to the mini dealership general manager but which one there’s about 7 so far ?.Mini UK did contact me and said they will contact the dealer of my choice and they have apologised on their behalf.I didn’t put a complaint in I just phoned Mini UK about lead times and quotas ,as I’ve been given different information from dealer to dealer.To be honest I’m gone off the idea now I just can’t be bothered anymore.
